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.
 
Made in honour of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022, this bowl was part of a small batch I created as a personal ode to Her Majesty. Most were made in colour, but I kept this all-white version for us - as a big fan, it felt right to have one on our shelf.
 
It’s lived happily at the bottom of our cereal bowl stack ever since, but in the spirit of clearing space and letting special pieces go to new homes, I’m including it in my personal collection sale - ready to be loved and used.
 
This cereal-sized bowl measures 14cm wide and 9cm tall (or around 11cm tall including the crown). The sculpted bust and royal crown add personality but don’t interfere with everyday use. I wouldn’t dream of claiming Her Majesty would approve… but in my heart, I like to think she might.
 
Now, HRH has a tiny bit of thick glaze where she was held before being dunked in the glaze, and the tinest of drips, but we like to think it just adds to her character - but this has been reflected in the discounted price alongside the reduction for it's pre-loved status! Overall a 20% reduction.

 
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!
