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.
 
Pre-loved, full of personality: Who doesn’t need (or at least want) a little jar or sugar bowl with a hand-sculpted lady’s head for a handle?

With bobbles covering the base, this piece is unapologetically chunky (obviously), playful (of course), and completely one of a kind (goes without saying). She's lived on our shelves full of baking beans (which we never used), but would be just as happy holding sugar, trinkets, jewellery - or stashing a few sweet treats within easy reach.
 
Maker’s note: while the base and lid are made for each other, and the lid includes a fluted lip to help it stay put. However, as with all our handmade pieces, the clay doesn’t create an airtight seal - more beautiful than practical, we say.
 
This jar stands 18cm tall including the handle (10cm without the lid/handle), and measures approx. 9.5cm wide.
 
Reflecting its pre-loved status it’s been reduced by 25%.
 
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!
