Getting your perfect piece to you is our priority but as each piece is made to order (we don't hold any pieces in stock), the process takes a MINIMUM OF A MONTH although this is just a guide and if it goes over please bear with us, if it goes under let's celebrate!

All my life my writing has been commented on due to it being oversized so it seemed the right (or should that write!) thing to do to put it on my pottery, and these chunky plates (in a variety of sizes) work so well with a handpainted word on it. 
 
Don’t take my word for it though (pun intended) - you can choose your own word and your own colour too. Caveat being, that it has to be six letters or less (or four or less on a saucer/cake plate). I don’t mind what you want – name, affirmation-style word or even swearing. It’s your pottery so your choice! 
 
As well as the oversized words themselves the edging of the pieces is also coloured.  All will be lowercase, including the first letter. What's more, you can also choose to add a little rosy red love heart on the piece too (if the word includes an i or j the heat can be in place of the dot!)
 
Will the words/edging be perfectly coloured? Will the words be the same size or same thickness? No, no they won’t – I don’t use transfers or stencils - it’s perfectly imperfect chunky china after all!  Each piece is written and painted freehand with heaps of texture and individuality.

Caring for your pottery:
Marigold and Lettice pottery is made from white earthenware clay and designed to be used and enjoyed every day. We personally use our pieces in the oven, dishwasher, and microwave. However, to prolong the life of your pottery, handwashing is the gentler choice, as dishwashers can be tough on handmade items due to high-pressure jets and strong detergents and may overtime cause damage and speed up any grazing in the glaze. 
While we do microwave our own pieces, for longevity we suggest heating food in the oven where possible.

Our china looks and feels very (very) different to mass-produced pottery; it’s not fine or delicate, but wonderfully chunky and full of texture, you’ll see thumb prints, makers marks, glaze specks/drips and heaps of individuality. We call it perfectly imperfect pottery and firmly believe it’s all the better for it!
 
Please note that because each piece is unique the design will be different from the one in the picture – similar but unique.
