Famed as a kingdom of creativity, Ireland’s first ceramics were crafted around 6,000 years ago, but it wasn’t until the 13th century that the potter’s wheel was first introduced to the country. Traditional Irish pottery is defined into two types: coarse ware and fine ware. Coarse pottery is more widespread and consists of robust and long-lasting stoneware pieces used in everyday activities, such as bowls and jugs, mugs, and vessels for buttermilk and cream. Nowadays, numerous potteries can be found dotted around the nation, each producing the beautiful ceramic items that many visitors take home as cherished mementos of their time on the Emerald Isle. These traditional enterprises use many of the same production methods that have been put into practice for generations, and their skills and products are much-admired world-wide.
Castle Arch Pottery was founded in the fall of 1993 by Ray Power, a Cork native, in Kilkenny's renowned medieval Castle Yard. Each piece of pottery is handmade in small batches on the potter’s wheel, guaranteeing superior attention to detail. The skilled craftsmen create striking, bold carvings and shapes that complement any setting. From heart-shaped bowls and dishes to sophisticated soup bowls and flared mugs and creamers, the designs are authentically inspired by Celtic heritage, featuring an array of knots, fluid wave-like contours, and Newgrange spirals. Ray’s mission is to connect customers to their roots in an original way and provide future heirlooms- a reflection of Ireland's rich tradition of storytelling. Our Castle Arch Pottery products are handmade using only the finest sustainable, lead-free materials and are dishwasher & microwave-safe.
