WEB SHOP

We are excited to offer our vessels for domestic or international sale, all pieces are designed, produced, and shipped out of our studio located in Somervile Massachusetts by designers Abigail & Eric Smallwood. Products available on the web shop are made to specific dimensions but may have slight variations piece to piece, in both proportion and glaze application due to their handmade nature. It is our intention that each piece purchased and shipped be the closest representation of the product photographed.

FINAL SALE ITEMS

Please note purchases of the following product types are considered FINAL SALE and returns or exchanges are not available:

All made to order products such as wedding registry items or MTO dinnerware, sale or discounted items, trade orders, custom orders, fundraiser products, giveaway items, wholesale products, second quality/sample sale items, all consumable food items, and candles.

Handmade and fragile products can be expensive to ship, we've found using the delivery methods above ensures that each piece will arrive to you in its original condition at a fair cost.

When Made to Order products are purchased with in-stock items, we will wait to ship all items together upon completion of MTO products. If you need your in-stock items shipped immediately, just let us know via email.

ORDER PICKUP

We offer Shop Pick-up for all online orders. We do this for a few reasons: to get your new Myrth to you quicker if you live locally, to meet our customers in person and share our studio with you, and to help reduce our environmental impact.

By selecting pick-up at check out you are requesting that your items be held at our shop in Somerville for your in-person collection at a later date. When your order is ready for pick-up you will receive a fulfillment email that includes visiting instructions.
