About Utility Objects

Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Utility Objects is a small batch ceramics studio by Afro-Latina ceramicist Aleisha Duchateau. In her one-woman studio, she blends organic textures and glazes to create contemporary, handcrafted pieces. Each work celebrates the inherent beauty of clay and the handmade, often featuring distinctive satin rock-like textures paired with earthy tones and pops of color. Utility Objects' designs draw inspiration from the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi to the playful splatterware techniques of 18th-century Europe. From these diverse sources, Aleisha crafts unique pieces for everyday use and artful delights. Returns Policy All of our ceramic home goods are small batch handmade to order.
