Heath Ceramics in San Francisco

If you appreciate arts and crafts and objects of unique quality and design you must visit the new Heath Ceramics shop in San Francisco.

I love to feel the weight of their tableware and the patina and matt finish of their ceramics. The color range is also very unique, I particularly like the Chocolate Brown, French Grey and Mist colors. In a way it reminds me of the Bauer pottery I wrote about  here . It is difficult to get the whole experience if you cannot pick up one of their pieces and feel it with your fingers, each object feels earthy, handcrafted and a work of art. I do not know of a more modern line of tableware.

Here is the history of Heath Ceramics from Sausalito, California

The shop is in a 60,000-square-foot building which has been divided into a multiuse design hub replete with 3,500-square-foot gallery-like store, chef’s kitchen, on-site tile factory that you can look into from the shop, tile design bar, a delicious Blue Bottle Coffee outpost and, eventually, a restaurant.

Wonderful!
