Handmade Ceramics from Mud Studio in South Africa

Over the past year I acquired several ceramic pieces of servingware that I really treasure. They're fluid, organic, and unique. Well, I just realized that they were made by the same artisans: Mud Studio, in South Africa. Here's a look at few more of Mud Studio's organic, handmade pieces.

 
 

Mud Studio is a small company in South Africa (and is not to be confused with Mud Australia, which is another ceramics company we like very much). They create handmade ceramics for the table, kitchen, garden, and home, including some spectacular chandeliers made of hand-rolled ceramic beads.

In the United States, their pieces are primarily found at Anthropologie stores. The juicer pictured above is one distinctive design you might remember from recent Anthropologie collections! Right now, though, we can't find any of their pieces online; they tend to just be in the street stores' collections.

I especially love my lasagna dish, which is heavy and sturdy, and decorated with an interesting motif. It can go in the oven, so it's a true deep-dish lasagna pan!

I really Like the floor or the table that it is sitting on can you put a bigger picture of that?

Ha - it's indeed my (very dusty) floor - the only place that gets reasonable light in the late afternoon. Glad you like! :-)

As a potter I very much appreciate these ceramic pieces. I particularly like the nesting bowls, which are organic yet precise at the same time.

Nice! A South African feature.

Finally something here I can actually source without paying a ton for shipping! They're less than 2 hours away from me!
