Sustainability
All of our pieces are made from a composite of locally-sourced raw materials and recycled clay. 100% OF CLAY SHAVINGS AND BISCUIT are reincorporated back into production.
Our unique eco-glaze, STONE, is made from 100% RECYCLED MATERIALS. While some waste in production of glaze is inevitable, we collect, treat, and transform this waste into something entirely new.
Committed to becoming zero-waste, we reduce, reuse, and recycle as much as we can. A proud member of The Green Organisation, 100% OF THE WATER used in our manufacturing process is recovered and treated for reuse.

Moon
by Aaron Kearney:
“People don’t always eat with a knife and fork. Sometimes, just a fork is needed. The straight edge of the dish allows you to press food against it should you need to.”

Care and Handling
Vitrified stoneware requires proper care and handling to retain its original beauty and value throughout its service life.
1. FIRST USE
• Before first use, wash dinnerware in hot water using mild detergent. Rinse and dry before storing (see below for detailed drying instructions).
2. HANDLING
• Use a tray when bussing tables (rather than a tub) to avoid irregular stacking of products that can cause chipping and scratches.
• After clearing tables, immediately remove food remnants from ceramics with a soft dish cloth or sponge.
• Avoid using abrasive materials (steel wool, metal scrapers, scouring pads) to remove debris.
• For removing superficial metal markings on matte ceramics we recommend using a Tawashi natural palm fiber scrubber and scouring powder.
3. PRE-SOAKING
• Soak in 140–160ºF water with chlorine-free, acid-free, non-abrasive detergent for 10–20 minutes.
4. WASHING
• Wash as soon as possible, using a peg rack to maximize water contact with dishware.
• Utilize appropriately sized cup racks to reduce unnecessary impacts.
• Ceramics are safe for both high and low temperature commercial dish machines unless otherwise noted.
5. DRYING (AFTERWASH)
• After removing stoneware items from the dishwasher, avoid stacking them in a dish dolly. Over-stacking freshly washed, hot items coupled with unnecessary knocking together may cause chipping.
• Allow the product to cool down naturally to room temperature. Do not place items under heat lamps, Putting a hot stoneware plate under a heat lamp puts too much stress on the ware in the heating and cooling process, making it more susceptible to impact faults.
• Remove residual water on the surface by drying with a soft cloth or towel.
6. BEST PRACTICES
• Implement a 3-par strategy where one is in service, one is being washed, and one is resting/cooling.
• After washing, allow ware to dry fully before putting back into rotation. 1x fired vitrified stoneware is more porous than porcelain or bone china, for instance, and will retain and keep heat. Allowing proper a cooling period helps maintain stoneware’s structural integrity.
• Avoid stacking plates more than 8 high and bowls more than 4 high. Avoid stacking mugs in racks.
• To avoid chipping along the rim, do not use plate covers on hot plateware.
• Do not microwave or heat over 400ºF.
• Wash in a dish machine for best cleaning results.
• Soak in a 10% oxygenated bleach/water solution for 8–24 hours to remove stains.
• Consult your chemical supplier to ensure use of recommended products for best results with your dishwasher and water conditions.
