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.

Many of these tiny porcelain vases have been inspired by the shapes seen in classical Japanese pottery but they also follow a long tradition of miniature making in the family pottery.
Miniatures were first produced in the Braunton Pottery by William Fishley Holland in the mid-1900s.
These one-of-a-kind modern collections look great on their own but are equally striking as part of a curated display on your shelf or sideboard. Each collection of five vases is unique and will not be repeated.
Please note: if there is a particular shape or colour combination you’d like, please contact us directly as we are able to accommodate specific requests.

These one-of-a-kind collections of miniature stoneware houses were inspired by a recent trip to Ghent. Standing approximately 3, 4 and 5cm high, each house is individual and has a unique character of its own.

Please note: if there is a particular colour combination you would like then please get in touch and we can put one together specifically for you. We are also able to accommodate requests for larger collections.

Inspired by my own discovery of the power of lighting incense to help set intentions throughout the day, this wellness set is designed to encourage moments of calm, reflection and reset.
Included in the gift box are the tools you need to create a serene space in your home when looking to achieve a meditative atmosphere: a box of Earl of East London sandalwood incense cones, a hand thrown ceramic bowl with a gently fluted edge and a pretty box of matches. I’ve also included a mini posy of dried flowers (because who doesn’t like to receive flowers?).
The ritual of lighting incense can help to create a serene space in your home, separate from the outside world. Use grounding sandalwood to set an intention for the day - or to wind down in the evening.
The gently speckled oatmeal bowl can also be used for jewellery, keys and trinkets.
The perfect gift for a friend or family member who needs a reminder to slow down and take a breath, and a wonderful house warming gift. This neat little set is available for gift wrap with a handwritten note at checkout.

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.

Hand thrown in porcelain and finished in our signature chalky matt white glaze, the Constance candle holder brings graceful height and quiet drama to your table or mantelpiece. Designed as the taller sister to our bestselling Maude candlestick - and a natural partner to the original Hilda - Constance completes the trio beautifully.
Its slim, elongated silhouette adds an elegant sense of scale when grouped with candleholders of varying heights. Style with coloured taper candles for playful, modern tablescapes, or keep things simple with soft ivory candles to let the gentle curves and texture of the porcelain take centre stage.
Each Constance candlestick is individually thrown and subtly unique, stamped with our Fishley Holland Pottery mark - a nod to seven generations of craft potters in our family.
Made to fit our slim taper candles.
