Looking for unique wedding favours that won’t be left behind on the table?
Our personalised ceramic dishes make beautiful place settings and wedding favours. Each guest can receive a handmade ceramic keepsake featuring their name, while couples often choose designs displaying their initials, wedding date or a meaningful handwritten message.
Each Forever Note is sent to you carefully packaged in its own velvet drawstring bag and they are perfect for:
• Rustic weddings
• Boho weddings
• Barn weddings
• Country house weddings
• Luxury weddings
• Intimate family celebrations
Many couples also use our ceramic dishes as ring holders, place cards or wedding table decorations.
One of the most meaningful gifts we create is a keepsake featuring the handwriting of someone no longer with us.
A simple note, signature, birthday card message or handwritten “Love Mum” can be transformed into a beautiful ceramic keepsake that preserves precious memories forever.
These pieces are often displayed on dressing tables, bedside cabinets or special memory shelves and provide comfort through a tangible connection to loved ones.
Creating your personalised handwritten ceramic keepsake is simple.
No two pieces are ever identical, making every order truly personal.
Check out the instructions in the photos. Write your handwritten note on plain white paper if possible and email it to us at Hello@clayways.co.uk after you have paid for your order.

Most of our pieces can be personalised with names, dates, handwritten messages, or children’s drawings. You can upload your document on the order form or if you have problems with this, once you’ve placed your order, simply email us the details (and any photos of handwriting) to hello@clayways.co.uk using your full name as the subject line. For the clearest results, please send handwriting on plain white paper using a dark pen. If you’d like to chat through your ideas before ordering, we’re always happy to help — just send us a message.
Every piece is handmade to order in our Cheshire pottery studio, so please allow four weeks for us to create your item plus delivery time. We handcraft, personalise, glaze, and kiln-fire each piece individually — that’s what makes it unique. If you need something for a specific date or occasion, please let us know and we’ll do our best to help.
We offer free shipping in the UK on all orders over £30. All items are carefully packaged and shipped via a tracked parcel delivery service for peace of mind. Your finished piece will be securely wrapped to ensure it arrives safely. We have flat rate delivery costs for the rest of the world and these are shared at the point of order.Â
Most of our ceramics are available in a range of soft, natural glaze colours — see the options on each product page for what’s currently available. Many personalised items can also be finished with a hand-painted gold, silver, or copper gilt edge for an extra touch of elegance. If you have a specific colour in mind for a bespoke order, just ask — we’d love to help.
Every piece of pottery at Clayways is individually handmade and glazed, so no two are ever exactly the same. The photographs on our website are examples of previous work, and your finished piece may vary slightly in colour, pattern, and glaze effects. That’s part of the beauty of handmade ceramics — your piece is completely unique.
Yes — all our functional kitchenware is made from durable high-fired stoneware and finished with food-safe glazes, designed to be enjoyed for years. We recommend hand-washing to preserve the glaze and any personalisation for as long as possible. With gentle care, your piece will stay beautiful through everyday use.

Of course! We’re always happy to chat about colours, finishes, personalisation, or any bespoke ideas you might have. Email us at hello@clayways.co.uk, call +44 (0)7738 629343, or WhatsApp 07738 629343. We’d love to help bring your idea to life.

"Had an absolute blast this morning playing with clay at ClayWays with Tracey. We went as a group of four and after abit of time gathering some inspiration we all got to work. It was such a relaxing time. Chatting, listening to music and creating our pieces. Tracey was so knowledgeable and patient, giving tips and tricks were needed while also letting our creative juices flow and we all managed to make some really lovely pieces. We can't wait go back again to finish them off with paint and glaze. I would fully recommend ClayWays to my friends and family"
