The Basics

A small guide to how our collections, glazes, and restocks work around here.

Handmade ceramics are wonderfully unpredictable. Kilns have moods, glazes behave differently from one firing to the next, and sometimes the pieces everyone falls in love with disappear faster than we can remake them. We do our best to keep our core collection available, but because everything is made by hand in our South London studio, patience occasionally becomes part of the process too.

The good news?

Most of our core forms are here to stay.

Our current collections make up the heart of Sofia Ceramics for home and will continue to be part of the studio for the foreseeable future. While the forms themselves tend to remain, we do occasionally retire glazes, introduce new ones, have limited edition pieces or quietly shift things around as the studio evolves.

If you previously bought a piece from us, or had your heart set on a glaze that seems to have vanished into the kiln abyss, please email us. Chances are we can tell you a little more, and sometimes we may still be able to help.

Restocks

If a piece is marked as out of stock, it usually means we are actively making more. Depending on production schedules, restaurant orders, firing cycles, and the occasional kiln surprise, restocks can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks.

The easiest thing to do is sign up for restock notifications on the product page. You will automatically receive an email the moment the piece returns.

Achived Pieces

If a product is marked as archived, chances are it will not be returning. That said, we are the same people making everything by hand every day, so never say never. Sometimes old favourites reappear unexpectedly, usually because someone in the studio missed them too. Feel free to send us an email and we will try our best, we make no promises though!

A Tiny Disclaimer From the Kiln Room

We are family run studio balancing hospitality production, custom projects, new glaze experiments, and everyday online orders all at once. Things occasionally change, timelines move around, and some pieces take longer than expected to return.

Thank you for being patient with the process and for supporting handmade work. It genuinely means the world to us.

And remember: Good things take time. Especially the kiln fired kind
