The Studio

We're product designers who make ceramics. Everything is designed and made in our studio: proprietary clay, proprietary glazes, no outside production

The Collection

Nineteen forms across plates, bowls, platters, vessels, and vases, all available in 15 glazes. Custom glaze and form development available for qualifying projects.

Working With Us

All trade orders are made to order. Lead times run 2 to 8 weeks depending on order size. Samples available for active projects.

Plates

Three sizes of roller-jiggered flatware, Dinner, Appetizer, and Morsel, plus the slip-cast Ramekin, each made to order in our studio.

  • Handcrafted porcelain dinner plate, 10 inch, shown in Moonlight glaze — Myrth Ceramics

    DINNER PLATE

    The foundation of a place setting, proportioned with a broad well and a defined rim that gives plating room to breathe.
    Specs: 10" × 0.75"

  • Handcrafted porcelain appetizer plate, 8 inch, shown in Moonlight glaze — Myrth Ceramics

    APPETIZER PLATE

    Sized for a first course or a shared element, with the same profile as the Dinner Plate so mixed settings read as intentional.
    Specs: 8" × 0.75"

  • Handcrafted porcelain morsel plate, 6 inch, shown in Moonlight glaze — Myrth Ceramics

    MORSEL PLATE

    For composed bites, a sauce, or a single shared element. The piece that makes a small thing feel considered.
    Specs: 6" × 0.75"

  • Slip-cast porcelain ramekin with handmade variation, shown in use with olive oil dipping sauce — Myrth Ceramics

    RAMEKIN

    Slip-cast and hand-finished, made for sides, sauces, and mise en place. The character of the piece comes through up close.
    Specs: 3" × 0.75

Bowls

Five bowls designed to work together, from a 12-ounce tasting portion to a 64-ounce centerpiece. Four are roller-jiggered and the Moon Bowl is slip-cast, all made in our studio.

  • Handcrafted porcelain tasting bowl, 6 inch, 12 fluid ounce, shown in Dove glaze — Myrth Ceramics

    TASTING BOWL

    A 12-ounce bowl with a defined well and upright walls, good for broths, composed sides, and single-portion desserts where you want the food contained and the rim clean.
    Specs: 6" × 2" / 12 fl oz

  • Handcrafted porcelain helping bowl, 8 inch, 32 fluid ounce, shown in Dove glaze — Myrth Ceramics

    HELPING BOWL

    At 32 ounces, this is the shared-dish bowl for ramen, pho, large protein-and-grain builds. The flat center gives you a plating surface for proteins; walls are tall enough to pool sauce without losing it. Works for single portions where volume is part of the presentation.
    Specs: 8" × 2.75" / 32 fl oz

  • Handcrafted porcelain Basso bowl, 9 inch, 24 fluid ounce, shown in Dove glaze — Myrth Ceramics

    BASSO BOWL

    The workhorse. Wide, shallow, with a generous flat center that gives you real plating surface. Proteins sit flat, sauces pool at the edges rather than underneath. At 24 ounces it's right for pasta, risotto, composed entrées, anything where the food needs room to be arranged rather than just placed.
    Specs: 9" × 2" / 24 fl oz

  • Handcrafted porcelain Feast bowl, 10 inch, 64 fluid ounce, shown in Dove glaze — Myrth Ceramics

    FEAST BOWL

    64 ounces with a broad flat base, built for family-style service, larder presentation, or anything going center-table. The scale makes it a statement; the flat interior keeps it functional for composed arrangements rather than just bulk.
    Specs: 10" × 3" / 64 fl oz

  • Slip-cast fluted porcelain Moon Bowl in Canyon, Moonlight, and Rosewood glazes on terrazzo surface — Myrth Ceramics

    Moon Bowl

    Slip-cast from our Moon Vase mold, so it carries the same exterior fluting. The interior has a tight 2.5-inch flat center that flares outward in a soft curve, good for dishes where you want the food to stay put and the plate to do the framing. Available in a taller version on request.
    Specs: 7"D × 2"H / capacity varies by req.

Platters

Two oval platters, slip-cast in our studio, designed to carry our bowls for two-part dishes and strong enough to anchor a shared course on their own.

  • Handcrafted porcelain oval platter, 12 inch, shown in Dove glaze — Myrth Ceramics

    12" OVAL PLATTER

    The right size for a stand-out plated main: fish fillets, small proteins, a composed entrée that needs a defined edge. Also works as a base for the Tasting Bowl in two-part service.
    Specs: 12" × 8" × 1"H

  • Handcrafted porcelain oval platter, 16 inch, shown in Canyon glaze — Myrth Ceramics

    16" OVAL PLATTER

    A statement piece, built for whole fish, half a chicken, or a centerpiece presentation where scale is part of the dish. Low rim keeps the focus on the food.
    Specs: 16" × 10.5" × 1.25"H

Vessels

Cups, pours, and vases designed as part of the full table, available to trade clients in all 15 glazes.

