Restaurateurs are our heroes. Whether they’re opening small cafes in under-the-radar neighborhoods or high profile venues in big cities, they defy the odds simply by staying open despite mounting costs, finicky customers, fickle tastes, and brutal competition. It’s not a field for the faint hearted. Sometimes, though, food, environment, service and customer fuse to create that perfect vibe, and customers pay attention.

Originally designed in 1960, Heath’s Rim Line was developed for easy stacking and comfortable handling, quickly becoming a favorite ever since. We love its wide rim that shows off a generous strip of natural clay while framing plated food just right. It’s a sophisticated but casual dinnerware line with clean lines and an organic feel, right in line with our love for glazes and letting the natural material of clay do its thing.
