Our Materials
Every Myrth piece begins with our proprietary clay body, developed through rigorous in-house formulation. Our custom porcelain recipe delivers restaurant-grade durability against chipping and cracking, along with superior heat retention to keep food perfectly warm. We wear-test every clay recipe to ensure lasting durability—using pieces in our own home and giving dishes to restaurants to prove their performance in real kitchens.
Our glazes are created from scratch, starting with base recipes we've developed in-house, then tinkering with color and surface finish. This process takes countless micro-batches and innumerable firing tests to produce the results we're after. We continually retest our core glazes to ensure consistency and a refined finish. Due to this customization, Myrth glazes are truly unique to our studio.
To create both our clay and glazes we use a range of standard ceramic minerals and clays. Our recipes do not contain toxic ingredients such as lead or cadmium—which you don't want in your dishes, and we don't want to handle in the studio.
Myrth glazes have been carefully designed to be timeless shades that complement your space for many years. Our color palette evolves slowly, with core colors running for roughly two years so you have time to mindfully build your collection. Occasionally, materials shortages may reduce a glaze's run. Seasonal colors are also available on a rolling basis.
Designed for the demands of hospitality, all our ceramics are dishwasher and microwave-safe. Our glazes are engineered for everyday use and built to last. Over time, marks left by silverware may form on the glaze surface. These marks can be removed by buffing with powdered cleansers like Bon Ami on a damp sponge or Scotch-Brite pad.

Current Glazes
-

MOONLIGHT
A warm, sophisticated off-white with a satin matte finish that absorbs light softly rather than reflecting it. Understated enough to work with everything — lets food and other glazes take the foreground. The most versatile neutral in our palette.
-

VERDIGRIS
Blue-green with a dappled gloss patina texture that shifts significantly with light — cooler in daylight, warmer under incandescent. Up close the surface has an almost geological depth, like natural patina on aged copper. Our most complex glaze to photograph and most visually interesting in person.
-

NIGHTFALL
Deep navy with a dappled gloss speckle over a satin base — small areas of higher gloss that catch light differently from the surrounding surface, like a night sky. Dark enough to read as near-black in low light, distinctly blue in natural light. Striking up close; grounding on a table.
-

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 to a table. Works equally well with the warm glazes (Rosewood, Canyon) and the cool ones (Verdigris, Nightfall). The glaze that makes everything else look better.
-

CANYON
Warm terracotta with a fine umber speckle distributed across a satin matte surface. The speckle pattern varies naturally from piece to piece — a mixed table of Canyon pieces feels alive rather than uniform. Earthy in natural light, picks up more red warmth under incandescent.
-

ROSEWOOD
Warm cocoa brown with red undertones and a textured soft gloss finish. The defining detail is a soft leathered texture that gives depth and softness as light passes over the surface. Velvety in low light, warmly luminous in natural light. The glaze that surprises people most up close.
