As seen in Bon Appetit, Epicurious, Architectural Digest, and more. A place setting for one—The 11" Full Plate, The 8" Half Plate, and The 8.5" Open Bowl. Our ceramics are crafted from natural Korean soils and hand-finished, and as such, each piece is one-of-a-kind and imperfect.

"Slowly made, intentionally crafted goods that bring beauty to any kitchen table"
"A collection of hand-finished ceramics that you’ll want to pass down for generations."
"The star here is the new stoneware from one of our favorite brands, Material."

We're setting the table.

Our foray into tabletop is one that’s meant to elevate small, everyday moments, and to make people comfortable at the table, so they can pull up a seat and stay a while.

Dining together is an intimate tradition, and we wanted our first dining offering to feel personal. Thus, we partnered with Soil Baker, Hye Rin Yang, a South Korean female ceramicist who blends expert culinary and design expertise into timeless, long-lasting pieces.

Human hands are involved in every step of the making. Each design was hand-thrown on the potter’s wheel and fired using traditional techniques, drawing upon the age-old craftsmanship of Yeoju, South Korea, where artisans have been producing ceramics since 918 AD.

The clay for our collection is drawn from numerous soils (Dune, three, and Grotto, five) for a clay blend that was invented by Soil Baker craftsmen, exclusively for us. The result is a versatile color depth that changes in various light - simple enough to let your food stand out, yet detailed enough to warrant a second look.

Despite ceramics’ delicate reputation, ours are lightweight yet sturdy enough for everyday use, as well as dishwasher- and microwave-safe.

The Open Bowls --

Managed to snare two of these bowls when they were marked way, way down in price to a more manageable $25/each. I'd been looking for something that would make my daily meals a little more appealing and special and saw the review on Serious Eats. When I looked at the Material site, to my surprise they were on sale. Serious Eats mentioned that these bowls helped retain. heat better than any others they tested, which was important to me -- I'm a stickler for serving hot foods hot, especially pasta.

I bought one in each color. They're lovely bowls. Everything looks better in them. They feel and look lovely. The Grotto color looks almost black on the site, but it's a greenish dark gray, lovely. The dune is a subtle neutral color that I thought might be boring but I wanted the choice of a dark and a lighter bowl. Turns out it's also beautiful. I'll be using these nearly every day, with pleasure. I could never have bought these at the regular price, and I feel very lucky I managed to buy them recently. Just a few days after, they were out of stock, so I don't know if they'll be available again. If you can find these on sale, don't hesitate.

Great everything bowl

This is my favorite dish to eat out of - you can use this bowl for basically every meal. No need for plates! And the bowl has held up super well after many trips through the dishwasher.
