“Their carbon steel pans are my go-to for high-heat cooking. I love that they’re naturally nonstick!” –Jenny VanDerwalker, Housewares Category Manager

Joyce Chen Products

“This collection is a must for Asian-style cooking. I can’t get enough of the stainless-steel dim sum steamer.”

Joyce Chen was a pioneer in Asian American cuisine, introducing Chinese cooking to a Western audience through her restaurants, cookbooks, and television show. Her legacy lives on in the Joyce Chen kitchenware collection, including top-of-the-line woks, bamboo and stainless-steel steamers, sushi-making kits, wooden platters, bamboo utensils, and the best kitchen shears you’ll ever use.

Holcomb and East Fork products

Holcomb

“I’m obsessed with these stunning pieces! It’s like having a work of art in your kitchen.”

Founded by a local father-daughter team, Holcomb creates innovative, beautifully crafted home goods using natural materials and organic textures. Their designs—like a sleek honey jar, condiment server, and carafe—showcase Holcomb’s talent for blending timeless artistry with practical functionality.

Our team especially loves their wood-inlaid mortar and pestle. See it in action and get a delicious basil pesto recipe to make with it here.

East Fork

“The colorways are so cool! From pinch pots to serving platters, there’s something for everyone in the East Fork collection.” 

Based in Asheville, North Carolina, East Fork Pottery was founded by the great-grandson of renowned artist Henri Matisse. Their line of ceramic kitchen essentials—mugs, bowls, plates, and pinch pots—seamlessly brings together contemporary design and everyday utility. Look for new products and colorways during the Kitchen Sale.

It combines the best attributes of a French press, pour-over, and espresso machine—adapting to any grind size with ease and delivering rich, full-bodied flavor. Homemade coffee and lattes, your way. 

Modhome Ceramics

“I’m so thrilled that we carry pieces from such a talented local ceramicist.”

These Salish Sea-blue mugs are made by West Seattle ceramicist Nicole Pepper. You’ll often find Nicole selling her work at the Modhome Ceramics stall in Pike Place Market. Inspired by the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, her pieces feature gorgeous aquatic and botanical designs that bring a little piece of our region into your home.
