Award-winning Somerset designer Sarah Petherick’s unique range of contemporary tableware is hand-carved and finished by highly skilled craftsmen in Vietnam. The natural materials used are from sustainable sources. Water buffalo meat is a big part of the Vietnamese diet, and the discarded bone would otherwise be incinerated, releasing carbon into the atmosphere. These beautiful Red…
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…

Though Jars Ceramistes is a family-run company that’s been around since 1857, their tableware is perfectly suited to contemporary needs.
