Guide to gifting Contemporary Ceramics

Discover new pieces from well known artists

Shop by maker

If you already have a maker in mind, you’re half way there! Each of our makers have a unique and recognisable style, which makes their pieces perfect for a one-of-a-kind gift to treasure.

Use ‘shop by maker’ or visit the maker’s profile to see which pieces we have available. Alternatively, you can visit our online shop and filter by maker name. By visiting the maker profile you’re able to find out more about the artist, their background, and how their pieces are made. Knowing the story behind a handcrafted gift is sure to make someone feel extra special, so we recommend visiting their page!
