Discover some of the most loved pieces from Paper Thin Moon - a collection of handmade ceramics created slowly in our family workshop in East Sussex. From large serving bowls and hand-thrown jugs to ceramic candlesticks, vases and teapots, these are the pieces people return to again and again for everyday use, seasonal tables and calm, considered homes. Perfect for natural, relaxed interiors, thoughtful gifting and everyday moments around the table.
I use these super versatile hand thrown bowls on a daily basis, and have done since they first came back from the workshop a year or so ago. The first thing I want to do when I see a a great new bowl or plate design come out of the kiln is pick it up and see how it feels - and these smooth, porcelain pieces feel so comforting and reassuring in the hand.
Their subtly speckled glaze give them a beautiful warmth, making them perfect for your breakfast granola and a warming bowl of soup for lunch, but they also make an elegant addition to the dinner table come evening.
Mix with some of our Oxnam twice-fired ceramic plates and bowls or pair it with the rest of our Harvest range, which includes matching dinner and side plates.

The Sophia handled vase looks as elegant with or without blooms and sits as naturally on a kitchen shelf as it does in any other room in the house, offering a sculptural element to a mantelpiece or a bedside table. We like to put tall, fluffy grasses in ours.

Our bestselling Clevedon jug is also available in this black porcelain handless set, that makes a beautiful and unique gift for cooks. Understatedly elegant, these modern little jugs are wonderfully versatile. I keep a pair on my kitchen shelves and use them endlessly.
We like to use one of them on a tray with our morning coffee by the fire, and they often make an appearance on our dining table when we’re serving tea for friends, bringing a little touch of elegance to proceedings. The pleasing contrast between the matt black glaze and the smooth, slightly gloss interior white is a thing of quiet beauty.

In this popular set, our Hilda candle holder comes with a bundle of four St Eval Embers candles and a box of pretty matches in its own box.
A wonderful gift for the candle lover (let’s face it, who doesn’t love a candle?), the Embers taper candle is delicately scented with a calming blend of cedarwood and musk with a hint of spicy cinnamon.
Evocative of a soul soothing log fire in winter, this warming scent has become a firm favourite in my own home - I can’t get enough of it!

Our Birdie jug has been updated recently, and is based on a Fishley Holland design produced in the 1980s that was informed by some of Picasso’s bright, painterly ceramics.
The new incarnation is a little more sculptural, has a lovely organic shape and is decorated with a pared back black and white palette. It looks handsome on its own but once flowers or dried grasses are added, they give the effect of giving the “bird” some added plumage!
