Karen Downing porcelain

​

Each piece is individually hand thrown and entirely hand crafted by Karen in her Norfolk studio.

The highest quality and consistency are aimed for but the nature of the making process means that there will always be subtle variations in size, shape and glaze finish. 

​

Please take this into consideration when making your purchase.

​

Porcelain is a robust material and all work is dishwasher safe but hand washing is recommended.
