Heritage in the Making: The Story of Castle Arch Pottery
Located in the shadows of the medieval Kilkenny Castle, Castle Arch Pottery is more than just a studio—it is continuing the ancient Irish tradition of craftsmanship. Founded by Ray Power in 1993, our pottery was born from a desire to bring the rugged beauty of the Irish landscape into the heart of the home.
Starting in a small workshop at the Castle Yard, we have spent over three decades perfecting the balance between old-world techniques and modern functionality.
Inspired by the Elements
Our designs don't just happen; they are inherited from the textures and tones of Ireland’s rich heritage. When you hold a piece of Castle Arch, you are feeling the influence of:
Celtic Symbols. Many of our collections feature embossed patterns inspired by the intricate stone carvings found on ancient Irish monuments.
The Glaze Palette: Our signature glaze like the Glas Green are designed to mirror the shifting colors of the Irish sky and the wild Atlantic coast.
The Human Touch: Every piece is hand-thrown on the potter’s wheel. This ensures that while our collections are cohesive, no two pieces are ever identical, giving each bowl and mug its own unique character.

What our Customers say

  • Lori C USA

    We ordered 3 beautiful pieces and had the the shipment sent out to arrive after we got home from our trip. Absolutely gorgeous. I am drinking from the mug at this very moment. Love the creativity and skill that went into this.

  • Sarah Kenny, Tennerife

    Having bought a blue and white tall vase from Castle Arch Pottery a few years ago, which makes a flower display look very beautiful, I went back recently to order a six person, three piece Heritage dinner set.
    Packaged safely (I collected myself) and travelled well (I brought the whole dinner service abroad).

  • Shirley Webber, Australia

    I ordered some pottery as a gift from Australia and I am very happy with the service. My mugs arrived very tightly wrapped with no issues. To anyone worried about ordering from overseas - I had a pleasant experience and goods arrived safely.
    Absolutely love my beautiful mugs.
