Owing and operating a successful restaurants is an extremely difficult business venture to get yourself into, especially in a city like New York. There you’re competing with some of the best restaurants in the world, so you have to ensure that the experience that you offer to guests is very memorable. Outside of the food you have to serve, you have to also consider things like your restaurants atmosphere and everything that goes into that, including what type of plates you will serve your food on. Well many restaurants in New York City are going for a more artistic approach with their dinnerware and are using the beautiful pieces from Jane Herold to serve their food on.
Jane Herold runs her own business out of Palisades, N.Y. where she designs and creates her own pottery from hand. All of her pieces are unique and no two are alike. She uses an old-fashioned mechanical kick wheel and an authentic wood-burning kiln that she built herself back in the early 1980’s to produce her pieces. Many restaurants are taking notice of her quality work, and are choosing to use her products to serve their food on. For an artist like Jane, this is a dream come true as she can make a good living selling her art without compromising.
Many restaurants all over the city including The Peninsula’s Clement, The Dutch, Betony, Navy, Semilla, and Bâtard have stocked their kitchens with various serving plates, cups, saucers, and dining plate all made from Jane Herold. Restaurants are choosing to use her work for its simplicity yet sophisticated style; a rustic and “home-made” approach to dinnerware that is certainly very charming. Jane will even design dishes that are custom made to best go with what a restaurants serving. She’ll ask for pictures of food, and then design her work accordingly.
