Slow-made ceramics, thoughtfully crafted and built to last.

Each ceramic piece is handbuilt using traditional methods - shaped by hand, slowly dried, and fired with care. Every piece is tested to ensure it is watertight and made to be both functional and beautiful.

Slight irregularities in size, glaze and texture reflect the artisan nature of the product and should be embraced.

Care Instructions

To help your ceramic piece stay beautiful for years to come, please follow these care guidelines:

  • Hand wash only
    While our ceramics are technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm water and mild soap to protect the finish (especially when there is gold detailing).

  • Avoid harsh cleaners
    Strong detergents and abrasive scrubbers can damage the surface over time.

  • Not microwave safe
    To avoid cracks or damage, please do not use your piece in the microwave.

  • Avoid thermal shock
    Sudden changes in temperature - such as pouring boiling water into a cold vessel - can cause cracking.

  • Handle with care
    Each piece is unique, with subtle variations in form and glaze. These are part of the charm of handmade work.

Lead Times

Each piece is made to order in small batches. Please allow for the following lead times:

  • Small pieces: up to 3 weeks
  • Larger or more involved work: up to 6 weeks

Sometimes, I have pieces held in the studio in a ready-to-glaze state. If your selected piece is available in this stage, it can be completed and shipped in less time than noted above.

Please message me if you’d like to place an order over 10 units.

Ordering a Collection or Custom Work

If you’re interested in ordering a collection of pieces (for events, wholesale, or interior styling) or would like to commission a custom design, please contact me directly to discuss lead times and availability.

Frequently asked questions

Are all of your ceramics handmade?

Yes they are!

It is for this reason that sizes and shapes will vary slightly from piece to piece making your piece truly unique.

Are your pieces functional as well as decorative?

Yes they are!

All vessels used for food are glazed with non-toxic food-safe glazes and each vessel used for liquid is checked to see if it is watertight.

What care advice can you give?

Wash your pieces in mild soapy water avoiding any abrasive materials such as a scouring pad.

What is Gold Lustre?

Gold Lustre is a decorative finish applied at 750ºC in a third firing. The lustre we use has 24 carat gold content which gives the piece a beautiful metallic sheen. This metallic content means that the pieces should be handwashed and are not to be used in the microwave nor in the dishwasher... these steps will ensure the longevity of your piece.

Do you take commissions or custom orders?

Yes, we welcome commissions. Whether you are looking for a special gift or a decorative statement piece, we can create something bespoke.

How will my ceramics be packaged and shipped?

All UK orders are carefully wrapped and boxed ensuring safe delivery. We use the Royal Mail 48 hour tracked service. Should you require a speedier delivery please choose Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed option at checkout.
