Handcrafted by Potters, Not Machines

Leafbud side plates are made using traditional pottery-making techniques by artisans with years of experience. Leafbud's skilled potters hand shape the clay, glaze each plate by hand, and fire the finished work in a kiln. Every step of the making process is done by hand with great care and attention.

Artisans do not work to make identical pieces, but to embrace the natural variations that emerge in the process. This is what gives each of the handcrafted side plates its own unique character.
