LERRY ceramics, founded in 2020 by Elke Vanlerberghe, is a Belgian-based brandvknown for its handmade and uniquely designed ceramics. Each piece is meticulously craftedbwith a focus on creativity, quality, and the ability to bring joy.

The ceramic creations are the result of an urge to experiment with clay, decoration techniques, glazes, shape and colour. In her studio in the backyard of her home in Ghent, Vanlerberghe works on the unique visual language of LERRY ceramics by combining smileys, bows and shells with references to Greek and Roman culture.

Inspired by the desire to decorate, adorn, and celebrate, LERRY ceramics explores the art of embellishment and how it can have a transformative effect. Since the Greeks and Romans, the Mayans and Incas, the Egyptians, and the Middle Ages, humans adorn buildings, objects, and even themselves to elevate the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Homes and churches were decorated, utensils embellished, people dressed up, things were framed, put on pedestals, inaugurated, theatricalised. Today, there is still the urge to make things prettier than they are. Think of the red carpets, weavings, moulures, patterns, colours, jewels...

In its unique way, LERRY is doing the same with seemingly ordinary objects.
