Time and patience as art

To create a handmade Studio Pieter Stockmans product requires a lot of time and patience. Porcelain cannot be moulded; on the contrary, it moulds those who make it. Every operation demands meticulous attention. Each step in the process contributes to the exceptional final result.

A durable product for many generations

Hard porcelain is fired at 1400°C. This high temperature and the specific level of pressure in the kiln results in a product that is snowy white and sintered to full density. It is no longer porous and you can use and clean it unglazed. The lack of glaze means you make no finger-marks on it when you serve. An undeniable advantage. An individual technical approach is taken to each product, because the high temperature makes the porcelain shrink by 17%.

Stockmans porcelain is among the highest quality in the world. It is suitable for microwave and dishwasher. Its high quartz content makes it highly wear-resistant. It is handcrafted porcelain that is brought to the table as a gift and is passed on for generations.

Limited and unique collections of quiet simplicity

Studio Pieter Stockmans swears by limited series. Mass production is out of the question. As a result of this choice – and the high quality of the porcelain – leading chefs like to come to the studio for custom items. They select designs that inspire them to create a new dish, or else they have a design custom-made for their own creations. The designs of Studio Pieter Stockmans porcelain are sober and discrete.
