About Hand-Painted Serveware

When you hold one of my plates, you will notice it is not perfectly symmetrical, and that is intentional. My serveware is slab-built, meaning it retains the organic, rustic thickness of the clay rather than the thin uniformity of factory-made crockery. Because I use lead-free, food-safe glazes, these are perfectly safe for your daily meals, though I always recommend hand-washing them to keep the hand-painted details vibrant for years.
