A spare forged-steel form and rounded handle loops give these six-inch scissors a quiet, utilitarian appeal. Their compact scale suits a drawer of household tools, a wrapping station or the little cutting jobs that arise around the home, with the dark metal supplying all the decoration needed.

“A proper home for scissors matters to me; the simplest task becomes frustrating when the useful pair has wandered away.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Maker / Heritage

Founded in Woodstock, Vermont, in 2012, Farmhouse Pottery brings a working potter’s eye to everyday housewares. Founder James Zilian’s training in ceramics and years designing for Simon Pearce inform the restrained shapes; English studio pottery and the Japanese idea of wabi-sabi inform an affection for visible process and small variations. The signature Silo forms take their lines from Vermont’s farm silos, pairing white glaze with revealed clay. From that starting point, the collection extends into complementary tools and textiles, chosen to make a useful, tactile whole at home.
