Tableware and Drinkware
Be Home stoneware pitchers and mugs are made from natural clay with reactive glazes — each piece has slight color and texture variation, meaning no two are exactly alike. Common Ground drinking glasses are hand-blown, resulting in organic shapes and subtle bubbles in the glass. Creative Co-Op rounds out the tableware with stoneware plates, flatware, and serving pieces in earthy tones. Mix and match across brands for a layered, collected table setting rather than a uniform matched set.
Kitchen Linens and Tools
Filling Spaces linen tea towels are block-printed by hand in India on 100% linen — they work as functional kitchen towels but are decorative enough to leave on display. Creative Co-Op and Common Ground offer olive wood and natural fiber utensils, cutting boards, and serving tools. Kiss That Frog brings European-sourced kitchen accessories including long taper candles and artisan soaps that cross over between kitchen and entertaining.
Pantry and Entertaining
Our pantry goods include gourmet sea salts, artisan jams and preserves, and specialty butters — functional gifts or finishing touches for a styled kitchen. Serving pieces like stoneware trays, wooden boards, and glass pitchers do double duty: they serve food and look good on open shelving or a kitchen island between uses.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the stoneware pieces dishwasher safe?
Most Be Home and Creative Co-Op stoneware is dishwasher safe on the top rack. However, hand-washing extends the life of reactive glazes and prevents the matte finish from dulling over time. Hand-blown glassware from Common Ground should always be hand-washed — the thin walls and organic shapes are more fragile than machine-made glass. Check each product page for specific care instructions.
Are the hand-blown glasses safe for everyday use?
Yes. Common Ground hand-blown glasses are made from borosilicate or soda-lime glass and are food-safe for daily use. The bubbles and slight irregularities are part of the hand-blown process, not defects. They are lighter and thinner than machine-made glasses, so handle with care during washing. Expect minor variation in size and shape between glasses in a set — this is intentional and part of the artisan character.
What materials are the kitchen utensils made from?
Our kitchen utensils use olive wood, teak, and natural fiber materials. Olive wood is naturally antibacterial, dense, and does not absorb odors — it works for cutting boards, spoons, and serving tools. Teak has natural oil content that resists moisture. Both woods should be hand-washed and oiled periodically with food-safe mineral oil to prevent drying and cracking. Avoid soaking wooden utensils or putting them in the dishwasher.
Can I use the pantry goods as gifts?
Yes — the gourmet sea salts, jams, and preserves are packaged for gifting. They pair well with a cutting board, linen tea towel, or set of drinking glasses for a kitchen-themed gift. We can also arrange custom gift bundles — contact us for options.
