Everyday Kitchen Living
Handmade pottery designed for everyday kitchen life
At Grandchose, I enjoy creating objects that are meant to be used. Not just decorative pieces, but handmade pottery and kitchen accessories that naturally become part of everyday life.
In this category, I share practical ideas and real-life uses for my creations. You’ll find articles about how to use a ceramic garlic grater, why pasta bowls often become the most versatile pieces in a cupboard, how to choose a comfortable mug, and why certain small kitchen accessories quickly become indispensable.
The kitchen is a living space where objects are handled every day. They need to be durable, practical, easy to clean, and enjoyable to use. This is why high-fired stoneware is at the heart of my work. Its strength makes it ideal for handmade tableware that can withstand daily use, repeated washing, and dishwasher cleaning.
I also like to show that handmade objects can be both practical and full of personality. A spoon rest can become a decorative accent. A pitcher can double as a vase. An illustrated plate can bring joy to the table while remaining perfectly functional.
This category also explores the habits and rituals that surround cooking, shared meals, and Mediterranean living. Because the simplest objects are often the ones we grow most attached to over time.
Here you’ll find practical advice, everyday kitchen inspiration, and articles dedicated to handmade pottery designed to be used, enjoyed, and kept for years.
