It was meant to be a statement piece. Sade had just returned from a trip abroad with a carefully wrapped set of Heath Ceramics dinnerware; minimalist, handcrafted, and quietly luxurious. It wasn’t just tableware; it was identity. Taste. Status. Friends noticed immediately. A few weeks later, someone asked if she could source similar pieces for resale. There was demand. Real demand.
