There's something magical about holding a piece of pottery that was shaped by hand, and honestly, that's exactly what drew me to Stephanie's work. When I first discovered her ceramics, I knew immediately that these weren't just dishes — they were little pieces of art. The story of how we met is a funny one but just picture this: I saw her work, hunted her down, became her first wholesale client and the rest is history.

Stephanie works out of her studio in Waitsfield, Vermont and every single piece she creates feels like it has its own personality. Her approach to ceramics is both playful and sophisticated, which is probably why her pieces work perfectly for different settings.

The Blue Splatter Collection

Let me start with one of my favorites — the Blue Splatter Barrel Mug. This isn't just a mug; it's the kind of piece that makes you want to slow down and actually savor your coffee. The splatter technique Stephanie uses creates these gorgeous organic patterns that remind me of sea spray against rocks — so perfect for Cape Cod mornings.

The matching Blue Splatter Serving Bowl is equally stunning. I love using it for everything from fresh berries at brunch to serving pasta at dinner parties. It's one of those pieces that guests always ask about — "Where did you get this beautiful bowl?" And Stephanie creates in porcelain so these pieces are dishwasher and microwave safe - bonus!  

Sculptural Pieces That Double as Art

What I really admire about Stephanie's work is how she plays with form. Take the Wavy Line Vase — it's like having a piece of sculpture on your table that happens to hold flowers beautifully. The undulating lines create this sense of movement that makes me think of gentle ocean waves.

And then there's the Crinkle Vase — the texture is so tactile and organic, like crumpled paper frozen in ceramic. It works beautifully with a single stem or a small bouquet, but it's gorgeous even sitting empty on a shelf.

Functional Art for Entertaining

The Square Flutter Platter might be my favorite entertaining piece right now. The flutter edge gives it this whimsical quality that makes even cheese and crackers look like you spent hours planning. I used it for Easter brunch this year and it was perfect — large enough for a beautiful spread but interesting enough to be a conversation starter.

What I love most about Stephanie's approach is that she creates pieces that feel both timeless and fresh. They're not trying to be anything other than what they are — beautiful, functional ceramics made with obvious care and attention to detail.

The Story Behind the Art

Every piece Stephanie creates is made entirely by hand, which means no two are exactly alike. That's part of what makes them so special — you're not just buying a dish, you're bringing home something that was shaped by an artist's hands. The slight variations and imperfections are what make them feel alive and personal.

If you're looking to add some handmade beauty to your table or just want to support an incredible artist, I can't recommend Stephanie Grace's ceramics enough. They're the kind of pieces that make you fall in love with the ritual of setting a table or arranging flowers — because suddenly these everyday acts feel a little more like art.
