This pottery is out of stock, but we plan to make more soon.

It's the if-you-had-just-one-bowl-it'd-be-this-one bowl. Our co-founder Connie Matisse swears that when she sends her kids off to college, in their dorm rooms will be one Everyday Bowl and The Mug. That's it. Bases covered, from cereal to Top Ramen.

— Over time, your pots might accumulate mild cutlery marks. These can be buffed off with warm water and scouring powder such as Bar Keeper's Friend. More information.

Low, open and gently curved, our Shallow Bowls were designed to strike the right balance between openness and containment. They’re versatile forms that many East Fork collectors say are the forms they reach for most.

The broad base makes these bowls particularly hard to tip. It’s one reason we like the Breakfast Bowl for little kids and pets—whether they’re eating at the table or on the floor.

Add some extra color to your grain bowl. Arrange fruit into your yogurt and granola. One day, you’ve never thought about “plating” a meal. The next, you’re someone who lets the phone eat first.

We use a few different methods to shape our clay into plates, bowls, mugs and more. Once the forms are made, each piece is hand-trimmed or finished with a sponge machine to smooth the edges before its first firing.

Our co-founder John has said that the Everyday Bowl was originally designed to appear at rest, like a well-worn river rock. That same low-slung curve runs through the whole series.

Fill your home and kitchen with beautiful, enduring goods.

There’s a bowl for just about every appetite and occasion. If you’re building your collection form-by-form, start by thinking about the meals your household enjoys most often. If you’re a cereal family, we recommend Soup Bowls. More of a yogurt and granola group? We recommend the Breakfast Bowls. The Ice Cream Bowl is a small version of the Soup Bowl, that we recommend for snacks, scoops, or side salads. If you’re starting with just one, the Everyday Bowl is our do-most-things-bowl and covers an impressive amount of ground. Our Size Guide is a really handy place to compare forms.

The Everyday Bowl and Soup Bowl have the same 3½ cup capacity, but their shapes make them good at different things. The Everyday Bowl is wide and shallow, great for versatile, everyday meals, a plate alternative. The Soup Bowl is narrower and deeper, with high sides designed to keep soup warm, but also works for cereal, oatmeal, or a very ambitious sundae. Our Size Guide is a really handy place to compare forms.

Yes. East Fork pottery is dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe. Our pottery is designed to fit in most standard home dishwashers and is durable enough for commercial dishwashers, too. The only exception is pottery that is made with decaled patterns, like the pots in the The Matisse Collection, which we recommend washing by hand.

All East Fork pottery is made at our factory in Asheville, North Carolina, using a blend of stoneware clays and minerals sourced from the American Southeast. Our team combines skilled handwork with specialized pottery equipment to shape, finish, and glaze each piece. We then fire our pottery in gas kilns using a reduction process that brings out signature iron speckles and natural glaze variations.

We make our pottery with a blend of stoneware clays and minerals that we develop in-house and iterate on nonstop. We source our materials from the American Southeast which helps minimize our carbon footprint and keeps our products rooted in the land we call our home.

East Fork’s clay is rich in iron, as it has been since the beginning, and through a process of limiting the oxygen in the kiln during part of the firing, iron molecules are drawn to the surface of the clay, resulting in our signature iron spots, also lovingly referred to as speckling.

East Fork’s core colors make up our year-round palette. Seasonal colors come and go with the seasons, while limited colors are produced in smaller one-time runs or for special releases. Start with core colors to build your collection over time, or mix in seasonal and limited colors as they catch your eye.

We’ve brought retired colors back before, but a past return doesn’t guarantee a future one. If you have a favorite, keep an eye out for our Seconds Sales where hard-to-find colors may surface, and follow our email announcements and Instagram for re-releases.
