Bought 2 of the “milk bottles” with Seamus Heaney quotes for my sons.
They came beautifully gift wrapped.
They were even nicer in real life and my sons absolutely loved them.
An easy to navigate website, prompt shipping and an all up 10/10 from me - Eva (May 2025)
Fabulous butter dish made with such care. The product feels very special - Catherine (March 2025)
I’m quite amazed at just how much I love this butter dish. I’d been wanting one for ages so took the opportunity of buying one as a 9th wedding anniversary (pottery!) for my husband. The blue green colours and link to the sea was especially appropriate as my husband has taken up sea swimming lately. It’s beautifully made, just the right size, the colours are gorgeous. It came beautifully packaged with a lovely little note inside. Every time I see it in the fridge I get a little warm glow inside. I love it! ( and my husband does too, which is important also, of course!) - Muireann (March 2025)
Quick delivery. Butter dish is just perfect. Small enough and not too big. Beautiful colours. Delighted with my purchase. Will definitely be ordering from Siobhan again.
Thank you - from a very happy customer - Orla (Feb 2025)
Absolutely adorable hearts. Gone to Italy now to their forever home.
Will certainly buy from Siobhain again. - Gerardine (Feb 2025)
The most beautiful pottery lamp I have seen! - Rosaleen (Dec 2024)
Siobhan & Rubi Love the heart and I know the recipient will find it very special, especially being in Irish and made in Cork.
Thank you... - Billy (Dec 2024)

I bought a butter dish for my mum’s birthday and she hasn’t stopped talking about it! It was so beautiful wrapped as well as being a stunning dish. Exactly what she wanted. Thank you so much for the wonderful service, speedy delivery, and beautiful pottery. - Aine (Oct 2024)
Tiny and oh so beautiful. I fell totally in love with the Hearts of Gold Set the very first time I saw it. So I treated myself to it!
It warms my heart every time I see it. - Eleanor (Sep 2024)
I bought a gorgeous ‘Message on a Bottle’ as a gift for my friend. It was
beautifully wrapped with a little piece of lavender on top.
A gorgeous piece and great gift idea! - Orla D (2023)

She says she'll cherish it. Thank you so much Siobhain. x” - Orfhlaith Cronin (Jan 2022)
“Lovely aesthetic pleasure in Siobhain Steele's ceramics. Wonderful
workshop near Rathcormac, and a beautifully presented studio
where one can buy directly from the wide range of items, from practical
butter dishes, vases and espresso mugs to ornamental birds and framed pieces.
Highly recommend.” - Roz Spencer (Nov 2021)
“Siobhan's work is really beautiful - something truly unique for a special gift.
Her Message in a Bottle/Message on a Bottle combination is a very
funky way to personalise a present. Siobhan is a total pleasure to
deal with - couldn't possibly have been more helpful.
I can only highly recommend.” - Caroline Collins.
