Made to be used

Materials & care.

These are pots for daily life, not the shelf. Here’s exactly what they’re made of, how to look after them, and why no two are quite the same.

Cone-6 stoneware

Mid-fire stoneware fired to ~2,232°F — dense, durable, and vitrified so it won’t absorb water or stain. Built for daily use, not a shelf.

Studio-mixed glazes

Every glaze is mixed in house from raw materials, lead-free and food-safe. I test each batch on the same clay before it touches a pot you’ll eat from.

Dishwasher & microwave

Most pieces are dishwasher and microwave safe (noted on each listing). Hand-washing keeps glazes brightest and protects handles and cane fittings.

Before first use

Give a new pot a warm rinse. A brand-new unglazed foot can be lightly sanded if it feels rough on a table — a quick pass with fine sandpaper.

Handmade variation

Slight differences in size, glaze break, and speckling are the signature of handmade work — never a flaw. No two pots are identical, including within a set.

A note on crazing

Some glazes develop fine surface lines (crazing) over time. It’s a normal, food-safe characteristic of certain glazes and part of how handmade pottery ages.

The glaze library

Three glazes, all food-safe.

TideSea-glass celadon — A wash of pale blue-green celadon that pools darker in the throwing rings — like water caught in stone. Glossy, cool, calm.

EmberIron-red & oatmeal — Warm iron reds breaking over a toasted oatmeal body. Matte, earthy, a little wild where two glazes meet at the rim.

FieldSpeckled white satin — A soft satin white over a speckled stoneware body — iron flecks bloom through the glaze in the firing. Quiet, everyday, endlessly mixable.
