John Ryan Ceramics was established in 1998 by master craftsman John Ryan, in the heartland of south county Sligo. John makes both functional and decorative stoneware pottery, drawing inspiration from the surrounding rural landscape.
Similarly to the past when Irish pottery was found on the tables of homesteads throughout the country, John Ryan Ceramics' handmade and manually decorated stoneware is offered to consumers looking for an alternative to uniform and uninspiring mass production. The special glaze makes their pottery durable, highly resistant to chipping, scratching and entirely safe while being used for serving food, as they are cadmium and lead free.
Due to their high quality, all the pottery can be used in microwaves, ovens and dish washers. Only natural and ecological materials are used throughout the entire production process. After throwing, finishing and glazing, all products are fired to 1250 degrees centigrade.
