Why handmade stoneware for service

  • It is what guests photograph. A handmade cup is part of the room, not a commodity.
  • It is made for daily use. High fired, dense, dishwasher and microwave safe.
  • It is Philippine-made. Made in the Philippines, from a studio we work with directly, so replacements come in the same form and glaze.

Trade orders

Trade orders are welcome: we supply from pieces on hand now, and made-to-order runs open with our gallery on Katipunan. Trade pricing on enquiry.

How a trade order works

  • Tell us your menu sizes, the number of covers or cups, your glaze direction and your opening date.
  • We reply with what is on hand, trade pricing, and a production time for anything made to order.
  • Samples. Buy a sample set, or view the pieces in Metro Manila.
  • Confirm. A deposit starts a made-to-order run; the balance is due before delivery. BPI bank transfer or GCash.
  • Delivery anywhere in the Philippines, quoted with your order and packed by hand; or book your own pickup from Pasig. Spares and replacements on request.

Questions

Yes. AWIS supplies handmade stoneware mugs, cups, bowls and plates to cafés, restaurants, hotels and bakeries. Write to hello@awis.ph with your menu sizes, quantities and opening date, and we reply with what is on hand, trade pricing and production time for the rest.

Espresso cups of 65, 100 and 150 ml, cappuccino cups of about 200 ml, latte cups of about 300 ml, saucers of 15 and 17 cm, and our house mugs from 250 to 480 ml. Milk servers of 60 and 120 ml and pitchers from 350 ml. Tell us your drink sizes and we match forms to your menu.

Yes. Our table line includes dinner and salad plates, soup and pasta bowls, covered bowls, pitchers and a teapot in Sand and Rust, from the same studio as the mugs. Quantities and lead times are quoted per order.

It is high fired stoneware, dense, dishwasher and microwave safe, made for daily use. Like any ceramic, it chips if knocked against hard edges; plan a few spares per form, and we can supply replacements in the same form and glaze.

Each piece is thrown and glazed by hand, so the glaze varies a little from piece to piece. Forms and sizes stay consistent. Many cafés choose a single glaze for the counter, or mix glazes on purpose.

We do not print or engrave logos. The pieces carry only the AWIS mark on the foot.

Yes, trade pricing is quoted per order, and there is no fixed minimum. Write to hello@awis.ph with your pieces and quantities.

Pieces on hand ship within days. Made-to-order runs open with our gallery on Katipunan; tell us your opening date and we tell you what can be ready.

Delivery anywhere in the Philippines is quoted with your order. Or book your own pickup from Pasig at no charge.
