Handmade ceramic bowls and plates for tables that are used every day, from stoneware mixing bowls and nesting sets to hand-moulded everyday bowls and serving platters. Each piece is made by an independent UK studio, so no two tables end up looking the same.
This collection is our edit of handmade tableware for everyday meals, dinner parties, Christmas lunch and gifts. Whether you’re setting up a first home, replacing a chipped bowl, looking for a housewarming or wedding gift, or choosing something for a friend who loves to cook, you’ll find stoneware pieces here that are made to be used and kept.
For the kitchen: Leach Pottery’s mixing bowl set, prepping bowl set and nesting bowls in four sizes are made for cooks, with the heritage of the St Ives pottery behind them. They’re useful for baking days, prepping vegetables, and serving at the table. The nesting bowls are also a good-value place to start, from £22.
For everyday bowls: Brickett Davda’s hand-moulded bowls come in leaf green, brick pink, carbon grey and blossom pink, and suit breakfast, soup, salad and snacks. Liz Vidal’s dipped glaze bowl, in a design that’s different every time, works on its own or as a mismatched set.
For the table: Eloise Rose’s lemon stripe platter and Pip Hartle’s plates are the pieces that make a table feel special, whether it’s a Sunday lunch or a Christmas dinner. They’re also a good choice for a host gift or a wedding present, as something she’ll use again and again.
For gifts: Handmade bowls are a reliable gift for anyone who cooks. Pair a Liz Vidal bowl with a wooden spoon, a Leach Pottery nesting bowl with a cookbook, or add a gift card from our shop for a gift that’s easy to send.
