DESIGNED & HANDCRAFTED IN OUR POTTERY STUDIO

All of our dinnerware is handmade by a small team of potters in our studio in London. We design, create, fire and pack everything here and every piece has been touched many times before it reaches your restaurant or your home.

Starting from raw clay we use our hands, patience, experience and knowledge to create dinnerware that is beautiful, durable and will last in time.

Restaurant Inquiry

We began crafting plates as functional products, and now Sofia Ceramics proudly supplies numerous restaurants and hotels worldwide. The challenges and needs of bustling kitchens have greatly influenced our design process. We’ve collaborated with award-winning restaurants, chefs, and hotels to create custom plates or provide items from our existing collection.

Darling! One of our most popular bowls is the 19cm coupe open bowl or what we call the Darling bowl! Available only for restaurants and during our open studio sale 😉

Our newest addition of glazes. A chocolatey matte brown with a satin smooth finish. Food really pops on this glaze!

We might have only 3 clays on our website and to be honest these are the basic ones that we get by the tone. But we also have another 6 or 7 more types of clay that we use depending on the project at hand. Not all of them are for throwing or jiggering and a few of them are just for hand building and working on hump moulds.
Here is one of rougher clays that contains small black stones, these are the speckles that you see.
The beautiful photo is from @ottolenghi_geneva

Quite an interesting result don’t you think.
Fluted carving. Almost all of our shapes and forms can be carved and decorated and our restaurant clients are creating some beautiful combinations!
This one is heading to @kinhousewiltshire next week!

We just love it when we see many of our forms served together. Coupe, square sided and rim collection all in one photo! Find them served with delicious food @ottolenghi_geneva!

Is it the season to start having ice cream? One would argue that it is always the season for ice cream but these past couple of weeks have been really summery! Fingers crossed 🤞that the weather will stay nice and we can enjoy some bbq next week… we got the perfect ovals for that occasion 😎

It wouldn’t be Sofia Ceramics without Sofia! She might be the only woman (for now) at Sofia Ceramics but she is the one with her name on the door!

Part of the morning routine.
Every morning we open our kiln that has bisque fired dinnerware. These are pieces that have been through the first firing to make them hard and porous so we can then glaze them.
Before we apply glaze we check each one of them for any imperfections that would affect them during the glaze firing and we lightly sand them if needed. We then wash them, stamp them and finally the glazing process can begin.
This just one of the many steps that it takes for our dinnerware to be made.

Our rim shallow bowl has become a very popular item, so popular that we are thinking of introducing it to our website collection.
What do you think? What would you use it for?

Our dinnerware is handmade! There are so many steps and factors that we take into consideration when making our dinnerware and one item will always have a difference from the other. We have put in place guides and we measure things to be as consistent as possible, but our items are still handmade and there are things that you just can’t control, we are not machines, but we use equipment to make production easier and cost effective.
The beauty of the handmade is that you get something unique something that an individual has spent hours creating and years mastering the techniques needed and chosen.
We are trying to communicate as much possible that our dinnerware is handmade and the differences between each item to the next one is the reason that you are choosing to buy handmade. This and the fact that you like the colour the shape and the durability.
In this photo you can see Sofia’s hands wedging clay. Although we have 2 pugmills to help us with this difficult and exhausting process, sometimes you need to feel the clay and understand the material, something that a machine can’t offer.
Keep buying handmade and items that will last for long and you will love. Thank you to all of you that support us and all the potters out there!
