WHERE ARE By The Earth Living PRODUCTS DESIGNED, AND CREATED?

This results in the product being crafted by multiple skilled hands working together, ensuring a high-quality end product that we are proud of.

What Products Go Best With My Kitchen Style?

 

Here are some tips for selecting ceramics dishes that will work well with different kitchen styles:

Modern/Minimalist: For a modern or minimalist kitchen, look for ceramics dishes that are sleek and simple in design. Choose dishes in solid colors or with subtle patterns that won't overpower the space.

Rustic/Farmhouse: If you have a rustic or farmhouse-style kitchen, consider ceramics dishes with a handmade feel. Look for dishes with earthy colors, textured finishes, and organic shapes that will complement the natural elements in your kitchen.

Traditional/Eclectic: For a more traditional or eclectic kitchen, you have more freedom to mix and match different ceramics styles. Consider pairing classic white or cream-colored dishes with colorful or patterned pieces to create a unique and personalized look.

DO YOUR CERAMICS SCRATCH EASILY?

 

Although semi-matte ceramics may be vulnerable to surface marks caused by flatware, such marks can be easily removed with the help of a good scrubber and scouring compound. If you come across marks on your ceramics, you can make a paste with a scouring powder or even with lemon juice and baking soda. After applying the paste, give the surface of your ceramics a thorough scrub for a few seconds, then rinse with soap and water. With these steps, your dishes can look as good as new!

 

WHY DO SOME CERAMICS HAVE SUBTLE FLECKS IN THEM?

 

By The Earth Living's ceramics are crafted from stoneware, which possesses distinctive qualities. The clay used in the making of these ceramics contains natural flecks that may occasionally rise to the surface during the firing process. This can be especially visible in lighter glazes such as Classic White and our Pestel Colors. However, rather than considering these variations as imperfections, we celebrate them as they are what makes each piece of our hand-finished ceramics unique and one-of-a-kind.