  • Handcrafted porcelain Swig Cup, 3 inch, 8 fluid ounce, shown in Moonlight glaze — Myrth Ceramics

    SWIG CUP

    An 8-ounce handleless cup, right for espresso service, small pours, or anything where a traditional mug feels too casual for the table.
    Specs: 3" × 3" / 8 fl oz

  • Handcrafted porcelain Swig Pour, 3 inch, 8 fluid ounce, shown in Dove glaze — Myrth Ceramics

    SWIG POUR

    The pouring companion to the Swig Cup, same form with a spout. For cream, broth, sauces, or any tableside pour where the vessel is part of the presentation.
    Specs: 3" × 3" / 8 fl oz

  • Handcrafted porcelain Sake Cup, 2.5 inch, 2 fluid ounce, shown in Moonlight glaze — Myrth Ceramics

    SAKE CUP

    A 2-ounce cup for sake, spirits, or a small amuse bouche liquid. Low and open, it sits naturally on a platter or alongside a composed plate. Also available in a 1.5-ounce version for sauce service.
    Specs: 2.5" × 1.5" / 2 fl oz. Sauce Cup: 1.5 fl oz

  • Handcrafted porcelain Sake Pour, 2.5 inch, 2 fluid ounce, shown in Moonlight glaze — Myrth Ceramics

    SAKE POUR

    The pouring companion to the Sake Cup, for tableside sauce service or any small-format pour where the vessel should disappear into the experience.
    Specs: 2.5" × 1.5" / 2 fl oz

  • Handcrafted porcelain carafe shown in Moonlight glaze, Myrth Ceramics

    CARAFE

    For water, wine, or house spirits. A table presence that holds its own without competing with the food.
    Specs: 6.5" × 4" / mouth 3" / 30 fl oz

  • Handcrafted porcelain Pilar vase, 7 inch tall, shown in Moonlight glaze — Myrth Ceramics

    PILAR VASE

    A tall, narrow-mouth vase for single stems or spare arrangements. Grounded enough to sit on a set table without tipping, restrained enough not to compete with it.
    Specs: 7" × 4" / mouth 1.75"

  • Handcrafted porcelain Moon vase, 8 inch, shown in Dove glaze — Myrth Ceramics

    MOON VASE

    A spherical vase with a small mouth, for tight, sculptural arrangements or a single dramatic stem. As much an object as a vessel, and it works on a table or a shelf.
    Specs: 8" × 8" / mouth 3.25"

Materials + Specs

Clay + Glaze • Proprietary porcelain clay body, custom-formulated and refined in our studio. Fully vitrified for restaurant-grade chip and crack resistance. All glazes developed in-house from scratch. We never use lead or cadmium. 15 glazes available across all products.

Foot • Unglazed, smooth porcelain. All pieces are unglazed on the base.

Microwave + Dishwasher • Safe. Performs through commercial dishwasher cycles.

Oven • Place in a cold oven and heat gradually with it. Avoid moving directly from refrigerator to hot oven or from hot oven to a cold surface.

Stackable • Plates nest and stack. Bowls nest. Vessels vary — ask us.

Care • Metal marks on matte glazes are common across all ceramics and are a function of the silverware, not the glaze. Lower-quality stamped flatware marks more than 18/10. All marks are fine and removable with Bon Ami and a green Scotch-Brite pad.

Reorders • Proprietary recipes mean reorders match your original order. Color and surface consistency guaranteed across production runs.

Lead Time • 2 to 8 weeks, made to order. Custom glaze development adds time.

Weight + Additional Specs • Available on request. Samples available for active projects. Contact trade@myrth.us.

Custom

We do a limited amount of custom work each year, available to restaurants and hotels with projects that call for something we don't already make.

  • Hundreds of tested glaze tile samples in the Myrth Ceramics studio, East Providence Rhode Island

    CUSTOM GLAZE

    We develop custom glaze colors from a library of several hundred tested formulas. You bring the direction, your interior, a reference material, a feeling, and we work through rounds of development until the color is right. Once it's locked, reorders are consistent indefinitely. Available for projects meeting standard order minimums. Development fee applies per round.

  • Hand-thrown custom ceramic vessels made in small batches at Myrth Ceramics studio

    CUSTOM FORM

    For kitchens that need a shape we don't make. A specific diameter for a signature dish, a depth built around how a sauce behaves, a form that solves a real kitchen problem. You bring the brief, we bring the design and production expertise. Hand-thrown in small batches, capped at around 50 pieces.

In Practice

Recent projects include a 9-inch dinner plate developed for Baked Alaska service at Oleana in Cambridge, and a ramen bowl built around specific depth and diameter requirements for Pickerel in Providence.

Glaze Palette

Every Myrth glaze is developed from scratch in our studio: raw materials, micro-batch testing, dozens of firing cycles before a color makes it into the collection. The result is a palette with genuine depth and surface quality that holds up in professional kitchens and reads beautifully under dining room light.

