Walnut inserts warm the dark handles of these utility shears, giving an everyday cutting tool a distinctive garden-workbench character. Stainless steel blades and a generous handle shape suit practical trimming and household tasks, with straightforward cleaning and dry storage helping preserve the finish.

“A dedicated pair near the potting bench is my preference, allowing the kitchen scissors to stay in the kitchen.”
-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.
