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.
 
First up - I’m not a portrait painter. But a few years ago, I got a bit carried away and made a handful of pottery pieces featuring hand-drawn, hand-glazed faces. It was love at first kiln opening…
 
And now, as part of my personal collection sale, it’s time for this lady (with her freckles and blusher) to find a new home. She’s been sitting quietly on our shelves, rarely used - mainly because we’ve somehow ended up with a serious surplus of plates and platters!
 
Size-wise, I’d call this a lunch plate. I usually make this size round, but this one’s oval - perfect for serving up a solo salad, a chunky sandwich, or presenting smaller dishes at the table or when handing things around.
 
Measurements: 26cm long, 21cm wide, 3cm tall.
 
One of a kind. Full of personality. Ready to charm someone new.

Reflecting its pre-loved status, and the very slight glazing issue, 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!
