Small-batch · Berry, New South Wales
A tight range of linen, ceramics and timber. We add slowly and only when a piece has earned it.
Shop the range
Six pieces. We add slowly, and only when something earns its place.
Heavyweight French flax, garment washed, hand-hemmed.
Matte oatmeal glaze, wheel-thrown. Dishwasher fine.
Solid oak, hand-finished, ages into a patina.
Long-staple cotton, dries fast, folds flat.
Turned brass, weighted, takes a standard taper.
Australian wool, brushed finish, generous double.
Kentworth started on the south coast with a short list of things we couldn't find made well enough to keep.
We work with a handful of makers directly and run small — forty pieces, sometimes fewer. When it's gone we wait for the next firing rather than substituting something lesser.
Everything has been used in our own homes for a season before it went on the site.
Most of this improves with use, provided you don't fight it.
Cold machine wash on a gentle cycle, line dry in shade. Skip fabric softener — it coats the fibre and stops it breathing. Expect it to soften for about twenty washes.
Dishwasher safe, though handwashing keeps the glaze brighter over years. Don't go fridge to oven; thermal shock cracks stoneware, not age.
Hand wash, dry standing up. Re-oil every few months with a food-safe oil. Never leave it sitting in water.
Air it more than you wash it. When it does need washing, wool cycle or cold hand wash, dry flat out of sun.
Most metropolitan orders arrive in 2–4 business days from Berry. Regional and remote addresses can take up to a week. Tracking is emailed as soon as it's attached.
Not at the moment. We post within Australia only.
Unused and unwashed, within 30 days, yes. If a piece fails in ordinary use we'll replace it regardless of how long you've had it.
Most of them. Where a piece is made overseas — the linen in particular — we say so on the product and we've visited the mill.
Usually, though small runs mean gaps of a few weeks. The maker sets the pace, not us.
Yes. Paper tape, cardboard and paper void fill — no plastic in the box.
Questions about an order, a piece, or how something's made — we read everything and reply within a business day.
