Bespoke + Custom

Let’s make something together.

Whether you’re looking to customize an existing design or create something entirely new, we’re thrilled to partner with you in crafting the perfect piece.

From lighting fixtures to dining sets and decorative vessels, we look forward to collaborating with you!

Work in process at Rory Pots

A custom piece is about collaboration. It's where we get to bring you into our world and create something that becomes a part of your daily life.

A key part of this process is getting to know you. We want to understand your needs, how you move through the day, what you're drawn to and, most importantly, how this piece falls into all of it. You don't need to have an exact idea of what you're after. We’ll guide you through every step.

How it works

  • What room is it for? What is your aesthetic? Do you have a specific budget or dimensions? We love mood boards and inspiration pics to reference as we design!

  • From the information you provide, we will sketch 5-10 options for you to choose from. You choose your favorites and provide us with feedback about what you liked best and what drew you in.

  • We provide two final sketches based your thoughtful feedback that refine the design we’ve discussed.

  • Once a design is chosen, we decide on the finishes and the piece moves into production at our standard 10-12 week lead time. If you choose not to move forward with us, the standard design fee will apply.


We offer two options for custom work:

  1. Custom Adjustments to Existing Designs:  If you have a specific design from our current collection in mind and would like to make adjustments to it, we can accommodate those changes for a 20% custom fee. This option allows for modifications to size, color, or other features of our existing collections. This fee is calculated as a percentage of the product cost as listed, ensuring that we allocate the necessary resources to bring your custom creations to life with the utmost care and attention to detail. 

  2. Bespoke Designs:  For a fully bespoke piece, we charge a design fee of $150 per hour. This fee covers the time spent on conceptualizing and designing your unique piece to your exact specifications and design needs. Should you decide to not move forward with the design, you are still liable for all design time accrued. Should you choose to move forward with the final design, this fee will be integrated into the total price of the custom piece. We take great pride in crafting bespoke creations that reflect your individual style and specific design requirements, ensuring that every piece is tailored to your needs.

We started Rory Pots with a love for relationship - first with clay and second with those that live with our pieces, incorporating them into their home as heirlooms.

Please reach out to us for any custom project requests or inquiries – we'd love to hear from you!
