URTH Are Serving Pinterest Dinner Table Realness With Their Collection of Handmade Ceramic Tableware

Pinterest-stans, listen up. This local brand – aptly-named URTH -  makes outrageously stunning handmade ceramic dinnerware using pottery, and we’re quite shook at the aesthetics tbh. It was all inspired thanks to co-founder Rowan Torky, after witnessing the gorgeousness of handmade pottery products on a trip to Fayoum. Their products include plates, bowls, cups and mugs – and soon serving trays, flower pots and kitchen accessories – all aesthetically inspired by different elements of nature, like the ocean and the soon-to-be released ‘summer night sky’ and shells on the seashore.

“We chose to seek inspiration from elements of the earth, because – after all – pottery comes from the earth, and we really wanted to reflect that feeling through our pieces,” Torky – who founded the brand along with Jimmy Brassily and Yara Hossam – tells SceneEats.

Each piece is handmade by local craftsmen, with no piece is exactly identical to one another, which gives the dinnerware a super unique look. “Through the process of making the tableware, sometimes the chemical reaction in the colouring stage results in their colours being slightly different. But that’s not a mistake,” Torky adds, “Each piece has a look of its own, and we want it to look that way.”

The brand supports local craftsmen – and honours the fact that so much work goes into each piece they make, which holds more soul and character than tableware that’s mass-produced.

It seems as though the brand’s vision doesn’t just end at selling their beautiful pieces, but they'd rather have a bigger goal of raising awareness on the beauty, value and meaning of handmade tableware, and the art of traditional art of pottery in Egypt through their Instagram page.
