All our ceramic tableware is handcrafted in our Montreal workshop. Each piece may be slightly different from one another, without affecting its organic, aesthetic, and functional character.
MANUFACTURING
Ceramics do not obey urgency. They follow their own slow and necessary rhythm. Rushing the material risks deforming or cracking it.
Each piece goes through numerous stages: throwing, initial drying, trimming, then more drying time. Then come glazing, sanding, and, in between, finally firing.
A ceramic piece requires a minimum of two firings. Each firing takes nearly 48 hours—from the moment the piece enters the kiln until it can be removed, transformed.
And in a kiln, space is limited. Certain shapes, like plates, take up a lot of space and require reducing the number of pieces per batch.
It's a slow process, yes—but it is precisely this time that gives each piece its strength, uniqueness, and beauty.
LEAD TIMES
Maison Stoï is run by a small team.
Every object that leaves the workshop is entirely handmade, at an artistic pace, guided by the material.
Some pieces are available immediately. Others need to be produced. Between these two states—ready and upcoming—all the necessary time for their creation unfolds.
Depending on the period and the nature of your order, a production delay may be expected, generally between 1 and 8 weeks. Some shapes, which are more in demand or more demanding, require more time—to be thrown, dried, glazed, and then fired with precision.
To order a piece is to enter into an artisanal rhythm.
It is choosing an object that is not simply taken, but awaited.
Here, time is not an obstacle—it is an integral part of the experience.
PROCESSING & SHIPPING
When items are in stock, orders are prepared and shipped within 1 to 5 business days.
REFUND & EXCHANGE POLICY
Each Maison Stoï item is carefully crafted, following a conscious and limited production approach. For this reason, certain conditions govern returns and refunds.
REFUNDS
Refunds are not offered for the following items:
– ceramic tableware
– earrings
– skincare products (creams, deodorants, etc.)
– custom orders
– items on sale
– any item showing signs of use
For other products, returns are accepted within a reasonable timeframe.
In-person returns are preferred. Returns by mail remain the responsibility of the customer, and initial shipping costs are non-refundable.
If an item received does not meet your expectations and falls into the categories above, we invite you to contact us promptly. Depending on the situation, a gift card equivalent to the purchase value may be offered.
EXCHANGES
Exchange requests are accepted within 30 days of receiving your order.
If a ceramic piece breaks during normal use within this period, it may be exchanged upon presentation of proof of purchase (invoice or order number).
Beyond this period, exchanges are no longer possible. Ceramics remain a living material, sensitive to daily handling and unforeseen circumstances beyond our control.
NOTE ON MANUFACTURING
Our pieces are handmade, one by one.
Despite all the care taken at each step, slight variations or imperfections may exist — they are an integral part of the object's character.
In rare cases, a weakness may be present. When it exists, it usually manifests in the first few weeks of use. This is why we consider a 30-day period as representative of the initial durability of the piece.
