Heath Ceramics Reviews

Came here for a tour, it was pretty fun and informative.
Once in a while drop by here for their seconds (slight cosmetic issues, but discounted).

We have friends who only buy from Heath ceramics. The store is a treasure trove of beautiful high-quality dinnerware and decorative items. The staff is so well trained and so well versed in the merchandise. The parking lot is the pits- especially when it rains and there are puddles of mud. It is lumpy and bumpy.

Gorgeous dinner ware, vases, bowls, tile, etc. This is the factory store, original location. Well worth the drive to Sausalito. This location also carries 'seconds' which are discounted due to slight imperfections. Google "Edith Heath!"

Heath ceramics studio and shop. We are also studio tours by day. Outlet goods can be purchased at about 1 to 3 discount.

conveniently located near my previous work and home I used to visit this place often with my wife. nice colors, tones and design items/ceramics. nice and friendly staff. Don't miss out on their 2nd quality items and factory tours. They also have tiles and other items in collaboration with other designers.

A lot of items were lined up in a small store and I also visited LA 's roadside shop, but this one was fun and rich in color, for example. The quality is also high enough not to know which side is the outlet, Heath of design that is strong and dull anyway. I can find good products.

Even though it is a B grade product, it seems that there is no difference in quality, so I recommend it to those who do not mind. Clerks also answer questions properly.
As it is a sturdy item, I was told that it would be okay to have it by airplane boarding. I brought home with baggage once.
People from Japan think here Alden and Santa Cruz 's Patagonia route is not bad.

Premium ceramics with 20% off on second grade quality products.

Durable, simple, pleasant weight, and a sensual joy to touch and hold.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Their factory seconds are a great value considering the minor imperfections. Great selection of quality goods.

High quality ceramics by local artists. I always buy their works of art for everyday use in my kitchen. Their studio is a must stop when in Sausalito, Embarcadero or any of their other locations.

A no brainer for fans of Heath Ceramics. Must visit the space - it's the definition of mid-century modern.

Amazing collection of artisan grade ceramics.
The Sausalito location is Heath s factory that has been 1959, the original location. In the factory you can take tours and also buy ceramics. More so, here you can buy pieces at discounted prices which are not available at the store in San Francisco. Check it out and buy local made pieces of art.

Wonderful tour that would appeal to anyone who loves ceramics or knowing how things are made. The history is so interesting and the ceramics, while on the expensive side, are made to last. The best part is the seconds section where you can get great stuff for a reasonable price. Easy parking. Have lunch at the nearby Seahorse, a hidden gem.

Well worth the visit. Beautiful and original dinnerware. Walking distance to Fish restaurant.

A must visit if you have interest in ceramics and design.

The Sausalito standard shines for tableware. Simply the best in class.

Although small, there are introductions on how to make cups, plates, etc. using clay. About 40 minutes of introduction is not bad.

Heath has Wonderful Sales! Fun and elegant merchandise.
RE: parking - in the rainy season - the parking lot doubles as a daunting swimming HOLE ...and has stopped me from shopping there. That bad...Not kidding. Other than that, Mrs Lincoln...

Beautiful ceramics. One can also get cheaper ones with slight defects on them, that you don't really notice.

Not only tableware but also fashion accessories! There is product of outlet 20off. It is a store that you will want to visit many times. My favorite purchase this time is a leather cover with a skillet handle.

If you're dreaming of bringing Chez Panisse home, this is the place to get your dishes. Definitely love the jade green, white, teal and pomegranate color combos with brown...even more, I know I can bang these dishes around and not have to worry about breaking them very easily. I came on a Thursday so I missed out on going on the factory tour, which I'd love to do sometime. There's a ton of tile to admire. The shop is clean and very well organized. For bargain hunters like myself, there's a clearance shelf with work with mistakes (missed glazings, accidental indentations, etc).

Loved the tour and the intimate feeling of this classic business. I don't like how expensive it has become. You can't help but feel the quirky art has been traded for corporate profit. The best part is looking at the cabinet full of the original ceramics that Edith Heath made herself including all the cute buttons to maximize the use of the ovens.

We have a set of their plates and bowls and love them. 2 years later and the still look as good as the day we bought them. Definitely make a trip to the factory store and get them 20% off if you're in the area.

If you want to decorate your mid-century modern house, this is the place to go to. Beautiful and functional designs that have lasted through time. Classic!

Really beautiful ceramics. My heart broke when I learnt of the price.

Come here for good deals on their very expensive ceramics

They have some incredibly gorgeous glazes, including a speckled lava glaze with two-tone colouring and an interesting texture.

Outlet products are being recycled to the factory shop, so you can buy it cheaply, so if you have items you care about it is bargain. There is no problem to use on a daily basis. There are also tiles and select goods and it's fun

Heath is my happy place. Where art, design, and every day utility intersect.

Ceramics are classic and gorgeous. The tour is great, and I love the discount on seconds!

Great, outstanding, superbestistever ceramics. If you like Heath s unique, modern forms you ll love their work. My only beef is the place is priiiicy.

Dinnerware has been in my family for more than 60 years. Ageless.

The factory in Sausalito is easy to find from the main stretch, nestled by the water in what appears to be a business park. There is a dirt parking lot right out front of the showroom, convenient for carrying heavy boxes of dish sets back to your car. The staff are helpful, but will leave you alone to browse to your heart's content. You are welcome to pick up sample pieces and arrange your own place settings...you get the best ideas for combinations just by wandering around the showroom with plate in hand, putting atop various pieces and re-arranging until you find the perfect set. You can find great deals on second quality pieces here that you can't find in the retail shop in the Ferry Building. You'll easily save a couple hundred by purchasing seconds and you really can't tell the difference. They also run periodic sales and specials. There is also a small gift section with books, jewelry, and other related ephemera.

It is worth doing the factory your and the seconds collection is a great value proposition. Beautiful ceramics.
