Heath Ceramics unique products continue to be made according to founder Edith Heath's original vision - exemplified today in their award winning tableware and architectural tile. All Heath products are hand-crafted in their original Sausalito factory and held to the same standards of design and quality as for the past half-century. Heath's goals of sustaining local manufacturing, creating high quality, well designed products, maintaining a fair and responsible workplace for employees and reducing their environmental impact helps set their financial goals and business model, not the other way around; caring about all aspects of a business, translates to the products being made. Heath strives to become a model for US manufacturing -- inspiring designers to look towards domestic production and inspiring US manufacturers to think creatively about their business models, as well as the value of quality design. Ultimately, Heath believes a local, holistic and sustainable business offers greater long-term rewards than can ever be achieved in chasing higher short-term profits by sending manufacturing overseas. Local manufacturing has social and cultural rewards in bringing pride to a community and the people at Heath like to think of Heath Ceramics as the “farmer’s market” option for dinnerware and tile. Edith heath’s classic coupe pattern was designed in 1948 and has been in constant production ever since. An example of modernism's honesty in materials, this timeless pattern stands out for its clean and simple lines. Available in Vancouver at:
