The masterminds at East Fork have unveiled their latest seasonal color, and it’s a splashy reminder that the craft of expertly made, gorgeously designed dinnerware is still alive and kicking.

"Night Swim is a departure for us," says East Fork co-founder Connie Matisse. "It's got a bit of a Manhattan nightlife in the ’90s vibe and a bit of a lavish, Louis XIV maximalism."

All of East Fork’s ceramic dinnerware is made in Asheville, North Carolina, using regional materials.

"Night Swim is a departure for us," says co-founder Connie Matisse. "It's got a bit of a Manhattan nightlife in the ’90s vibe and a bit of a lavish, Louis XIV maximalism. On our humble, pared-down, essentialist forms, though, it’s still grounded. It makes us think of a walk around the perimeter of a moonlit lake. The endless, open ocean reflecting starlight. It’s funny to describe colors as unnatural or otherworldly—there isn’t a color that this earth didn’t invent. A scarab beetle. A butterfly wing. A peacock feather. A deep, cold, pond at midnight." Take a peek at all the plate, cup, and bowl options that will make your dinner guests green with envy.

East Fork Bitty Bowl
East Fork
The smallest of the bunch, but the one we keep finding new uses for. Run a line of them holding votive candles across your mantle, set the table with personal-sized sauce bowls, keep sea salt close at hand (don’t mess with salt spoons—salt is antiseptic; pinch away!).

This is your plate for your morning avocado toast, appetizer salads, or a slice of pie a la mode. They make a great lunch plate for you or dinner plate for kids. Nests perfectly between East Fork Cake Plates and Dinner Plates.

East Fork Juice Cup
East Fork
Please believe us when we say that we do not judge chugging half gallons of OJ straight from the refrigerator. But if that’s not your style, meet The Juice Cup. We use the term Juice Cup loosely, and with the understanding that you might wanna knock back a few successive rounds.
Shop
East Fork Cake Plate
East Fork
The wee one previously known as the Bread and Butter plate. Use it for bread and butter, yes, but also to hold pillar candles, a desk plant, for Hors D'Oeuvres at cocktail parties, or for a little afternoon cheese and cracker snack.
