behind the table

Table Ceramics is a collection of perfectly imperfect, handmade ceramics designed to be part of everyday life. Your shared meals, quiet rituals and meaningful moments. Based in Palmerston North, Manawatū, each piece is crafted slowly and intentionally using hand building techniques that embrace the beauty of organic, subtly varied forms.

Founded by Fiona Odering, Table is grounded in a love for timeless design, minimalism and organic forms. Life with three children is full and often fast-paced, but working with clay brings a welcome slowness. Some days are for creating, others are not and that's all part of the process.

Each ceramic piece begins as a slab of clay, shaped by hand over moulds, or combined with coiling and pinching techniques. No two pieces are exactly the same. Slight variations in thickness, form and finish make every item truly unique. Beautiful in their imperfection.

Table offers a core range of thoughtfully designed ceramics, available in a selection of neutral, timeless colours, perfect for everyday use. Alongside the main collection, Fiona also creates limited edition, one-off pieces that bring something truly special to your home.

All ceramics are made by hand in Fiona’s pottery studio in Palmerston North. The focus is always on simplicity, functionality and the quiet beauty of handmade work. These are pieces made to be used and loved, crafted with intention to add a touch of individuality to every meal, moment and space.

Thank you for considering Table Ceramics. We hope our work becomes part of your own daily rituals.
