Scottish Ceramics by Ella Fletcher Designs

Scottish Ceramics by Ella Fletcher Designs

Ella Fletcher Designs Handmade Ceramic range of vases designs and sizes

When you think of Scottish ceramics, you might picture timeless craft, natural beauty, and pieces that carry a story. At Ella Fletcher Designs, that’s exactly what we aim to create; joyful, colourful pottery that feels both special and practical, designed to bring a little brightness into everyday life.

Working from a converted hay barn studio just outside Edinburgh, we design and make small-batch Scottish pottery by hand on the wheel. Each mug, bowl or vase is carefully thrown, glazed, and fired, with inspiration drawn directly from the Scottish coast and countryside.

Handmade Ceramics Inspired by Scotland

Scottish gifts made in Scotland – pottery mugs and bowls perfect for presents
Scotland is at the heart of everything we make. The colours of the sea, wildflowers, and landscapes find their way into the glazes and textures of my ceramics. This isn’t mass-produced pottery. It’s small-scale, sustainable craft, made with intention and care.

For us, ceramics are about more than just function. They become part of your daily rituals: the mug you reach for every morning, the bowl you enjoy meals from, or the vase you fill with flowers from the garden. That’s why we feel so proud that our customers say we make thoughtful gifts that are personal, memorable, and lasting.

Scottish Gifts with a Personal Touch

Looking for Scottish gifts in Edinburgh or beyond? Our ceramics are stocked in carefully chosen independent shops across the UK, and you can also shop directly online. From colourful mugs to small bowls, every piece is unique — no two glazes ever come out exactly the same.

We also offer seasonal collections and limited editions, which make wonderful presents for birthdays, weddings, engagements, and housewarmings. There’s something special about giving a gift that you know has been made by hand, with its own little quirks and character.
