Every uni-laden toast point seems to arrive on handmade plates, but my favorite pieces tend to be the work of one extraordinary potter: Jane Herold.

Herold has made one-of-a-kind stoneware pieces for restaurants all over town, including Semilla, The Dutch, Betony, Navy, The Peninsula's Clement, and Bâtard, to name a few. She manages this production alone, in a former machine shop in Palisades, N.Y., with a mechanical kick wheel and a wood-burning kiln.
