We thank you for shopping and supporting our small family business. We design and make small batch ceramics in Vancouver, BC, Canada, if an item you order is in our inventory we will process your order within 48 hours.

Please note: Due to the nature of hand made ceramics, the item you receive will not be the exact item photographed on the site. All items are thoughtfully crafted by hand and will vary in the glaze drips, surface slip decoration and wood grains from the photographs in this nature but not in the quality, shape, colour or dimensions listed on our site. If you have further questions, please contact us at info@espiritu.ca

Most of the items available to order on our site are Made to Order, once we confirm your choices on custom pieces please allow 4-6 weeks for us work our magic and make it!
