Limited Edition of 2, One-of-a-kind, hand-painted pottery

Blue and red botanicals hand-painted on a serving platter.

A little bit Pallissy, a little Rococo, a little bit folk art, these are really a joy to paint. I love the late summer feeling of every plant being fully grown, exuding a green presence, hiding bugs, snakes, and flowers in their shade. It reminds me of being a child, looking for critters in a neighbor's shrub as cicadas whir and the school year approaches. Summer’s glory fading, and fall approaches as we keep repeating the season’s cycles each year- the melody is the same but the lyrics keep changing. I think this poem by Wordsworth really captures the vibe I am trying to capture in this series:


"Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower
We will grieve not; rather find
Strength in what remains behind."
-Wordsworth, “Ode: Intimations of Immortality”


Details: Hand-painted, one-of-a-kind decoration in red and blue glaze under a clear gloss glaze. Microwave and dishwasher safe.
Dimensions: 

  • Bud Vase: 5" H x 5.5" W

      Is your dinnerware dishwasher & microwave safe?

      Yes, our plates are designed for the rigors of restaurant kitchens and will be safe in your dishwasher & microwave. For cleaning we recommend using detergents that are gentle and environmentally friendly such as Seventh Generation.

      How do I clean cutlery marks off the plates?

      Any matte glaze can show cutlery marking over time. This is a factor of the glaze being stronger than the flatware. Any marking is only temporary and do not worry, it is not harming the glaze. To remove these marks, we recommend scrubbing with a gentle abrasive cleaner such as Bar Keeper’s friend.

      Is your dinnerware oven safe?

      Yes, our plates are also safe in your oven up to 400°F but they are not bakeware or intended for routine use in the oven. Always be careful to prevent subjecting them to thermal shock (going from extreme cold to extreme hot or visa versa). Thermal shock can break or damage porcelain pottery.

      Are your products durable?

      Our work is used daily in over 175 restaurants around the world. Fast paced restaurants put our plates through rigors that they’ll never experience in your home. You can use our plates just like you’re accustomed to and when taken care of and stored properly, our wares will last a lifetime (or a few!).

      How do Haand plates stack?

      Our plates are designed to stack in your cupboard. We do not recommend stacking plates more than 12" high.

      The Haand Painted Collection

      One-of-a-kind artworks, Haand painted by Mark Warren, Haand's co-founder and creative director.

      Behind the Collection

      I started painting on our plates during the early days of the pandemic in 2020. I started painting on plates and serving pieces that were a little wonky for one reason or another. It was a way to kill the time and make the walls feel less like they were closing in during a pretty scary time.

      I quietly put them up on the site, shared a few pictures, and left it at that. I never really had the sense they were selling, but when I checked in a few months later, they had all sold out. I was delighted that they had made their way into people’s homes, and hopeful they made them as happy to look at them as I did making them.

      Fast forward to 2022, and we got a few press requests for samples, and I thought to myself, we may have something here. So, building off those original shapes, I worked with Matthew (my high school homeroom buddy turned Haand R+D lead) on making a decoration glaze that applies like watercolor and retains its intensity through the firing process. We developed a deep, classic Dutch blue and rich Mediterranean red. 

      Our Haand Painted line is really a labor of love for me. I paint each of these by hand, trying to make each one make sense with its fellows but still look completely individual. It’s time-consuming but feels good to move my brush across the clay surface, as I reflect on the long history of potters who have done the same thing over the millennia- reflecting the times they lived in, memorializing everyday life and their hopes, dreams, and loves in the most permanent of mediums- glazed pottery.
