Redesigned Medalta Side Plates by Medalta

“Medalta is an historic site that was once the home to several potteries, and is known for quality porcelain. The factories went bankrupt, and thousands of these plates were left. Contemporary designers then made patterns that translated onto these plates. It’s now actually an active artist’s residency program.” -- Julie Nicholson

“Its in Medicine Hat, Alberta. The imagery on the plates actually relates to the site. We’re the only store in Canada that carries these.” -- Shaun Moore

(Designers clockwise from top: Jenna Stanton, Jenn Demke-Lange, Aaron Nelson & Tobie Laliberte)

An innovative cookware product with traditional origins, the Stoneware Chicken Roaster from Malle w. Trousseau simplifies the process of roasting a chicken. Designed as a simple bowl with a pronounced skewer, the Chicken Roaster allows you to cook a chicken vertically by placing the chicken onto the pick and pushing it down. The structure of the cooker allows for uniform roasting as the heat rises from the base of the roaster and juices running down the bird make the skin crispy. Vegetables can be placed at the base of the bird to create a delicious side dish while the chicken roasts.

14-ounce mug by Blue Eagle Pottery

"This is one of our bestselling things. I like Robert Blue's work because it's affordable but beautiful. The pink lines make the whole thing come together. And this is great for people who love a big cup of coffee. The pieces are also very sturdy—you can put them in the dishwasher or microwave. The line is designed well."
