Granada
Cuchillería Ruiz traces its Granada shop history to 1910, when Antonio Ruiz established a workshop at El Pie de la Torre. His son José opened the J. Ruiz shop and workshop on Marqués de Gerona in 1936. The business later moved to Plaza de las Pasiegas during the 1980s, adding El Llavín de Oro to its name.

Granada
Cerámica Los Arrayanes was born in Granada in 1988 to preserve the city's ceramic tradition, which grew from the glazes and forms of Nasrid workshops. Its artisans trained under Agustín Morales Alguacil of Cerámica San Isidro. Each piece is shaped on the wheel or in hand-made moulds, bisque fired, painted with natural pigments and fired again at the shop on Calle Alhóndiga 16.

Cerámica Los Arrayanes was founded in Granada in 1988 by Manuel Martín, who had entered the ceramics trade in 1974 as an apprentice at Cerámica San Isidro, then one of the city's most important workshops, before setting out on his own. The house's artisans trained under the San Isidro workshop's own master potter, Agustín Morales Alguacil, a figure regarded internationally as a leading authority on Granada's ceramic tradition, and that lineage of technique — rather than an inherited family kiln — is the foundation the workshop still builds on. The business now operates two sites: a shop in Granada's historic center on Calle de la Alhóndiga, and a production workshop and second outlet in Atarfe, a town on Granada's outskirts, where the pieces are actually thrown, fired, and hand-painted. The decorative language draws on the Nasrid aesthetic that shaped Granada's visual culture under the emirate that ruled the city from the thirteenth to the fifteenth centuries, applied here across a range that runs from purely decorative tiles and vessels to functional commissioned work — sinks, house signage, and custom pieces for cortijos, the traditional Andalusian country estates. That range, spanning ornamental and functional ceramics alike, distinguishes Los Arrayanes from workshops that specialize narrowly in either tourist-facing decorative ware or utilitarian pottery.
