Established in 1857, Jars Ceramistes makes ultra-durable plates, bowls, cups, and serving pieces in distinct colours and shapes. They fire clay just once at the high temperature of 1280’C rather than the standard three times ‘ an eco-friendly practice that results in hard-wearing ceramics that resist cracking, chipping and fading. They hold up to frequent…

This is a result of an energy-saving manufacturing process that fires only once at 1285’C rather than the…
Loft is a collaboration between two titans of the ceramics industry: Rosenthal, the 140-year-old German porcelain manufacturer, and award-winning British design group Queensberry Hunt, whose work is in the collections of many museums around the world including London’s Victoria & Albert.

Only old (and very rare) olive trees are wide enough to yield enough wood to make large bowls like this one from Berard, which is spun from a single piece of olivewood.
Kinto’s Ceramic Lab range balances orderly, neat designs with the warm patterns of sandstone native to the Nagasaki prefecture of Japan, where it is manufactured. Many transformations occur in this unique porcelain, which is ultra-sensitive to temperature and humidity when firing. This results in a speckled, ‘scorched’-looking pattern called ‘yo-hen’. The natural unevenness of this…
