'Ceramics, whether they be decorative, vases or tableware, have become the sign of a well-curated home over the last few years. Especially, if they’re handmade by an independent brand. 


Platforms like Instagram and build-your-own websites have encouraged creatives to share their work online and this has made it easier to have a unique piece in your home. I love the unfinished texture of a handmade ceramic piece, and the gradient in colour that comes from being one of a kind.'


Editor of Soho Home, Megan Murray, has kindly curated her top 4 choices for ceramics for your home. Carefully selected, each ceramic in this list has its own unique features, stories, and designs. If you are looking for ceramics to give as a gift or to accentuate your home, you are in the right place.

John Lewis & Partners Honey Vase 1

John Lewis & PartnersHoney Vase

£18.00

Blue Speckled Vase for Dried Flowers

John Lewis’ ANYDAY range is their most affordable yet and it’s perfect for kitting out your place if you don’t have the resources to collect pieces from independent brands. 


This small vase is crafted from earthenware and finished with a slight sheen thanks to its glaze. I like that part of the vase is soft and smooth, while the bottom is textured and bears the marks of its maker. It’s also a nice excuse to try the dried flower trend as this vase isn’t watertight.

Hot PotteryLiberty Lilac Jug

£45.00

Splatter Jug Inspired by Puglia’s Traditional Design

This pretty jug is a crowd-pleaser. The perfect size for supermarket blooms, you can plonk it in the middle of your table, on a dresser or perch it on a windowsill and it’ll just brighten the place right up. I love its delicate lilac colour but even more than that, I’m drawn to its splatter design which originated in Italy’s Puglia.


This piece has been handmade by an artisan who hails from that same town and whose family have been potters for 18 generations which is amazing. Everything from Hot Pottery benefits from a beautiful finish that just exudes quality and the colours are always spot on.

Hood Ceramics x Nicola MorlandJacqueline Stoneware Display Platter

£185.00

Clay Cakestand With Abstract Faces Design

If you thought that cake stands were always twee and kitsch, then this design-lead piece is about to change your mind. This utterly cool serving platter comes from Hood Ceramics, founded by Libby who lives and works in east London.


I love Libby’s minimalist style and that she manages to captivate attention without bright colours or a maximalist aesthetic. This piece has been completely handcrafted from biscuit clay and has a beautiful lasting glaze which gives it a tactile sheen. I would suggest serving treats on this platter, but honestly, I think it’s too beautiful.

ABS Objects Kandle 1

ABS ObjectsKandle

£80.00

Pastel Pink Candle Holder With a Unique Sculptural Shape

Pastel pink alongside soft yellow is one of my favourite colour combinations. It makes me think of sherbet lemons and fizzy sweets, which I love. I’ve had my eye on this sculptural candle holder for a while because of its interesting shape. 


While I usually love to over-clutter surfaces with trinkets, this piece could stand on its own and make a statement on a shelf or dresser. It has been handmade from stoneware and has a shiny glaze, which I think accentuates its colours. I’m also a fan of Tel Aviv-based brand ABS, not only because its pieces look great, but because they’re inspired by art history which is something I’d love to learn more about.
