When it comes to setting the table, you likely first came to us for plates and bowls and platters. But for just as long as we've made those food-serving staples for some of the world's best restaurants, we've created vases for them, too.
Sometimes it's a small, unassuming bud vase and other times it's an oversize shape that holds branches that light up a corner of the room. All to say: We're passionate about how a vase can transform a room, or a dinner (or brunch!), too. So, we're really excited to expand our collection with a shape we're calling The Weekend Vase.
3.75" W (at widest point) x 7" H
The Weekend Vase you know and love with a unique, silvery reduction-fired glaze treatment.
What’s reduction firing? Here’s how Jono explains it:
“We wait until a particular point in the firing, around 2000°, and at that point, we increase the gas which creates an oxygen-hungry environment inside the kiln. That oxygen-hungry atmosphere takes oxygen from the metallic oxides in our clay, which makes them look really shiny and metallic and interesting.”
The Reduction-Fired Weekend Vase 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 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 canāt, resulting in dinnerware with a personal feel that sets our clientsā 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.
