Products include domestic ware and one-off pieces. We supply cafes, bars and restaurants with bespoke tableware.

Leith Community Pottery is home to a unique, gas-fired reduction kiln, one of very few in Edinburgh. Reduction is a highly specialised and increasingly rare technique, used to produce unique and inimitable glazes and finishes in ceramics.
