To keep it as beautiful and pristine as possible, we recommend that you follow the following advice:
• Avoid rough handling and sudden changes in temperature as this may cause the appearance of fine lines on the surface known as crazing. Crazing does NOT affect the life or the usefulness of the pottery, and some people feel this adds to the character and appeal of the pottery. It is nothing to worry about.
• Our pottery is dishwasher safe; please stack it carefully to avoid knocking.
• Our pottery is microwave safe but continuous use should be avoided.
• Stubborn stains may be removed by soaking in a mild bleach solution.
• For our ovenware pottery (and also our tabletop ware), avoid metal scourers or harsh abrasives.
• Only use our special Nicholas Mosse Ovenware in your oven, avoid direct heat and do not use on a hob or near a naked flame
All Nicholas Mosse products are well packed in ecologically friendly, recycled packing. Insurance is included in the shipping charge.
My Nicholas Mosse Old Rose salad bow is a beautiful item to have on a sideboard with fruit in it or, full with a delicious salad, on a dining table. It's very stylish too.
I'm also very pleased with the prompt, helpful service... on the phone, with delivery of my order and with a request for a 2nd gift card. I had bought 2 bowls, as prizes, and wanted a card for each. This arrived within days of my request. Many thanks.
I was so excited to see this large bowl in the Old Rose pattern! I fell in love with this pattern on my first trip to Ireland in 2017, and visited the pottery in my 2nd trip in 2019. Couldn't wait to add this bowl to my collection, and it even arrived a few weeks earlier than originally expected. I absolutely love it, and can't wait to show it off at my next gathering! <3
I absolutely love this bowl, it was a big wow and smile once all the packaging was broken through, Such amazing packaging to deliver safely to me,
The colour s and design are so aesthetically pleasing to me, This bowl does not have a home
Yet,
I Just enjoy looking at it in a prime spot ,
With kind thoughts for making this bowl, to please all of your customers
I hope to see you on line soon

I always love your pottery but I really wish you could wrap it in something biodegradable to ship it. It’s lovely and sage and snug but I wonder what is going to happen to the planet with all of that plastic and bubble wrap.
Store owner replied:
We totally understand your concerns – our bubble wrap is fully recyclable and we are striving to improve all aspects of our ecological footprint.
This was a present it's beautiful really big and so pretty this pottery is lovely the service is excellent and well packaged
This bowl will look beautiful gracing a table with salad or on a table with fruit piled in. I can’t wait for my new family kitchen to be finished so that I can display it.
Super experience from initial enquiry to ordering with Breda Bolger, all done over the phone. Staff extremely helpful and informative and handled my order with super efficiency. Gift delivered safely to France and received with much delight. My only regret is that the bowl wasn't for me!
Every piece of Nicholas Mosse undergoes a 20-step, handmade process.
Basic Forming
Clay comes from the ground and we mix different sorts of clays to create our own, high quality earthenware. We dig, blunge, sieve, filter and pug the clay to form extruded logs of wet clay, which are then cut into the exact size and weight for each item. The thrower takes this lump and centers and forms it on an electric potter’s wheel.
Wet Clay or Greenware
The little jug body is dried to a "leather hard" stage, and then a handle is attached to it with a glue-like substance called slip. Small imperfections are fettled and cleared away to make the pot ready for the next stage.
Slip Dipping
When it reaches a very particular level of hardness, the little jug can be lowered into the liquid slip bucket. This type of slip is made from our same clay but with more water and less iron, to make it whiter. The slip is viscous and makes another pot cleaning necessary.
Bisque Kiln Firing
Once again the jug needs to harden even more, so it can withstand being stamped with our Nicholas Mosse logo. It then waits for its turn in the kiln and receives a first firing or ‘bisque’ firing, which removes all water from the clay and makes it hard and ready to decorate.
Decorating
Nicholas Mosse Pottery has a large group of shapes, from mugs to plates to bowls, which are all hand decorated in one of our 10 or so patterns. Each motif is applied by hand, one at a time, in different underglaze colours. The pots are then dipped into clear glaze and fired again.
