Modern Ceramics That Serve Up a Sense of Occasion at Any Meal
With artisanal craftsmanship, bold character and a touch of whimsy, these modern ceramics collections turn table settings into works of art.
More than simply functional vessels for serving food, handmade modern ceramics transform an everyday meal into one of beauty and sophistication. Brimming with character and heirloom-quality craftsmanship, each of these four collections makes a perfect – and visually appealing – dinner companion.
Founded in 2012 by ceramist Mark Warren and potter Chris Pence, Haand has become synonymous with handmade pottery pieces that are as elegant as they are practical. A favourite choice in high-end hospitality and restaurant circles, the North Carolina-based brand prioritizes high-quality materials and sustainable, low-waste production (using rainwater for slip casting, reclaiming and recycling scrap clay, for instance) while creating compellingly asymmetrical designs that are super-durable and tinted with a curated collection of beautiful glazes.
From perfectly imperfect dinner sets to ramekins and nesting bowls, each piece of pottery offered by Haand is hand-crafted by skilled artisans and brings a one-of-a-kind character to tablescapes. An evergreen option for both professional and private entertainers is the three-piece oval platter sets – designed to be nested, the three organically shaped and differently sized dishes can be used for serving up everything from snacks to whole feasts while delivering a healthy dose of artisanal flair. The platters are available in a range of hues, including matte white, light celadon and burl (a varied and earthy tone reminiscent of petrified wood).
