This is not just pottery; it is art. We have some items from the Sky collection and they are such a beautiful piece of art! Tea tastes so much better from Haand cups! Im absolutely in love with their work.

We have plates, bowls, and even a couple o shot glasses from Haand that we love. The price is worth the quality; we couldn't be happier.

My fianc and were really excited to find out Haand had a registry after seeing their plates at a local restaurant and loving them. We love supporting local companies and were extremely impressed with everything Haand offered. However, after trying to register with the company we were extremely disappointed. Chris strung us along for over 6 weeks, a phone call and 14 e-mails telling us we could register with their company, asking us for our list and a story about ourselves. After we sent our registry, we never heard back from Chris, even though on our call he promised he could get our registry

My husband and I fell in love with HAAND ceramics at first sight, and knew instantly we had to have it for our wedding registry. Chris and his team were a delight from day one. When they changed the color of the original Cloudware we adored, they made a special batch in the old color just for us. We couldn't be happier.
