We’ve been keeping a secret around here and finally, the secret is out!

Our team has been working behind the scenes on a brand-new colorway. After months of getting it just right, we’re thrilled to introduce Siena!

Siena is warm, earthy and wonderfully cozy. Its rich terracotta-inspired tone brings to mind Virginia red clay, beautiful sandstone landscapes, a cup of chai at your favorite coffee shop, or a walk through the woods in early autumn.

In other words, Siena feels like home.

Pair Siena with Moss, Ivory and Baltic colorways, or create a whole table in Siena by itself. Siena is now available in all your favorite Brookline pieces, from dinnerware and mugs to serving pieces and oval trays.

What does Siena make you think of?

The crisp air outside is reminding us fall is right around the corner! Come to the Outlet Store this weekend for 30-60% off retail prices on our studio seconds, overstock, and more! We define a studio second as a perfectly functional piece of pottery that has a cosmetic flaw deeming it 'second' quality - this could be a small dent, discolored glaze, staining under the glaze, warping, etc. nothing that makes it unusable just more unique! Open Thursday - Saturday 10am - 4pm. See you soon!
