We were lucky to be in town during the weekend of the Heath-wide open-studio tours. We went to the 18th St. location in the Mission District (convenient via #12 municipal bus), and took a tour led by no other than the owner of the company. He gave us a marvelous behind-the-scenes tour of the plant, which now makes the attractive... More

There is no point in going to Heaths without the factory tour. We were there on a weekday which I highly recommend as it is possible to see the processes in a full and working environment. We were escorted by the wonderful Katie, who although she had only been there 6 months really knew her stuff. It was really educational... More

My husband and I received Heathware for our everyday dishes 50 years ago as wedding gifts. Over the years we have enjoyed visiting its Outlet shop to pick up additional pieces to enhance our existing collegtion, tiles, gifts, etc. I can understand the new owners wanting to pursue their own style and direction but those of us with the old...

We hiked over from Fred's, AKA best breakfast in the known universe. It was a lovely walk but there was little to see. If this stuff is special, I sure don't know why. The selection was skimpy and the aesthetic doesn't speak to me. There was nothing to see in the immediate area and we were in and out in... More

Just a quick stop for the store but we enjoyed what we saw. Heath Ceramics make some beautiful, classic pieces which are definitely an investment. Hope to spend more time there and do a factory tour next time.

Was excited to check out this "outlet." It was a hike and a half from the center of Sausalito and the buses were on strike, so I had to take a cab back. Overall, it did feel worth the trip. Nice stuff, but better off getting it online or at the Ferry Building shop.

Heath ceramics are ageless. I still have pieces that my mother bought in the 50's, and the quality has never wavered. It's dangerous for me to go near the showroom, since I can't seem to leave without buying something new.

I bought some beautiful gifts and a few pieces for myself. These are outstanding quality dishes, accessories and serving pieces. We didn't go on the tour although we over heard positive comments from those who had just finished the tour. It's an friendly, locally owned, small business that provides good jobs. Well worth supporting.

We love this place as it has the wonderful Heath dinnerware for a little less expensive price. They sell seconds but really you could hardly tell.
