Unique, playful, eclectic 

Name one thing people might not know about your brand?

We often get questions about the little OTT logo. When designing the Hot Pottery mark we noticed the letters OTT stood out. So we created a secondary mark as little accent on each item. We felt it captures the character of the founders and our product well. We all love a bit of fun and flair, especially when entertaining. We like our hosting to be a little special and always over the top (OTT).  

What is one thing you like to do when hosting a dinner party? 
Is go a bit OTT on the table. I like to give it the full works. Napkins, candles, tablecloths and flowers. So people see you have made a real effort.

Final question, what is one tradition you have when hosting people?
I always make something that doesn’t keep me in the kitchen. Where almost all the prep can be done prior to people getting there. E.g. I do Korean chicken bao buns. I make the Asian slaw and all the toppings before hand and place on the table in our nut bowls or small shallow bowls.
