Made in Spain: 8 Around-the-House Essentials from Real Fábrica Española

On our wish list? Nearly all the made-in-Spain offerings from Real Fábrica Española. The retailer has a brick-and-mortar shop in Madrid’s Literary Quarter and ships to nearly all of Europe (though we’re told they’ll ship to the US later this year).

Have a look at a handful of things we’re covering—including several under $20:

The small blue roll is €18.90; the napkins also come in white and dark green.
&#8\2\20;not another table with a transparent plastic jug!&#8\2\2\1; in 23
Above: “Not another table with a transparent plastic jug!” Instead, the shop suggests the Cáceres Ceramic Water Jug for pouring water, soups, and gazpachos, or as a vase. They add: “Our potter Jose is neither more nor less than the fifth generation of potters in his family, and he tries to maintain and preserve the same techniques and artisanal motifs that his ancestors used.” The jug is €56.90.

Above: “If La Rioja can boast of anything, it is its extra soft blankets, which since the 1930s have covered all the lucky ones who have one,” according to the retailer. “You will be sad when summer comes and you can’t use it.” Beige Weave Mohair Blankets are €259 each.
