Gifts for Cooks
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 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.

Why not add some minimalist drama to your home with one of our soft white porcelain pedestal bowls. They work beautifully as fruit bowls and double up as the perfect elegant vessel for flower arrangements. We like to place a metal flower frog in the base and experiment with ikebana-style displays.

These tiny, delicate bowls were originally designed to hold salt and pepper on the dinner table but they’ve proved to be fantastically versatile. We have some seeds in one of ours, but they can hold pins, paperclips and matches, and they are also big enough to house a regular size tea light.

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.

Introducing our domed porcelain butter dish for those slower, weekend mornings when a lazy, indulgent breakfast is the order of the day.

A slightly larger, stoneware version of our Shoji cane handled teapot. Perfect for three or four good sized cups of tea. Why not curl up with a book and your favourite blend and make an afternoon of it?
Hand thrown in stoneware clay and decorated with our own delicately speckled oatmeal glaze, the bamboo handle adds to its contemporary look. It’s the perfect pourer, too - no drips here!
Hand washing recommended for this product (due to the handle potentially not withstanding very high water temperatures over time)

The handleless porcelain Isabel jug now comes in our crackle glaze, too. This perfect little pourer is as practical as it is beautiful and makes an elegant addition to the lazy weekend morning breakfast table. I like to display two or three of them together on my kitchen shelves for a quietly impactful shelfie moment. They’re great for holding a fistful of dried flowers or tiny wooden spoons, too.

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!
