About
Siddeley Ceramics
The story began unexpectedly.
During a trip to Nicaragua with his wife, Kayo, Siddeley found himself staying at a remote ranch, surrounded by horses, birds and an extraordinary volcanic landscape.
Away from the pace of everyday life, he discovered a collection of ceramics handcrafted by artisans that reflected the place in which they were crafted. Each design felt symbolic of the community in which they were created.
Having spent much of his career shaping gardens and landscapes, he recognised in the ceramics a visual language that was already familiar; the beauty of natural materials, the importance of proportion and texture, and the idea that an object can feel simultaneously composed and entirely organic.
What began as an encounter with a handful of beautiful objects soon became something more ambitious.
The pieces immediately resonated with Siddeley.
Rather than simply bringing the ceramics home, Siddeley began working with the Nicaraguan artisans to develop the forms, proportions and finishes into a new collection conceived specifically for contemporary interiors.
The result is a considered body of work that remains deeply rooted in its origins while speaking to a more modern aesthetic.
Made by hand in the heart of Nicaragua
Each piece is made by skilled artisans in the heart of Nicaragua from locally sourced volcanic clay.
Shaped by hand and fired using traditional techniques, the ceramics retain the subtle variations created by the material, the maker and the fire.
No two pieces are quite alike, an inherent irregularity that is celebrated.
This is central to the philosophy of Siddeley Ceramics: objects with soul, made by hand and entirely unique.
“The collection is a modern take on classical patterns and nature; embracing the naturally imperfect to create designs that are chic, authentic and unique.”

A Dialogue Between Earth and Artisan
The collection balances modern restraint with a sense of cultural and material depth. Organic forms sit alongside quietly graphic details; softly undulating surfaces contrast with more structured silhouettes.
There is also an unmistakably architectural quality to the collection. A vessel becomes an exercise in proportion and volume. A textured surface evokes stone or volcanic earth. Light catches against an imperfect edge, revealing the traces of the hand that made it.
The connection between landscape and object is fundamental. In a garden, Randle Siddeley works with stone, soil, water, planting, weather and light, materials that change, age and acquire character over time. Siddeley Ceramics brings that same sensibility indoors.
Their surfaces invite touch. Their forms respond to light. Their imperfections reveal their provenance.
These are objects intended not simply to occupy a space, but to become part of it.
At the heart of Siddeley Ceramics is a simple belief: the most beautiful interiors are not necessarily the most perfect, but those that carry a sense of place, personality and story.
Siddeley Ceramics brings that story from Nicaragua to London, celebrating the land, the hands and the traditional techniques behind every piece, while creating objects that feel entirely at home in the contemporary interior.
