About Hsieh Clay SF

Nicole Hsieh creates timeless, handcrafted ceramics that carry a sense of quiet nostalgia and lived history. Influenced by a 1970s childhood surrounded by antiques, vintage textures, and heirloom forms, her work evokes the warmth and intimacy of objects passed through generations. Each piece is adorned with delicate, hand-drawn florals—Dahlias, Dogwoods, Roses—and softly kissed in 22-karat gold luster, adding a touch of opulence to everyday rituals. Made slowly and intentionally, her vessels celebrate imperfection, individuality, and the beauty of things made by hand. Hsieh describes her ceramics as pieces that feel as though they’ve already lived a lifetime—soulful, enduring, and meant to be held, used, and remembered. Read their story
