FAQ's

We want to bring the restaurant experience into your kitchen. We design our products so that each meal will feel like you’re dining in your favorite restaurant, every single day. That extends beyond entertaining, it’s your daily coffee mug, sandwich plate, or ice-cream bowl. 

We designed our collection with the support of some of the most brilliant minds in the culinary industry such as Blue Hill at Stone Barns Chef Dan Barber, Wood Fire Food’s Chef Daniel Sabia, Chef Bill Taibe of Taproot & more!  

Each piece is thoughtfully designed and handcrafted for everyday use using non-toxic materials. The timeless designs are stackable to save space in the cabinet or they look nice enough to display on their own [at least we think so!].  Since each piece is individually hand-crafted, no two pieces are alike. 

We’re constantly seeking out eco-friendly and low-waste practices , our materials are always upcycled & repurposed into new pieces. 

Plus, we really really love what we do & hope our ceramics can bring you as much joy as we have creating them!

Connor McGinn & his team of passionate artists & craftsmen! 

We only use the best materials in our ceramics. Our team works hard to follow sustainable practices & source materials that are non-toxic and eco-friendly.

Clay

We use high fire clays (porcelain and stoneware) sourced from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. 

Glaze

is a mixture of different powdered non toxic minerals that when melted and cooled properly, form into a thin layer of glass on the surface of the piece making them impervious to water, and food safe!We make all of our own glazes in house so that we can both ensure the safety of them (making sure there are no heavy metals of lead in the ingredients), and so that we can achieve the beautiful semi matte, soft smooth surface that our customers have come to love.

Fire

While it’s not technically a material, we consider it to be one of the most important ingredients in our pieces. Each of our plates, bowls, and mugs is fired in our big gas kiln up to 2320 degrees. It is possible (and honestly easier) to ‘fire’ ceramics in electric kilns to a slightly lower temperature, but we choose to do things the hard way. Using this process provides two crucial aspects to our final pieces. One, is that by bringing the pieces to a higher temperature, our pieces end up being just a little bit stronger and more durable (which is really important, especially when working with restaurants). The other is that the firing process in the gas kiln creates some reall inc

No! Our products are not oven safe. But they are both dishwasher & microwave safe!

Yes! All of our ceramics are both microwave and dishwasher safe. We’ve developed our products to withstand the most rigorous of kitchen environments- If they can take the beating from clumsy bus waiters, and high temp industrial dishwashers, they can handle your home kitchen.

*Sidenote: Our ceramics are NOT OVEN SAFE*

Never! All our ceramics are made using non-toxic food safe ingredients. 

Our glazes are 100% lead free. We take precautionary measures through each step of the process to make sure of this. We're committed to only using the safest materials and environmentally conscious practices!

Orders

It varies by the sale you're shopping!

Right now, we're orders are shipping within 5-7 business days!

For our Pre-Order Sale:

All items for this sale are made to order. We expect lead times to be between 2-8 weeks.

We will be glazing each piece by hand to order and firing them to 2400 in our gas fired kiln. In order to streamline this process we will be combining orders into batches of 4 kiln loads (about 200pcs per firing so roughly 800 pieces per batch). Once those 4 kiln loads are all finished, our small team of makers will turn our workshop into a small packing and shipping facility to sort and pack up all of those orders to be shipped out together. This way we can ship out 1 batch (4 kiln loads) every 2 weeks.

Glazing pieces to order allows us to offer each of our designs in any of our 10 beautiful glaze options! 

Disclaimer: Larger orders may take longer to ship. 

Seconds & Overstock items are mostly ready to ship and will arrive within 7-14 business days
