Kiln Ceramics

A studio that fires in small batches and marks each one by hand. The packaging carries the batch, not the brand.

Overview

The mark is the batch

Kiln loses roughly a fifth of every firing, so no two batches are the same size. Rather than hide that, the system prints the batch number at the largest size on the box and leaves the studio name at the foot.

Boxes are unbleached and unprinted apart from one line of black. The glaze does the rest, which is how the studio wanted it.
