East Fork earns strong reviews for beautiful, durable stoneware that stands up to daily use—microwave and dishwasher included—while feeling weighty, balanced, and satisfying in hand; standout pieces like The Mug, Everyday Bowl, Coupe Bowl, and Big Mug draw consistent praise. Reviews also flag drawbacks: limited color drops that sell out quickly, noticeable flaws on some Seconds, mismatched glazes across batches, a plate that didn’t fit a standard dishwasher, and occasional breakage or shipping frustrations.

  • Every single one of my dishes is from east fork. It took about 4 years to get to the point where I have enough dishes that I feel comfortable throwing a dinner party. I love everything about this brand: the mission, the products, the community. They are 100% worth the hype

  • I absolutely love my East Fork everyday bowl and have bought other pieces for friends too. Their seasonal colors are also gorgeous — taro, I’m looking at you. We’re lucky to have a brick and mortar locally, but the size chart on their website is one of my favorite things.

    Not something *they* really need to improve, but plastic wrap does not get along with these bowls if you have leftovers.

  • Absolutely gorgeous pieces; love everything I own (two mugs, low bowls, and a platter). I always miss the new colorway drops, but I'm slowly trying to replace my dishware with more East Fork products.

  • Love our Eastfork bowls and plates… great quality and beautiful colors. Timeless and long-lasting. We will probably own for the rest of our lives.

  • Weighty, high-quality ceramics that look great and are a pleasure to use.

  • I’m slowly building my collection of East Fork tableware. They are so delightful to eat and drink out of. And the transparency of the company is unmatched.

  • East Fork is one of the best investments I've made for my home. Not only are the pieces beautiful but they hold up so well for everyday use. Slowly building my collection is has been so fun with their seasonal colors. Also it's so nice to purchase from a company whose values you believe in and that they are so transparent about. Everything they create is intentional and beautiful. Their product curation is also *bomb*. Also as a person that has worked in brand strategy, they have created a community in their customers like I haven't really seen before. I can't wait to see what's next for them!

    I wish I had access to some of the past glazes.

  • We have the coffee mugs and they are the best. They just feel nice and sturdy in your hand.

  • OMG don't even get me started, this pottery company is the best of the best. Very high quality, very much worth every penny. My most precious item in my home :) They look amazing, feel amazing, and I'm just obsessed and tell everyone about this brand.

  • Visited the store while running my errands one day. So glad I went inside the store and loved the beautiful ceramic dinnerware. Each piece that I bought that day, I still adore them and love to display my home baked foods on it for instagram photos.

    I love this brand and their pottery goods for my kitchen. Variety of colors, shapes, and sizes of ceramic goods.

  • Love the smooth matte glazing and the rough edges, really nice texture and color contrast. They feel great while you're using them!

  • One of the standout features of East Fork's pottery is its high quality and craftsmanship. The pieces are handcrafted in small batches using traditional techniques, which gives them a unique, one-of-a-kind feel. I personally appreciate the attention to detail and the care that goes into each piece. It’s worth every penny.

  • My favorite bowls - they're pretty, feel great in hand, fun colors. These are on the expensive side but honestly I'm saving to get more.

  • On November 29, I placed an order using the East Fork promotional offer on the company's website. The order was canceled without explaining the reasons, the offer was changed by increasing the amount of the order. The company refuses to send the order and does not respond to emails at all. But it actively sends its advertising. My impression of the company is spoiled ! Not recommended

  • Great design and quality. Fast shipping, securely packed. Great company who is doing good things for employees, their community and lots of people in general. We got dinner plates, side plates, soup bowls and the Coupe bowls. All are fantastic and solid, but not overly heavy. These look like they’ll be around for decades. Will be ordering the mugs soon.

  • Amazing products, great quality, and design. I love their matte glaze and how thick the plates and bowls are, definitely my favorite ceramics! On the other hand, I am very disappointed by the customer support. I ordered during Black Friday and at the same time, they changed their international shipping provider without giving any notice. I ended up paying the same fees (over $100) I paid for DHL Express on my first order for a slower and lower-quality service on my second one. I am now wondering if they are not making any profit on shipping or trying to recover some of the discounts they did for the Black Friday sale. Paying $104 for a 2-week delivery compared to 7 days with DHL Express for the same price is insane. Overall, I am very disappointed with how they handled that, as they simply said they understood my disappointment. They said their new shipping provider (Passport) was clearer about costs and tracking for customers, which is not true. I won't order again because of how they handled that, too bad.

  • I am in love with my East Fork pottery. It makes me smile to know that each piece was thrown by a potter. That just makes everything look and feel and taste so much better! I buy a new piece or two when new colors are introduced. The newest colors - Orchard and Char - are so warm and earthy. I especially like the Everyday Bowl. It’s perfect for everything! (Add the mug and it’s probably all you need!) I ordered the large mixing bowl (a gorgeous mushroom color) and a bowl that’s just a tad smaller plus mugs and various sized plates. Orders ship right away and I appreciate their attention to detail - the pottery is packed so incredibly well. Unfortunately only one shipment (out of manymanymany) had some breakage but customer service was right there to immediately reship. Thank you!

  • I'm lucky enough to live in ATL where we have a brick and mortar store and it's a MUST visit in the area! I've picked up various pieces and truly they're the pieces people ask me about the most on my tableware shelf. They don't just look good, they're made well! My oldest piece (three years old?) looks just like the day I got it and I'm terrible at taking care of things. My one critique is that the price is a little steep so it's more collect-as-you-go and you have to be on top of emails to get drops because some pieces sell out so fast!

  • I received this brands mug as a gift. It has easily become one of my favorite mugs for tea and hot beverages.

    I love the neutral design of the mug. It will become one of your favorite items in your cabinet!
