Why you'll love it
This little ramekin earns its keep well beyond the kitchen table — puddings, dips, tapas, or a cheeky bit of TV snacking. Why not treat your table to a full set? purchase a few in the same glaze for a matching set, or mix colourways for a more eclectic, informal spread. They are also a lovely birthday, housewarming, or anniversary gift for someone who appreciates handmade pieces.

How it's made
Every piece is thrown by hand by me, in my home studio in Bedfordshire. Each pot is shaped, left to dry to leather-hard, trimmed, and finished by hand. Once fully dry, it's fired to over 1000°C and cooled for about 24 hours, then glazed — sometimes with up to 8 brushed-on coats to build those painterly effects — before a final firing to 1180°C and another 24-hour cool-down. Start to finish, the whole process takes 3 to 6 weeks, a little longer in colder, damper months.
A note on handmade variation
Because each piece is made by hand, you may notice small differences in glaze and size from bowl to bowl — that's not a flaw, it's the joy of owning something one-of-a-kind.
Caring for your Ramekins
This bowl is dishwasher and microwave safe for everyday ease, but hand washing will keep the glaze looking its best over the long run — totally your call!
Kind to the planet too
Every order is packaged using recyclable and biodegradable materials — no unnecessary plastic, just careful, planet-friendly packing so your bowl arrives safe and sound.
