Vivian Howard & Haand Small Driftwood Vase
"My first memory of flowers was of my mom planting many bright red geraniums each summer. I loved the way they smell, and to this day, I still plant one in a pot of my own.
The Small Driftwood Vase is just so beautiful- it gives you the opportunity to not focus so much on the flowers and more so on the vase. I spent a lot of my early life using salvaged vases, so the adult me can certainly appreciate the beauty of a vase. Someone once told me that cut flowers are art for people who don't have any money. I think this merges that idea because the vase is definitely a part of the art that is flowers.
I tend to be really keen on wild things when it comes to flower arrangements. I often put things in vases that are naturally occurring around me-- flowers from ditches and lots of greenery. With this thought, no matter what time of year it is, there are always things to find to put in your vases without having to buy them." - Vivian Howard, Kinston, NC, April 2022

Care & Durability
Are your products durable?
Our work is used daily in over 200 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!).
Do your plates show cutlery marks? How do I clean cutlery marks off the plates?
Any glaze can show cutlery marking over time. Some types of flatware mark more than others, and some of our glazes will show these marks more than others- Matte White, Buttermilk Pink, Celadon, Coquina, and Terra. 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 or Pink Stuff.
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.
