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.
 
A while back, I became obsessed with adding eyes, lips, noses and ears to my pottery — so it was only natural that things progressed to full-on heads! Each one has its own hairstyle but all share the same rosy red cheeks (my own signature makeup style).
 
For some reason (and I’m still not sure why), these designs never made it beyond two prototype cereal bowls. This reminds me: I really must try them on other forms like dishes, vases or roasters — but that’s a project for another day.
 
These two bowls have lived happily on our kitchen shelves, stacked with the rest of our cereal bowls. They've had a gentle life of use, but now they're heading for a new home as part of my personal collection sale — perfect for anyone who’s been keeping an eye out for a cheeky bit of pottery!
 
There are two bowls available - and price reflects their pre-loved status and the 2-head's slight second nature:
One is a proper rogue’s gallery, with multiple heads circling the outside. £30 reduced to £15
The second (slightly smaller) has just two heads, one on either side — I like to imagine them watching what’s being served, like a modern take on a handled soup bowl. On this one there is some areas of bobbling and a big fat drip of glaze on one side just for added character but is reflected in the price!  £20 reduced to £8 
 
 

 
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!
