Custom & Wholesale

Ceramics made
for your space

Whether you run a neighbourhood café, a farm-to-table restaurant, or you're planning a wedding — custom handthrown ceramics are one of the most personal ways to make a space feel like yours.

Every custom order is still made the same way as everything else here: thrown on the wheel, trimmed by hand, dipped in glaze, and fired in the kiln. The only difference is that we do it with your vision in mind.

What We Make

A custom order for every occasion

Handthrown half-dip cup — custom café ceramics by Silly Goose Pottery

Cafés & Coffee Shops

There's something about drinking coffee from a handmade mug that makes the whole experience better — and your customers will notice. We can make custom mugs, cups, and saucers glazed to match your café's aesthetic. Whether you want a neutral, earthy tone or something bold and colorful, we'll work with you on glaze colors, sizing, and quantities. Minimum order is typically 12 pieces.

Custom handthrown midnight plate for restaurant tableware

Restaurants & Venues

Handmade tableware changes how food feels on the table. Each plate, bowl, or serving piece is thrown to your spec — the right size, the right weight, the right glaze. We work with chefs and venue owners to create cohesive sets that stand up to daily restaurant use while still feeling special. Custom stamps or marks are available on request.

Handthrown honey cup — custom wedding favor ceramics

Weddings & Events

Ceramic favors are the kind guests actually take home and use. A small cup, a pinch bowl, an incense holder — handmade and signed, they're a genuinely personal touch that fits any aesthetic from rustic to modern. We can match your wedding color palette and include a custom note with each piece. Lead times for events are typically 6–10 weeks.

Handthrown sage bowl — custom corporate and studio gift ceramics

Corporate & Studio Gifts

If you're opening a new studio, celebrating a milestone, or looking for a gift that's genuinely thoughtful — custom ceramics make a lasting impression. We can create a set of pieces in your brand's palette, or simply make something beautiful that reflects your values. Handmade things carry a story, and that's exactly what a good gift should do.

The Process

How a custom order works

The whole point of custom work is that it should feel easy for you. Here's how we get from your idea to a finished piece.

01
Reach Out

Send a DM on Instagram or use the contact button below. Share what you have in mind — even a rough idea is a great starting point.

02
We Talk It Through

We'll discuss glaze colors, form, quantity, sizing, timeline, and budget. This part is a real conversation — we want to get it right.

03
Sample Piece

For larger orders, we make one or two sample pieces for your approval before moving into full production. No surprises.

04
Production & Delivery

Each piece is handmade, fired, and carefully packaged. We ship from Denver, CO. Timeline is typically 4–10 weeks depending on quantity.

Good to Know

A few things worth mentioning

Minimum Quantities

For most custom orders, the minimum is 12 pieces. This is because each glaze batch, firing, and production run takes the same setup time whether we're making 2 pieces or 20.

Natural Variation

Every handmade piece is slightly different — that's part of what makes them special. Glaze results can vary between firings, and no two pieces will ever be exactly alike. We think that's a feature, not a bug.

Lead Time

Custom orders typically take 4–10 weeks from approval of the sample piece. If you have a specific event or deadline, reach out early and we'll do our best to make it work.

Food Safety

All glazes used are lead-free and food safe. Pieces are fired to cone 6, making them durable, dishwasher safe, and suitable for daily restaurant or café use.

Pricing

Custom orders are priced based on form, quantity, and complexity. As a general guide, custom pieces run 10–30% above standard shop pricing. We'll give you a full quote before any work begins.

Shipping

We ship carefully packaged from Denver, CO. For large wholesale orders we can discuss freight options. Local pickup in Denver is always welcome.
