How it’s Made
The first step in the creation of a Sugar Saver is to roll out a slab of terracotta low fire clay.
We then use stamps and cutters we 3D print in house to cut out the sugar saver and imprint the design in the clay. Then after allow the clay to dry for several days we put the sugar savers in the kiln to fire to over 1800 degrees and cool for severals hours. This firing a cooling process takes roughly 24 hours depending on several factors.
Once the they have cooled we then bag the sugar saver along with instructions on their use. They are ready to send to their new home where they will be loved and used for years to come.
Our complete line of Sugar Savers are handmade in the United States in East Tennessee near Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Our sugar savers come in a wide variety of styles and themes to appeal to many tastes.
