About Us
Timeless Ceramics. Handcrafted in the Heart of Miami.
Roots Miami is a studio dedicated to crafting handmade ceramic-ware with a purpose — to elevate the dining experience through thoughtfully designed, functional stoneware. Founded by ceramicist Darcy Williams, every piece we create blends rustic, Japanese-inspired design with the vibrant energy of Miami.
From full dinnerware sets for restaurants to one-of-a-kind teapots and mugs for your kitchen, our ceramics are designed to bring warmth, intention, and timeless character to your space.
For Restaurants, Cafés, and Coffee Shops
​We specialize in small-batch, custom ceramic-ware for the hospitality industry. Whether you're plating seasonal fare on handcrafted stoneware or serving espresso in something that tells a story, we partner with chefs, owners, and creatives to deliver ceramic pieces that match the tone and identity of your establishment.
Our range includes:
-
Plates, bowls, platters
-
Coffee mugs & espresso cups
-
Sake & wine vessels
-
Teapots, pitchers & matcha sets
-
Vases & planters for decor or tabletop presentation
Each item is handmade in Miami using durable, food-safe materials designed to meet the demands of professional service while celebrating form and beauty.
For the Home
If you're looking for more than mass-produced dishware, Roots Miami offers ceramic pieces for the home that bring a sense of artistry to everyday rituals. Whether it’s your morning matcha or a shared dinner with friends, our work is built to last — and to be loved.
We offer full sets, thoughtful pairs, and unique single items — perfect for gifting, collecting, or simply elevating your favorite daily moments. You can shop ready-made pieces or commission custom sets tailored to your space, lifestyle, or personal aesthetic.

Our Philosophy
We believe in slowing down, creating with care, and forming genuine connections through craft. As a family-owned business, we remain deeply connected to the Miami community — offering our work online and at select local markets where you can meet us, feel the texture of our ceramics, and learn more about our process.
At Roots Miami, no two pieces are the same — because neither are the people who use them.
