The Pujol i Bausis ceramics factory, known as la Rajoleta, was founded in Esplugues de Llobregat in the mid-19th century, in 1858, devoted to bricks, and specialised in tiles and decorative elements under Jaume Pujol i Baucis, who ran it from 1874 until his death in 1892 and redirected the business towards Modernist ceramics. His son Pau Pujol i Vila continued the company, renamed Hijo de Jaume Pujol i Bausis, in a period of strong growth. Its clients included Gaudí, Domènech i Montaner, Puig i Cadafalch, Enric Sagnier and the Güell family; its tiles cover the Casa Lleó Morera, the Casa Amatller and the Palau Macaya in Barcelona. Since 2002 part of the premises has housed the La Rajoleta Ceramics Museum.
