For Restaurants & HotelsBuilt for the Kitchen. Designed to Last.
We're product designers who make ceramics. Before starting Myrth, we spent decades designing products for brands like New Balance and Bose, learning how to make things that perform under real pressure and hold up over time. That same discipline shapes everything we do here.
Our clay and glaze recipes are custom-formulated in our Rhode Island studio through years of iterative testing. The result is tableware that resists chipping and crazing through commercial dishwasher cycles, service after service. We work with restaurants doing 50 covers a night and partners running 1,500 on a busy summer evening. The pieces come back looking untouched.
Made in Providence, Rhode Island.
Everything is made in our East Providence 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: resists chipping and crazing, holds heat from pass to table, and runs clean through commercial dishwashers. These aren't claims we make from the studio — they come from years of real-kitchen 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. These projects are small by nature, capped at 50 pieces, which is what keeps the craft tight and the outcome right. If you think you have a project worth exploring, reach out and we'll tell you honestly whether it's a fit.

How It Works
1 Request Samples
We'll ship a selection to your restaurant so you can feel the weight, see the glazes in your light, and put them through your kitchen before committing to anything.
2 Tell Us About Your Project
Order size, timeline, glaze direction, anything custom you're thinking about. We'll come back with a quote and honest feedback on what will work.
3 Visit the Studio
Want to see how we make our tableware? You're welcome to come to our East Providence studio in person, or we can do a Zoom walkthrough. Especially useful if you're exploring custom work.
4 We Make It
Production runs 2 to 8 weeks depending on order size. Custom glaze development adds time, and we'll be upfront about that from the start. You'll have a direct line to us throughout.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Twelve pieces per item type for standard orders, with no minimum total order value for standard colors. Custom glaze work has a $5,000 minimum and a development fee. If you're not sure what you need, start with samples and we'll help you size it from there.
-
Lead times range from 2 to 8 weeks depending on order size and whether items are in current production. Smaller orders of 100 to 200 pieces can move quickly, sometimes within two weeks. Larger programs of 500 pieces or more typically run 6 to 8 weeks.
Custom glaze development adds time on top of production, and we'll give you a realistic timeline before you commit.
If you have a hard opening date, tell us early and we'll work backward from there.
