Meet our brand-new mobile-style windchimes; although perhaps we should call them windclunks because they are too chunky to chime but what they lack in melodious ringing they make up for in their beauty (we’re not ashamed to boast because they are!…)
Our chunky china mobile-style windchime will be beautiful inside or outdoors (in the summer months and look lovely hanging from doors, windows, trees or just about anywhere. They are strung using white waxed cord and handtied knots… please note that while they are happy to summer outside we advise bringing them in before the first frost to protect both the pottery and waxed cord.
To me, these sum up what I try and achieve with Marigold and Lettice: the way that the light dances of them (even if they don’t have a pretty chime to accompany it) is magical, it shows the many different colours of white as the sun (or candle light) hits them and highlights that there is no such thing as a plain, flat, white circle of chunky china – even the simplest disc, cross, heart or flower has texture galore and a whole lot to offer! We’re getting carried away but hope you can see how the light catches them even from our indoor pictures!
Now, each piece will be totally unique as they don’t follow a set pattern – similar yes, unique absolutely…. what’s more we have a number of different styles for you to choose from, and sizes too!
- Fluted edged discs – hanging strands will be a mix of different sized plain and imprinted round discs

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 FOUR WEEKS although this is just a guide and if it goes over please bear with us, if it goes under let's celebrate!

Our china looks and feels very (very) different to mass-produced pottery; it’s not fine or delicate, but wonderfully chunky and full of texture, you’ll see thumb prints, makers marks, glaze specks/drips and heaps of individuality. We call it perfectly imperfect pottery and firmly believe it’s all the better for it!
Please note that because each piece is unique the design will be different from the one in the picture – similar but unique.
Marigold and Lettice pottery is (hand)made to be loved and used, and happily goes in the oven, dishwasher and microwave.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE ARE AN APPROXIMATE SIZE AS EACH PIECE IS HANDMADE
- Small – 10cm (ish) ring with six decorative hanging strands of your selected design
- Medium – 13cm (ish) ring with seven decorative hanging strands of your selected design
- Large – 15cm (ish) ring with eight decorative hanging strands of your selected design
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.
