Handmade Pottery and Ceramics

We are The Urban Kiln, a contemporary handmade pottery and ceramics store in Richmond, Virginia, offering decorative tableware and home decor that reflects the grand celebration of life. Showcasing the work of ceramic artist Shalan Dere, our handmade pottery (stoneware and porcelain), whether it is ceramic tableware or unique home accent pieces is crafted from traditional pottery techniques, then styled with a dash of modern sophistication. Inspired by nature, every piece is handmade and has an unique feel and look!

​

From hands, heart, to your home

The home goods market brims with a monotonous sameness, but The Urban Kiln wants you to have something that is remarkably singular. Our handmade decorative ceramic bowls,  ceramic mugs  and ceramic plates exude the warmth of human touch and the imaginative artistry of the potter. Our dynamic sculptural work ; figures and wall murals add another dimension to your home elevating the aesthetic look. You can see it in the well-formed shape, in every brushstroke, every textural detail, which makes one aware of the immense love and labor that is intrinsic to handmade artisan pottery.

​

Yours to get, yours to gift

The Urban Kiln lauds the remarkable bliss of togetherness—in dining, entertaining, home decor or thoughtful gifting. From vibrantly glazed handmade ceramic cups that carry your favorite tea, to intricately hand painted ceramic dinnerware that serve your heirloom dishes, we bring you the beauty of bespoke, adding a hint of sentiment to your everyday objects.

Here at The Urban Kiln, we blend the aesthetics of modern living to traditional art, giving you the best of both worlds: the warmth of artisan stoneware, and contemporary designs made to be loved by every generation.
