Stoneware
Wood-fired stoneware is tough and food-safe. Most pieces take the dishwasher, but a hand-wash keeps a soda glaze looking its best for longest. Avoid sudden temperature shocks.

Made by
Kiln & Clay
Asheville, North Carolina · since 2014
Wood-fired stoneware for the daily table. Fired in a soda kiln to cone 10. Each glaze is mixed in-studio from raw oxides — the ash blush along a rim is the kiln's signature, not a defect.
