Vaidava Ceramics: A Story of Craft, Heritage and Heart

For nearly 45 years, we have poured our passion into producing artisanal creations – treasures made to enrich both the simplicity of everyday life and its celebration. Our depth of experience and unwavering focus in achieving exceptional handmade craftmanship secures a position in the spotlight together with other internationally renowned names in exclusive tableware.

In our work, we honour the soul of true, living clay – a natural, breathing, and enduring material. We embrace the essence of what is deeply rooted in the soil beneath our feet, the place where we live and work. Therefore, EVERY piece is handcrafted entirely by us – within one workshop, as one family, gathered at a single table. Here, we witness each piece’s journey from inception to completion, cherishing the dynamic dialogue between the craftsperson’s hands and the clay itself. Only in this way can we ensure that each creation carries its unique character and uncompromising quality.

Raw materials

We use locally sourced Latvian red clay. Its distinctive red color is caused by iron oxide in the clay. The clay is known for its exceptional quality and has been prized by potters and ceramics artists for centuries. It is also highly durable and resistant to heat. Although a popular choice for brick-making, with our innovation the red clay has transformed into a unique tableware.
