This pottery is out of stock, but we plan to make more soon.

The Coupe’s shallow, wide space is like a canvas for artful plating—especially proteins with sauces, since it’s roomy enough to cut without making a mess. But it’s also a great place to dump a bag of salad or a container of takeout sukiyaki. In either case, you’ll feel like you’re in a restaurant (even if you’re still in your pjs).

Our pottery is made by humans and reduction-fired in Asheville, North Carolina. Any differences in glaze applications and surfaces are there to embrace.

Dishwasher and microwave safe
Avoid open flames or preheated ovens. Our pots are oven safe up to 350° but must start in a cool oven and be brought up to heat gradually (think crème brûlée).
Over time, your pots might accumulate mild cutlery marks. These can be buffed off with warm water and scouring powder such as Bar Keeper's Friend. More information.

What do you reach for when neither a plate nor a bowl feels quite right? The Coupe is our answer: shallow and wide, with a higher wall for saucy pastas and heaping salads. We use ours to dress up festive tables, make takeout feel like an occasion, and pull double duty as serveware.

Coupes are a restaurant staple for good reason. The broad, uninterrupted surface invites composition—like a canvas for artful plating.

The Coupe’s high sides make it particularly good for anything with a little movement: pasta slicked with sauce, brothy beans, well-dressed greens, curry, risotto.

Not just for special occasions, but for times when your salad becomes a fridge-clearer, you made “too much pasta,” or you want to shuttle a whole chicken to the table.

The Coupe now comes in three sizes—one fit for each course of your meal. Bread and good olive oil to start, salad next, then onto the main event.

With a wide surface and sloped walls, our Coupes contains the slosh of a sauce while offering space for decorative plating.

Fill your home and kitchen with beautiful, enduring goods.

The Coupe is the union of a single plate and a bowl. It’s higher, rounded sides make it the perfect vessel for plating saucier meals. Plates have a flatter, more open surface, making them our preference for meals that may require using a knife. You can use both interchangeably, but a good rule of thumb is to think: coupes for pasta, plates for steak.

The right Coupe depends on what you’re putting in it and how big your appetite is. The Coupe is the one to reach for when you need room for a full meal, and it can double as a serving dish. The Side Coupe is a handy in-between for smaller meals, perhaps a side salad. The Little Coupe is great for small snacks or holding accoutrement like slices of lime wedges. Together, they make a wonderful table setting.

Yes. East Fork pottery is dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe. Our pottery is designed to fit in most standard home dishwashers and is durable enough for commercial dishwashers, too. The only exception is pottery that is made with decaled patterns, like the pots in the The Matisse Collection, which we recommend washing by hand. You can read more about how to care for our pottery here.

All East Fork pottery is made at our factory in Asheville, North Carolina, using a blend of stoneware clays and minerals sourced from the American Southeast. Our team combines skilled handwork with specialized pottery equipment to shape, finish, and glaze each piece. We then fire our pottery in gas kilns using a reduction process that brings out signature iron speckles and natural glaze variations.

We make our pottery with a blend of stoneware clays and minerals that we develop in-house and iterate on nonstop. We source our materials from the American Southeast which helps minimize our carbon footprint and keeps our products rooted in the land we call our home.

East Fork’s clay is rich in iron, as it has been since the beginning, and through a process of limiting the oxygen in the kiln during part of the firing, iron molecules are drawn to the surface of the clay, resulting in our signature iron spots, also lovingly referred to as speckling.

Yes, East Fork dinnerware is oven-safe up to 350°F when heated gradually. Start with room-temperature pottery in a cool oven and let them warm up together. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as moving pottery directly from the refrigerator into the oven or placing a hot piece in cold water. Let pottery cool before washing or refrigerating, never use it under the broiler, and check for chips or cracks before putting it in the oven.
