Now, here’s a confession, we’ve always been addicted with bows and will literally tie a ribbon to anything – from a door handle to our hair… anyway, we’ve gone a little further and fallen in love with hand painting large pink/red bows on our pottery. No two can, or will ever, be the same but that is what makes them even more special.
The size of the bow will fit the size of the platters ordered, and each will use either pink or blues tones.
The bows most certainly won’t be a full block colour but more an impression / abstract / weathered / perfectly-imperfect in finish. The glaze, clay and kiln will make each unique...

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 FOUR WEEKS although this is just a guide and if it goes over please bear with us, if it goes under let's celebrate!

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.
Marigold and Lettice pottery is (hand)made to be loved and used, and happily goes in the oven, dishwasher and microwave.

WIDTH LENGTH HEIGHT Large rectangle 29 cm 35 cm 3 cm Medium rectangle 25 cm 30 cm 2 cm Large oval 25 cm 33 cm 3 cm Medium oval 20 cm 25 cm 2 cm Marigold and Lettice pottery is made to be used, loved and enjoyed; it’s made using sturdy earthenware clay and a thick white glaze. This means it’s hard-wearing and every piece can safely go in the oven, dishwasher, microwave and even the freezer.
Each piece that is made by Marigold and Lettice is totally handmade and a one-off. So, if you see thumb prints in the clay or the glaze that may be thicker in some parts than others, it's because each piece is unique and is what gives our chunky china its specialness, and a different look and feel to mass-produced pottery.
When you first get your chunky china piece you may hear a ‘ping’ - especially the first time the pottery meets with water. If you do, please don’t worry, it's really quite normal and will stop as soon as the glaze/clay settles down together. You may also notice that the bottom of every piece is left unglazed, and this may leave a slight residue on your shelves, but can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth.
Like with all china, over time you may also notice signs of use in the glaze, but these are just signs of the china being well-loved. If this is the case, please be assured, the piece will still be perfectly fine to use.
