About Heath Ceramics
Heath Ceramics is one of the few remaining mid-century American potteries still in existence today. They have been making tableware and tile for over a half-century in their Sausalito, California factory. Their crew of 40 skilled craftsmen (many with 20+ years of experience with Heath) still makes every product on the premises, often utilizing the methods and techniques developed by Edith Heath throughout her life.
Edith Heath (1911-2005) founded Heath Ceramics in the mid-forties when, following her one-woman show at San Francisco's Palace of the Legion of Honor, her pieces were picked up for sale at Gump’s of San Francisco. As a result of Edith’s timeless and unique design sense - many of her pieces live in the permanent collections of museums such as the MOMA in New York City. |
