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.
Handmade in East Sussex.
A beautifully characterful piece, this one-of-a-kind porcelain bowl will bring a touch of drama to the table. With its hand-brushed accents of deep blue and dark umber, the centre takes on an almost eye-like quality - a focal point that draws you in each time you look at it.
Thrown in porcelain and turned with a foot, the bowl is first dipped in our warm, speckled oatmeal glaze before firing. Once cooled, layers of blue and rich brown glaze are painted by hand across the rim and centre, creating soft, tonal movement and depth. A second firing produces a striking yet understated surface full of character.
Perfect as a standalone display piece or as a serving bowl for salads, sides or fruit, it’s the kind of vessel that becomes part of the landscape of a home - quietly unique, made to be treasured.

The perfect table centrepiece, or for using to serve salads and side dishes, this beautiful stoneware bowl goes through a number or processes in its creation.
Once leather-dry it it turned and glazed in our signature speckled oatmeal glaze before being fired. A darker oatmeal glaze is then applied and, once dry, the liner pattern is incised into that glaze. A blue glaze is then used on the rim and to accent the centre after which it is fired a second time.
The effect is beautifully nuanced, creating blurred, soft grey-blue hues.
The result is a unique, tactile piece of stoneware showing the refined craftsmanship of a seventh generation potter - a piece to be treasured that can be used every day.

Named after the Scottish location for the Fishley Holland Pottery in the 1970s and ‘80s, the Oxnam bowl is part of a new range of beautiful, functional tableware.
Designed for those who delight in the tactile nature of handmade pottery, this porcelain bowl goes through five different processes once 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 and exterior before it’s fired one more time.
An elegant addition to a calming and peaceful breakfast table, its subtle, natural glazing mean the throwing rings are still visible in the base. The perfect size for breakfast porridge or a comforting bowl of lunchtime soup, it feels beautiful in the hand, too.
Turned with a small foot, making it light and functional - the base is unglazed and features our unique Fishley Holland maker’s stamp.
Mix with some of our other ceramic plates and bowls or pair it with the rest of our Oxnam range. A matching side plate and dinner plate are also available to pre-order.
