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.
Substantial and beautiful. Packaging was amazingly well done. I was admiring my sister dinner ware and thought how nice a vase would be. Well done Nicholas Mosse.
Bought this as a gift for my mam and she loved it! Initially bought the smaller size and it was no issue to arrange a refund and order the larger vase. Would definitely buy from Nicholas Mosse again!
Beautiful large vase ordered on a Monday received on Wednesday very well packaged.... love that it’s irish pottery and Supporting these wonderful Irish made goods ... so important during these times...
I always buy of these as wedding present , they go down a treat , sometimes I get it online and it’s an absolute perfect experience from beginning to end 👏👏👏
Always buy this as a wedding gift , bit old fashioned not giving money but I think every home should have a lovely vase be it empty or full and this definitely hits the spot !
Everyone loves it 👌
I had bought the small tapered vase and I loved it so much I ordered the large vase at a later date. It’s even nicer than I ever imagined and has been hugely admired. It is so safe too due to it’s shape.
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.
