Artisan Gifts

A thoughtful gift often feels more special when you can see the skill and story behind how it was created. Our artisan gifts celebrate specialist craftsmanship, time-honoured techniques and materials chosen with care. From hand-blown Murano glassware and French Aptware to Italian ceramics, hand-finished photo frames and woven rattan.

Within the collection, you’ll find gifts for the table and home in a wide range of sizes and styles, from colourful glassware and decorative bowls to photo frames, serving pieces and smaller home accessories. These handcrafted gifts are chosen to be enjoyed rather than saved away, whether you are marking a birthday, thanking a host or simply giving something thoughtful.

Handcrafted Gifts Shaped by Specialist Makers

Our handcrafted gifts bring together specialist techniques from makers in areas known for their craft. Murano glass is shaped by hand in the Venetian lagoon, giving each piece subtle variations of colour and form, while French Aptware is hand-painted in Apt, in the south of France, following techniques that date back to the eighteenth century.

Elsewhere, the collection includes Italian ceramics and photo frames finished by skilled artisans, alongside hand-woven rattan pieces created using techniques passed through generations. Small differences from one piece to the next are part of their character rather than something to disguise.

We value this kind of craftsmanship because it gives an object a sense of provenance as well as purpose. A tumbler, serving bowl, frame or tray carries the marks of how and where it was created.

A Considered Approach to Artisanal Gifting

The most memorable gifts combine usefulness with a little individuality: something a person can bring into daily life while still feeling thoughtfully chosen. A pair of Murano glasses might suit someone who enjoys hosting, while a hand-finished frame, serving piece or woven accessory can settle naturally into the home for years to come.

For someone who loves cooking or gathering people around the table, explore our gifts for foodies. Our host gifts bring together thoughtful pieces for lunches, weekends away and other invitations. If you would rather leave the final choice to them, our gift cards offer a simple alternative.

Whichever direction you take, we like gifts that feel personal without being overly precious, and useful enough to become part of everyday life.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you still have some questions please do feel free to get in touch with us.

What makes a gift artisan?

We use artisan to describe pieces shaped by specialist craftsmanship rather than simply produced for decoration. This may involve techniques such as hand blowing glass, hand finishing ceramics, marquetry or weaving, often practised in regions with a long association with that particular craft.

What are some good artisan gifts for the home?

We tend to favour pieces that combine character with everyday usefulness, such as hand-blown glassware, hand-painted crockery, photo frames and woven home accessories. The right choice will depend on how the recipient likes to cook, host or live with the objects around them.

Are handcrafted gifts suitable for weddings and housewarmings?

Very much so. Handcrafted gifts can work particularly well for a new home because they bring individuality without needing to match everything already there. Glassware, serveware and decorative accessories can all become part of daily life rather than being kept only for occasions.

What is Murano glass?

Murano glass is produced in the Venetian lagoon, where glassmaking traditions stretch back centuries. Our Murano pieces are shaped by hand, which means small variations in colour, pattern and form are to be expected and give each piece its individual character.

What is French Aptware?

Aptware is a distinctive marbled earthenware associated with Apt in the south of France. Different coloured clays are combined to create its characteristic patterning, giving each piece subtle variations rather than a completely uniform finish.

Do you offer gift wrapping?

Yes - you can add gift wrapping to your order at checkout. Several pieces, including our Aptware and Murano glassware, also arrive ready gift-boxed as standard.

What can I give if I am unsure what they would choose?

A Rebecca Udall gift card gives the recipient the freedom to choose something for themselves. Our gift cards are available through our dedicated gifting collection and can be a useful option when you’re not sure of their taste, or would simply rather let them decide.
