Founded by David Hess—a design engineer, transplant survivor, and self-taught ceramic artist—this shop blends function and creativity through handcrafted pottery, clay-crafted earrings, and custom epoxy pieces.
Handcrafted in New Orleans. Made to Be Collected.
Designed to echo the iconic silhouette of the Louisiana Superdome, the Sugardome™ is a handmade ceramic sugar bowl that blends form, function, and heritage. The lid features a raised fleur-de-lis finial, sculpted and glazed by hand, while the body’s unique curves pay tribute to the city’s architectural beauty and resilience.
Each Sugardome is:
Individually wheel-thrown and signed by the artist
Fired to cone 6 for lasting durability
Hand-glazed with natural variation—no two are alike
Stamped with a serial number and batch record for authenticity and collectability
Whether it’s the centerpiece of your brunch table or a conversation starter in your kitchen, the Sugardome is a soulful piece of Southern pottery, rooted in legacy and shaped with love.
