What is a second?
Read More HereMaking fine bone china is a tricky business. Making minimally decorated, bright white fine bone china on a working farm is, perhaps, even trickier. Occasionally things just don’t go quite to plan - read here for an in-depth look at what makes something a second…

Feldspar is a family run design brand creating timeless handmade homewares from our workshop in rural Devon. We make ‘objects for life’ — useful everyday items intended to be treasured.
Feldspar began in late 2016 after Jeremy and Cath Brown moved from London to the wilds of Dartmoor in Devon for a slower pace of life and some (head)space. Before they knew it, they’d bought a pottery wheel and made a 20-piece dinner set in time for Christmas. Their ethos was to create ‘objects for life’ — beautiful things made properly and to last, with an elegant and simple aesthetic to weather the trends of time.
Inspired by items their grandparents used daily that were fifty, or even 300 years old and still serving their purpose perfectly, Jeremy and Cath began by making a mug for coffee — with a wonky profile to sit perfectly in the hand (mugs are only cylindrical because they are easier to make that way) and a fine handle hand-painted in a deep Cobalt blue to echo the palette of classic chinaware. Made out of fine bone china (the strongest type of ceramic) by a family pottery in Stoke on Trent.

“Ordinary table objects, in common use since the Middle Ages, are transformed by the Browns into things of subtle beauty and durable grace.”
