Melia Ceramic Dog Bowl

How Melia Ceramic Dog Bowls are made:

Step 1: The skilled American craftsmen form the heaviest dog bowl in the pet industry using a 15 ton hydraulic press.

Step 2: The rims of the dog bowl are then hand trimmed and shaped.

Step 3: The leather hard dog bowls are then bisque fired to 2,000 degrees.

Step 4: The artisans decorate the dog bowls with a creative design and sign the bottom of each piece. Like all hand painted pieces, each is slightly different from the other, therein lies the charm.

Step 5: Personalized dog bowls have the name hand painted onto the bisqueware at this time.

Step 6: If the bowl passes yet another inspection, it is then dip glazed in a lead free dinnerware safe glaze and sent into the kilns for a final firing.

Step 7: The final firing is at over 1800 degrees. This dual firing process ensures brilliant color and durability as well as dishwasher and microwave safe bowls. All glazes and underglazes are dinnerware safe (FDA approved) and prop 65 compliant.

Step 8: All Melia dog bowls are inspected six times throughout the process to ensure a flawlessly crafted bowl of unmatched quality.

Step 9: Each bowl is then individually boxed and shipped to you for your dog to enjoy!
