Hi, my name is Emily de Kersaint Giraudeau. I’m an artist based in Suffolk, UK. My love for enamelware started when I was a kid. My grandma’s kitchen was filled with enamel bowls and pans, teapots and chipped dishes. My grandad’s garage was covered in old enamel signs advertising tobacco or the local mechanic. I studied printmaking at university and then worked as a printmaker for several years before moving to London to support survivors of brain injury in an art studio in Hackney. I started Dish Enamelware whilst on maternity leave in 2024. I can’t believe that a project that started as a creative experiment has turned in to my full time job!

Enamelware is traditional and durable, an icon of the British kitchen and beyond. Each piece is coated with finely ground glass or ‘enamel’ which is fused to heavy gauge steel in a super hot kiln. My designs are made using this process, rather than paint or digital transfers. The result is the rich and glossy colours of traditional enamelware that is so recognisable.
Each piece is made and fired individually, therefore every piece is completely unique!
Please feel free to contact me if you would like to make a big batch order, or commission something special, I’d love to hear your ideas. x

To get the most out of your enamel piece, wash with soap and water and avoid using harsh abrasives. Do not heat to temperatures over 250 degrees. Dry after use.
As the enamelware is handcrafted, you may notice small pin holes on the bottom of each piece. This is part of the firing process and will not affect the product.
Please allow for slight variations in appearance and colour. Each piece is unique andthere will be some artistic differences.
Enamelware is strong and will last a lifetime. It can chip if dropped, but it won’t break. The inner steel layer will naturally oxidise, and will remain safe to use.
