Who we are.
The Concept
Rustic Design
A clay chiminea suits nearly any backyard patio. Ours has a cream body with hand-painted relief ornaments in light red or light blue, so it fits rustic and modern outdoor decor alike.
How every Sparkle Stone chiminea is made
Every Sparkle Stone chiminea is shaped by hand from 100% natural clay, then fired and hand-painted in our own workshop in Chișinău.
Our outdoor fire pit will bring your patio or backyard warmth and ambiance your family and friends are sure to flock to.
A Sparkle Stone chiminea draws fresh air into the design of your garden, beyond your expectations.
A showpiece of style and taste, in your home or garden!
Handmade, eco-friendly, no two alike
Every Sparkle Stone piece is born on the potter’s wheel from 100% natural clay, with no industrial moulds — which is why no two chimineas are alike. We shape, fire and hand-paint every piece in our own workshop, so the relief ornaments fall a little differently on each one.
We believe in eco-friendly, durable objects with a story: natural materials, recyclable packaging and a craft that honours the ceramic tradition. A Sparkle Stone garden fireplace also makes a unique handmade gift — for a housewarming, for your parents, or for anyone who loves evenings outdoors.
How we work: the process in our workshop
Every Sparkle Stone piece passes through the same hands in our workshop in Chișinău (Valea Bîcului 9) — from a lump of clay to the object packed for the road:
- The clay. 100% natural clay, no synthetic additives — the same raw material this craft has used for thousands of years.
- Hand-shaping. No industrial molds: each piece is raised and ornamented by hand, which is why no two are identical.
- Slow drying. The piece dries naturally, without shortcuts — the step you cannot skip without cracks appearing later.
- Firing. The kiln turns clay into ceramic — that is where our chimineas get their resistance to the heat of a real fire.
- Finishing and inspection. Glazing or hand-painting where the piece calls for it, then a check of every detail and careful packing.
