Mermaids might be mythical creatures, but this babe is very much loud and proud. Chunky of course, and more diva than fabled, our mermaid is the latest member of the Marigold and Lettice family and has already made herself at home on our shelves.
She’s large and long and fabulously chunky and of course she loves being in the dishwasher (!), oven and microwave. She'll circle around the base of the cake stand pedestal and keep an eye on whatever you put on top!
There are two sizes to choose from: standard is perfect for a good-size cake and the jumbo is for, well, much larger cakes! Both are about the same height, featuring one mermaid, on a really fab pedestal!

Marigold and Lettice pottery is (hand)made to be loved and used, and happily goes in the oven, dishwasher and microwave. Our chunky china has a very different look and feel to mass-produced pottery; each piece is handmade so expect to see thumb prints and perfectly imperfect glazing - it’s what makes our pottery unique and full of character.
Getting your perfect piece to you is our priority but as each piece is made to order (we don't hold any pieces in stock), the process takes a MINIMUM OF THREE TO FOUR WEEKS although this is just a guide and if it goes over please bear with us.
Please note that because each piece is unique the design will be different from the one in the picture – similar but unique.

please note that this is an approximate size as each is handmade so may be slightly different size wise!
WIDTH HEIGHT standard 26cm 9cm jumbo 31cm 9cm Marigold and Lettice pottery is made to be used, loved and enjoyed; it’s made using sturdy earthenware clay and a thick white glaze. This means it’s hard-wearing and every piece can safely go in the oven, dishwasher, microwave and even the freezer.
Each piece that is made by Marigold and Lettice is totally handmade and a one-off. So, if you see thumb prints in the clay or the glaze that may be thicker in some parts than others, it's because each piece is unique and is what gives our chunky china its specialness, and a different look and feel to mass-produced pottery.
When you first get your chunky china piece you may hear a ‘ping’ - especially the first time the pottery meets with water. If you do, please don’t worry, it's really quite normal and will stop as soon as the glaze/clay settles down together. You may also notice that the bottom of every piece is left unglazed, and this may leave a slight residue on your shelves, but can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth.
Like with all china, over time you may also notice signs of use in the glaze, but these are just signs of the china being well-loved. If this is the case, please be assured, the piece will still be perfectly fine to use.
