Margaret's, Cambridge
There's something particularly special about seeing our handmade ceramics become part of a restaurant's story. We were delighted to create a collection of bespoke white flecked plates for Margaret's Restaurant in Cambridge, thoughtfully designed to complement their beautiful dishes.
With a shared appreciation for craftsmanship, thoughtful details and the pleasure of good food, it was a lovely opportunity to bring our ceramics to the table in such a relaxed, yet elevated setting.
For Margaret's, we created our signature white flecked plates in bespoke sizes, carefully considered to suit the restaurant's individual dishes and presentation. Each piece was handmade using natural flecked clay and finished in a soft white glaze, every plate has a subtle warmth and character with delicate speckles of clay showing through the surface.
The understated design provides a beautiful canvas for the colours, textures and creativity of the food, allowing each dish to take centre stage while adding the unique charm of handmade ceramics.
Since opening, Margaret's has attracted some wonderful attention from the food world, with features in The Times, The Caterer and The MICHELIN Guide.
It's been lovely to see the restaurant's dishes and dining experience celebrated across these publications, with our handmade plates as part of the story. For us, it's a wonderful reminder of how thoughtful design and craftsmanship can come together across different creative disciplines, from the kitchen to the ceramics studio.
Creating bespoke pieces for restaurants is something we particularly enjoy. It offers the opportunity to consider how ceramics will be used, how they complement the food and how even the smallest details contribute to the overall dining experience.
We're so pleased to see our white flecked plates in their new home at Margaret's, providing a simple, timeless backdrop for the restaurant's delicious creations.
