We grew up eating all our meals on Heath Ceramics not knowing what a true visionary and amazing designer Edith Heath truly was. Our mom picked up the line during a visit to Sausalito, CA in 1973. So not only do we appreciate the fabulous designs of her ceramics, these have a nostalgic aspect for us as well.

Fortunately we live very close to their ceramic studio where everything is still hand-crafted in the same manner since 1948. The designs and color palette of Heath Ceramics are still relevant today and will never go out of style. Here is a bit on Edith Heath from their website:

Edith Heath (1911-2005) founded Heath Ceramics in the mid-forties when, following her one-woman show at San Francisco’s Palace of the Legion of Honor, her pieces were picked up for sale at Gump’s of San Francisco. For the past half-century, Edith’s life was dedicated to the craft of ceramics and the skill of the artisan. This passion, along with the legacy of her work in stoneware clay body and glaze development, gives Heath its unique place in ceramics today. As a result of Edith’s timeless and unique design sense - many of her pieces live in the permanent collections of museums such as the MOMA in New York City.

If you live in the SF Bay area, Heath Ceramics is having an Open Studio/Silent Auction on May 3-4. Everything in their factory store will be 15% off!!! This is a great opportunity to find some classic kitchen ware for your modern home.
