Our product

Clare Caron Ceramics is all handmade.

This contributes to the unique appearance of each of our individual pieces.

All products are given a final inspection and only those products that meet our rigorous technical and aesthetic standards are designated “First Condition” and made available for our normal On Line sales. However in ordering the product the Customer acknowledges that:
