Our friends at the Kingston, NY-based company Keap asked us to create a ceramic vessel for one of their hand-poured, coconut wax candles — specifically their “Wood Cabin” scent, which will transport you straight to a cozy spot in the Catskills, thanks to notes of juniper, cedar, nutmeg, guaiac wood (think: palo santo), and pine.
Once the candle has fully burned down, just stick it in the freezer for a bit, then use a blunt knife to pop out any remaining chunks of wax. After that, your dishwasher- and microwave-safe tumbler can live on as a coffee cup, pencil holder, or nightstand catch-all. Just a few ideas!
The Keap Candle is part of The 2024 Gift Guide, a capsule collection of limited-run pieces, many of which feature exclusive glazes or other get-them-while-you-can customizations. The collection was photographed by Liz Clayman in the space of our client Kin Gin, a modern izakaya on New York City's Lower East Side that serves vibrant small plates and a gin & tonic menu that is as formidable as it is imaginative.
Our first Keap Candle x JPD collab was released in 2022. This clay & glaze combination is now apart of our Special Edition Archive.

HANDMADE IN THE USA
Inside the Studio
Our dinnerware is hand-made at a light-filled studio in Union City, New Jersey, by a team of 16 artisans. The studio is also where we quality check and pack up dozens of orders per day, which are then sent out to restaurants like Lilia, Jean-Georges, and Felix Trattoria and to serious home cooks all over the country.
Our Story
When Jono started the company in 2004, he had a simple mission: to design unique dinnerware options for the hospitality industry. He started small, with one wheel and one kiln, and collaborated with chefs, taking risks and learning from his mistakes. Then and now, his priority is to work directly with our clients, responding quickly and thoughtfully to their needs in ways that larger manufacturers can’t, resulting in dinnerware with a personal feel that sets our clients’ restaurants and dining rooms apart.
Our Process
Each piece that Jono has designed has its own unique production process, which can entail as many as 15 individual steps, and use methods such as slip casting, jiggering, and good old-fashioned wheel throwing. Our studio is equipped with 10 kilns and 6 wheels and we begin each day with the thrill of opening our Blaauw kiln to discover the finished pieces we loaded in the night before.
