Hand-glazed stoneware, hand-blown glass and washed linen, made in shapes that
stack, wash and stand up to a full week of meals. Every glaze is reactive, so
no two pieces come out identical.
Plates, bowls, drinking vessels, serving pieces, cutlery and linen. Buy the pieces you are short of rather than a boxed set with three shapes you will never reach for.
Every shape is sold on its own. Break a bowl in year three and you replace the bowl, not the set. Shapes stay in the range long enough for that to be a real promise rather than a slogan.
02
Weight you can hold all evening
A plate heavy enough to feel solid and light enough to carry six of at once. Every product page lists the weight per piece, because that is the number nobody publishes and everybody notices.
03
Variation is the finish
Reactive glazes move in the kiln. Two mugs from the same firing will differ in tone, in how the edge breaks and in where the glaze pools. If you want four that match closely, buy them in one order.
04
Dishwasher first, ceremony second
Nothing in the range needs hand washing to survive. Where a piece has a limit (an unglazed foot, a metal detail, a linen wash temperature) it is written on the product page, not buried in a care card.
The range
Eight shapes that cover most weeks
Sold as open stock, so you can buy two of something now and add four more next year without hunting for a discontinued glaze.

How it is made
Clay, glaze, kiln, and the variation that comes with them
Dimensions, weights and care instructions are published on every product page rather than left for you to guess at.
Thrown, then trimmed
Every plate and bowl starts on a wheel or a press mould, then gets trimmed by hand at leather-hard. That is why the foot ring on two plates of the same size can differ by a millimetre or two.
Reactive glaze
The glazes we use move in the kiln. Iron and manganese in the clay body pull through, so edges break lighter and pooled areas go darker. Variation between pieces is the finish, not a fault in it.
Fired to stoneware
Stoneware is fired hot enough that the body vitrifies and stops absorbing water. That is what makes it dishwasher-safe and far less prone to staining than earthenware fired at lower temperatures.
Made to be stacked
Rims, feet and handles are sized so plates nest, bowls stack and mugs sit under a standard cabinet shelf. Full stacking dimensions are on every product page so you can measure before you buy.
Care
Four habits that keep stoneware intact
The full version, including what crazing is and when it matters, is on the care page.
01
Wash it normally
Dishwasher, standard cycle. Load pieces so they cannot knock each other, chips come from contact in the rack, not from the water.
02
Skip the shock
Do not move a piece from the fridge into a hot oven, or pour boiling water into a cold mug. Thermal shock is what actually cracks stoneware.
03
Stack with a break
Slide a felt pad or a paper towel between stacked plates. The unglazed foot ring is harder than the glaze it sits on.
04
Live with crazing
Fine lines in the glaze are crazing. On vitrified stoneware they are cosmetic rather than a leak. The long answer is on the care page.
Reactive glazes move while they are firing. What actually changes, how much, and how to order so the variation works in your favour.

the occasional correction when we get a measurement wrong. Roughly once a
