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 United States museums.

Heath Ceramics is one of many companies Didriks sells that preserve authentic artisanal craft, or stress environmentally friendly techniques in their manufacturing process.  Health Ceramics is definitely a leader in sustainable living.
