Who makes it?

Every piece is made by Sammy and her team Fauve, Claudia and Mark that have a  serious love of porcelain. (Also: yes, those famous watermelon bowls are hers!)

Where is it made?

Handmade in Australia. Sam established her studio in Sydney in 2000 in Bondi Beach  and today creates from the Northern Rivers/Hinterland a place that inspires her nature-rich palettes and prints

How do I get it home?

We pack it safely, snugly, and sustainably and ship it straight to your door so it arrives ready for its first cup of tea, sashimi, salad—or that perfect empty-shelf moment. 

What makes it special?

• Signature designs: From luminous watermelon bowls to painterly florals and translucent glazes, every piece is unique—no two are alike. 

• Loved by chefs: Sam’s tableware has been used by notable chefs and restaurants The Quay, Longrain , The bathers Pavillion , the ovelo hotels and so many more. Kylie Kwong and Jamie Oliver  have used her pieces because it performs beautifully and photographs like a dream. 

• Made to be used every day: Lightweight, strong, and designed for joy at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and everything in between.

How it’s made (the short, satisfying version)

1. We start with translucent porcelain.

2. Forms are wheel-thrown, slab-built, hand-built, or slip-cast.

3. Pieces are trimmed, sponged, and dried—then into the kiln for the first firing at ~1000°C (about 13 hours up, 9 hours down).

4. Surfaces are hand-printed/painted or Custom glazedBack into the kiln for the glaze firing at ~1300°C (another long, hot journey).

5. The kiln door opens to shiny, happy freshly baked pots

6. You pick your piece and make it part of your everyday ritual. The cycle is complete enjoy.

Care & use

Porcelain loves gentle handling and everyday use. Hand-washing will keep pieces pristine longest; avoid sudden thermal shock (don’t go freezer → boiling water). Chef-approved doesn’t mean indestructible treat it like the small artwork it is.
