Heath Ceramics

We visited the Heath Ceramics store and studio in Melrose yesterday.

I love the simple design and colors of the dinnerware.

These are the dishes Alice Waters uses in her renowned Berkeley, California restaurant Chez Panisse.

I was impressed to learn that Heath Ceramics has teamed up with Skid Row Housing Trust in collecting dinnerware to be donated to the needy.

Until August 31, people can bring the dinnerware they want to donate into Heath Ceramics in exchange for 25-percent off corresponding Heath items.
