Heath Ceramics has been a champion of quality dining and house wares in the Bay Area since 1948. The company was founded by Edith and Brian Heath in Sausalito, CA and today you can find the kiln fired pieces in museums and shops around the country. Not only are heath ceramics, tiling, and furniture made to last--they are art objects that push boundaries and embody the down-to-earth, California spirit. On an average weekend, you can find the ILLUSTORIA staff wandering the Heath Ceramic showroom or perusing their newly opened Newsstand. We're honored to be stocked at Heath, and hope you can join us on Saturday, May 12th, to celebrate the strongest women in our lives — our moms.
