Our Finishes
Super Matte
Super matte finishes temporarily absorb some water and may potentially stain with use of oil. Any substances absorbed may come out in the dishwasher, but we cannot guarantee these finishes will not hold stains. Their textures can range from smooth pebbles to hewn stone, and they reflect very little light. These finishes can be used on every inch of our pieces, even where they come in contact with the kiln shelf during firing. This means our matte finishes can offer you solid, complete coverage on any piece or pair nicely with a satin or high gloss surface finish.
Matte
Matte finishes temporarily absorb some water and oil, but anything absorbed into their surface comes out easily in the dishwasher or air dries quickly. Their textures are similar to smooth pebbles, with the exception of Rojo, and they reflect very little light. These finishes can be used on every inch of our pieces, even where they come in contact with the kiln shelf during firing. This means our matte finishes can offer you solid, complete coverage on any piece or pair nicely with a satin or high gloss surface finish. These finishes are perfect for everyday use for dining, serving, and decorating!
Satin
Satin finishes resist most water and oils. They have a sea-glass-like sheen that reflects some light and feels smooth to the touch. Due to their glassy properties, our satin finishes cannot be used on the bottoms of our wares where they come in contact with the kiln shelf during firing. This means our satin pieces provide a lovely contrast with a matte or super matte finish on their bottoms. These finishes are perfect for everyday use for dining, serving, and decorating!
High Gloss
High gloss finishes are fully oil and water resistant. They have a glass-like sheen that reflects light and feels slick to the touch. Due to their glassy properties, our high gloss finishes cannot be used on the bottoms of our wares where they come in contact with the kiln shelf during firing. This means our high gloss pieces provide a lovely contrast with a matte or super matte finish on their bottoms. These finishes are perfect for everyday use for dining, serving, and decorating!

White Sand is created using a white glaze all over our Sand finish, which is embedded with small, dense black speckles that give it visual texture and interest.

DENIM SHINO
Shino glazes originated in Japan during the 16th century. Shinos are beloved for their characteristic variations in color based on the thickness of their application. Where Denim Shino is applied thickly, it has a warm light blue color that we can't get enough of! Where the glaze is a bit thinner, it's browner in color, offering a rich and earthy visual texture that makes every Denim Shino piece entirely unique. Denim Shino is a high gloss finish.
Our finishes are created through the combination of one of our claybodies with one or more surface glazes. Several of our finishes are just the natural quality of the claybody by itself! Because of the numerous claybodies and glazes we use, our unique combinations of claybodies and glazes creates dozens of finishes in various textures and colors to suit your distinct style and preferences!
We frequently introduce new finishes and we are always open to trying new experimental combinations, so don't hesitate to inquire with us if there is something you'd like to see! All of our finishes will elevate your dining experience by making foods pop in contrast with their unique colors and textures.
Our finishes make our wares distinctive without compromising practicality. All of our finishes are food safe and dishwasher safe, regardless of whether they are matte, glossy, or somewhere in between - that way, using our wares for everyday life or special occasions is easy as can be!
Even on pieces with a matte finish, don't worry about food or oil absorbing into the surface, it all comes right out in the dishwasher. However, we do advise infrequent use of oil with our super matte finishes. The clay is fully vitrified but pieces with matte or super matte finishes will temporarily absorb water. Don’t stress, they'll quickly air dry!
