Ash Glazed Tea Set

Jonathan Wade’s tea set makes a ritual of tea drinking. It comprises a small teapot, a tray and two small cups in an exclusive ash glaze. Each piece has a beautifully bumpy texture – the result of firing at a high temperature at which the clay’s surface bubbles and crackles.

On his travels to Minnesota, Jonathan Wade felt connected to the folk art pottery reinterpretations of Japanese Mingei. Wheel-thrown into simple, hand-built forms, his low-impact, utilitarian tableware celebrate the impurities and irregularities of wild clay and wood ash glazes — which the founder personally collects himself. Every unique piece is designed to honour the rituals of cooking and eating.
