Heads up: The 2023 Restaurant Guide is officially out of print, but there is a 2024 edition available now and we also made a digital guide for quick reference.
We’ve always said that our client list doubles up as a guide to America’s best restaurants, so we put together this Zagat-sized printed book to make finding your next dinner (or lunch or brunch) reservation that much easier. Snag a copy for yourself or add it to a gift purchase so that the recipient gets a little more of the story behind our company and why we’ve become the go-to dinnerware brand for so many professional chefs and ambitious home cooks.
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.
