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.

These limited edition, one-of-a-kind porcelain bowls make a wonderful, understated centrepiece on a dining or coffee table. Each one is unique. Images will be uploaded as and when new versions become available - that will vary slightly in glaze colour. Turned with a small foot to make them light and versatile, they can be used to serve up salads and side dishes on your dining table
Hand-thrown, these bowls are twice-fired in a process that involves dipping them in oatmeal glaze, firing, then brushing with white glaze and etching the design into the body of the vessel. Once a blue-grey glaze has been added to the centre and rim, the bowl is fired again to achieve this beautiful layered effect.

In a nod to the expressive brushmarks on this elegant, handled vase being reminiscent of rolling waves, the Seaford porcelain vase is named after my favourite spot to sit and watch the ebb and flow. of the sea’s tide.

It’s perfect for dry and fresh flower displays but equally makes a statement as a standalone piece.

Part of an exciting new range of beautiful, functional tableware, the Oxnam side plate is hand thrown on the potter’s wheel. Named after the rural Scottish hamlet that was the location for the Fishley Holland Pottery in the 1970s and ‘80s, this wonderfully tactile plece has been turned to make it light and functional.
The Oxnam plate goes through through five different processes after it’s been thrown and turned. Before being fired, it’s dipped in oatmeal glaze. Once fired, it’s then brushed with white glaze. When the glaze is dry, the linear pattern is incised on the interior before it’s fired for a final time.
Unglazed on the base, each one features our unique Fishley Holland maker’s mark.
Mix with our Harvest ceramic plates and bowls, or pair it with the rest of our Oxnam range, which includes a matching breakfast bowl and a dinner plate.

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.

We’ve added a larger version of our best selling Clevedon jug to our collection (it now come in small and as a set, too). Its size and simple, clean lines make it as versatile as it is beautiful; we like to fill ours with grasses or summer blooms, but it works equally well for gravy at dinner time or milk on the breakfast table.

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!

Add a dash of sophisticated versatility to your space with our latest, delicate hand thrown porcelain vases. The Madge vase features our beautiful smooth crackle glaze and has a soft, organic shape that works perfectly for statement floral and grasses. Its narrow opening makes it perfect for one or two simple stems. Leave it to standalone as a simple object of beauty or fill it with spears of larkspur and delphiniums, or one of our dried bouquets, to elevate it to the next level. The Madge comes in three sizes (small, medium and large) and look lovely clustered together, too.
Hand wash only - the intense heat of a dishwasher will fade our crackle glaze over time

A beautiful addition to your kitchen shelves and morning breakfast table, the Miro has an understated elegance and feels lovely in the hand. Each varies slightly in glaze tone.
