The problem with being a potter? Too many ideas… and not enough shelf space. Over the years, I’ve made (and kept!) so many pieces I’ve loved - but with kitchen shelves groaning and space running out, I’ve decided it’s time to (grudgingly) part with a small selection from my personal collection.
These are pre-loved, gently used, and full of character - and they’re all being offered at a discounted price to reflect that.
Fluted plate — check!
This was the first (and so far only) of its kind - I’ve still not had the chance to go back and play more with this design. That said, this one turned out rather lovely (even if I say so myself), though it is a touch flat.
That isn’t a problem for something like a sandwich - making it a perfect lunch plate - or as a charger under a colander or serving dish. I just wouldn't put anything with a sauce on it that could run over the side!
However, it also works beautifully as a base for candles, condiments, or even bottles of handwash beside the sink. It's 24 cm wide and deliciously fluted!
Gently used, this piece is a joy to look at as well as to use. Reflecting its pre-loved status, it’s been discounted by 20%.
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!
