Our story
Painted by hand, piece by piece
Every plate starts as plain clay and is finished entirely by hand — sketched, painted and glazed in a small studio in South Africa before it travels to a home anywhere in the world.
What began with personalised celebration plates for weddings and christenings has grown into two collections: keepsake pottery for milestones, and a hand-painted sea-life dinner service for everyday tables.
Nothing is transferred or printed. Each name, date, landscape and flower is drawn freehand in cobalt blue, then fired so it lasts a lifetime.

Design
I sketch the plate by hand and share it with you before any paint touches the clay.

Paint
Every line is painted freehand in cobalt blue — nothing is printed or transferred.

Fire
The plate is glazed and fired so the painting lasts a lifetime, then packed and sent to you.
