For Restaurants & HotelsBuilt for the Kitchen. Designed to Last.
We're product designers who make ceramics, with more than 40 combined years in the field, fifteen of them each designing for brands like New Balance, Bose, and OXO. That work taught us how to make things that perform under real pressure and hold up over time, and it's the same discipline we bring to porcelain.
Our glaze recipes are our own, designed from scratch in our studio in Providence, Rhode Island. The clay body is proprietary, refined through many rounds of our own iteration and testing for the demands of service. The result is tableware engineered for chip resistance through commercial dishwasher cycles, service after service. We service restaurants from 50 covers a night to 1,500 a day. Our pieces stay in rotation for years, not seasons.
Made in Providence, Rhode Island.
Everything is made in our studio, from the first sketch through the final firing. That means consistent quality across your full order, reliable reorder matching, and no import delays. It also means you're working directly with the people who make the work, which matters when questions come up mid-project.

Why Chefs Choose Myrth
What We Bring to the Table
Our porcelain is engineered to survive the demands of professional kitchens. It resists chipping and crazing, holds heat from pass to table, and runs clean through commercial dishwashers. We developed it over years of testing with the restaurants we work with.
The glazes are developed entirely in-house, which means you won't find our colors anywhere else, and your reorders will match. Our forms are proportioned to make plating easier and food look better, which is something chefs notice within the first week of service.
We're not a catalog brand. We're a small studio with real production capacity, consistent enough for a full restaurant program, close enough to the work to be flexible when a project calls for it.

Custom Work
We do a limited amount of custom work each year, and we're deliberate about which projects we take on.
Custom glaze is the more accessible path. We work from a library of several hundred tested colors to develop something that's entirely yours, with consistent reorder matching once it's locked in. This is available for projects meeting our standard order minimums, with a development fee per round.
Custom form is a different kind of collaboration. You bring the kitchen problem, we bring the design and production expertise to solve it. As product designers, we know how to listen past the aesthetic brief to understand what a piece actually needs to do, and then build something that does it well. We take on a handful of these a year. They work best when there's a specific problem to solve, a defined opening or menu date, and a run that fits inside 50 pieces. Tell us the dish and we'll pair the plate.
