Our swan 🦢range ticks all our boxes – white ✅ chunky ✅, unique ✅, splash of colour which only serves to make the white pop even more ✅✅✅
Each of the 🦢 beaks are handpainted orange and black: expect each one to be different as the glaze takes on its own character in the kiln - no transfer printed or block made for us. We love that even more, but exact replicas they aren’t so please expect them to have their own characters (perfectly imperfect as always).
The swans will all be the same size regardless of the size of the vase you order, but the bigger the vase the more swans 🦢 you’ll have swimming around the base.
Price/ size options:
Small - £45
Medium - £55
Large - £70
Shown in the pictures here is the medium 🦢 vase...
💋 Important vase information 💋
Marigold and Lettice vases are unapologetically different. Each are made by hand (no moulds or casts are used) so each will have their own shape and lines. Because of this expect them to be slightly sloped and not symmetrical. They certainly aren’t mainstream or mass market, but it will be unique to you and packed with character and texture.

Getting your perfect piece to you is our priority but as each piece is made to order (we don't hold any pieces in stock), the process takes a MINIMUM OF FOUR WEEKS although this is just a guide and if it goes over please bear with us, if it goes under let's celebrate!

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!
Please note that because each piece is unique the design will be different from the one in the picture – similar but unique.
Marigold and Lettice pottery is (hand)made to be loved and used, and happily goes in the oven, dishwasher and microwave.

WIDTH HEIGHT SMALL 10 cm 14 cm MEDIUM 12 cm 16 cm LARGE 14 cm 20 cm Marigold and Lettice pottery is made to be used, loved and enjoyed; it’s made using sturdy earthenware clay and a thick white glaze. This means it’s hard-wearing and every piece can safely go in the oven, dishwasher, microwave and even the freezer.
Each piece that is made by Marigold and Lettice is totally handmade and a one-off. So, if you see thumb prints in the clay or the glaze that may be thicker in some parts than others, it's because each piece is unique and is what gives our chunky china its specialness, and a different look and feel to mass-produced pottery.
When you first get your chunky china piece you may hear a ‘ping’ - especially the first time the pottery meets with water. If you do, please don’t worry, it's really quite normal and will stop as soon as the glaze/clay settles down together. You may also notice that the bottom of every piece is left unglazed, and this may leave a slight residue on your shelves, but can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth.
Like with all china, over time you may also notice signs of use in the glaze, but these are just signs of the china being well-loved. If this is the case, please be assured, the piece will still be perfectly fine to use.