Hospitality clients have access to our complete glaze offering. Six Core Colors run across our full retail line, and nine glazes are developed exclusively for trade. All 15 are standard on every trade order, in any product.

Core Colors

Available to Retail + Trade

  • Moonlight | Warm, Satin Off-White Glaze | Myrth Ceramics

    MOONLIGHT

    Warm off-white with a satin matte finish. Absorbs light softly rather than reflecting it. The most versatile neutral in the collection, present on a table without competing with food or other glazes.

  • Verdigris | Dappled Blue-Green Glaze | Myrth Ceramics

    VERDIGRIS

    Blue-green with a dappled gloss patina texture that shifts with light, cooler in daylight, warmer under incandescent. Up close the surface has a geological depth, like aged copper. Our most visually complex glaze in person.

  • Nightfall | Deep & Dappled Navy Blue Glaze | Myrth Ceramics by Myrth

    NIGHTFALL

    Deep navy over a satin base with a dappled gloss speckle, small areas of higher gloss that catch light differently from the surrounding surface. Near-black in low light, distinctly blue in natural. Grounding on a table, striking up close.

  • Dove | Warm Grey Glaze | Myrth Ceramics

    DOVE

    Warm grey with subtle lavender undertones and a satin matte finish. Reads as neutral in most light but adds something you can't quite name. Works equally well alongside the warm glazes and the cool ones.

  • Canyon | Warm Terracotta With Sandy Speckle | Myrth Ceramics

    CANYON

    Warm terracotta with a fine umber speckle across a satin matte surface. The speckle varies naturally from piece to piece, so a mixed table of Canyon reads as alive rather than uniform. Earthy in natural light, picks up red warmth under incandescent.

  • Rosewood | Warm Cocoa Brown | Myrth Ceramics

    ROSEWOOD

    Warm cocoa brown with red undertones and a textured soft gloss finish. Where the glaze thins at the rim it breaks to a thin copper-rose line. Velvety in low light, warmly luminous in natural light.

Trade Glazes

Developed for hospitality

  • Roux | Pale Warm Cream Satin Glaze | Myrth Ceramics

    ROUX

    Pale warm cream with a satin matte finish and a fine speckle barely visible at distance. Warmer than Moonlight, with a slight golden undertone that reads as ivory in natural light. The color of a blonde roux just off the heat. Unpretentious and highly versatile.

  • Brine | Pale Blue-Grey Satin Glaze | Myrth Ceramics

    BRINE

    Pale blue-grey with a soft satin matte finish. The palest and coolest glaze in the collection, with just enough blue to distinguish it from grey. Reads almost silver in low light. A strong canvas for delicate plating.

  • Char | Deep Charcoal Matte Glaze | Myrth Ceramics

    CHAR

    Deep charcoal with a dense matte finish and fine surface texture throughout. Nearly black in most light with neutral undertones that keep it from reading as either warm or cool. The glaze chefs ask for when black is too much, close to it but with more presence on a table.

  • Miso | Warm Amber-Tan Satin Glaze | Myrth Ceramics

    MISO

    Warm amber-tan with a soft speckle and a satin finish that develops subtle depth up close. The color of a well-developed shiro miso, that particular golden beige with warmth underneath. Sits naturally alongside earthy and neutral glazes without pulling attention.

  • Ume | Pale Chartreuse Satin Glaze | Myrth Ceramics

    UME

    Luminous pale chartreuse with a smooth satin finish. Named for the Japanese ume plum, this is the color of the unripened fruit, the yellow side of green, before it blushes peach. Bright without being sharp, it lifts a table setting and makes the colors around it read more vividly.

  • Agave | Cool Grey-Green Satin Glaze | Myrth Ceramics

    AGAVE

    Cool grey-green with a smooth satin matte finish. The color of an agave plant in full sun, muted and dusty with just enough blue to keep it from reading as pure green. Quiet and composed on a table, pairs naturally with the warm glazes without competing.

  • Shallot | Dusty Rose-Brown Satin Glaze | Myrth Ceramics

    SHALLOT

    Dusty rose-brown with a soft leathered texture that gives depth as light passes across the surface. Named for the shallot, the quieter one in the onion family, and close to the color of its papery skin. Cooler and dustier than Rosewood, with less red in it. The glaze that surprises people most up close.

  • Brandywine | Dusty Rose-Red Satin Glaze | Myrth Ceramics

    BRANDYWINE

    Dusty rose-red with a fine speckle across a satin matte surface. Warm but not orange, deeper than blush, closer to the skin of a Brandywine tomato at peak ripeness. The speckle gives it texture and life at close range. One of the most food-forward glazes in the collection.

  • Mole | Dark Neutral Brown Dappled Glaze | Myrth Ceramics

    MOLE

    Dark neutral brown with a dappled surface that shifts between matte and a soft luster depending on the light and angle. Dark enough to anchor a table without reading as black. The most texturally complex glaze in the collection.
