Show off your cuisine with artisanal ceramics

This year has seen a creative boom in our kitchens as we’ve sought to break free of weekly repertoires. But what of the presentation? As a trip to any hotly touted dining destination will confirm, handmade tableware brings something extra to tabletops; nuances of texture, colour and form that create an air of ceremony. Happily, artisanal ceramics have never been so abundant or affordable; think of them as canvases to show off your creations. The punchy glaze and rustic feel of Kana London’s collaboration with Earl of East makes an ideal backdrop for hearty stews and pasta. Meanwhile, Finnish designer Samuli Helavuo’s ‘Solu’ platters lend themselves to sharing plates or brunch. Finally, New York architectural practice BoND and Tel Aviv-based Studio Davka have teamed up to create ‘The Mill Hill Set’, a richly textured range perfect for desserts.
