I’ve been obsessed with English dairy slabs for a long time!
Many years ago, I saw antique English dairy slabs displayed in a beautiful kitchen, which happened to be featured in a popular interior design magazine.
At the time, I was already collecting English advertising pots, and after discovering these century old dairy slabs, I became obsessed with trying to find one to add to my collection.
Unfortunately, this was not easily done!
My mission to find an authentic antique English dairy slab was pretty futile.
I searched everywhere……flea markets, auctions sites, and antique stores, but I never found one, and I searched for years.
While visiting the Peabody Hotel in Memphis for the Thanksgiving weekend, hubby and I decided to take a day and do a little antiquing in the local antique shops.
I was totally shocked when I found TWO of these elusive dairy slabs sitting on a shelf inside one of the shops that we visited.
If you missed my previous post about this rare find, you can read about it here.
I’m still in shock that I found two authentic antique dairy slabs, a CHEESE and a PURE BUTTER slab, at a fraction of the price of what they are worth.
They are two of my most cherished finds, and finding those two set me on a mission to find more, because I love the way they look stacked on a kitchen counter.
What exactly are antique dairy slabs?
Antique dairy slabs were originally made from ironstone in England during the Edwardian period, dating to the late 1800’s – early 1900’s.

They were used in grocery stores and markets for margarine, butter, lard, meats, and cheeses.
The ironstone slab would keep the products cool while stored inside the dairy cases.
Of course, the black typography on each slab is the icing on the cake.

Highly sought after as a collectible, they are a true rarity to find one today, and they can sell for thousands of dollars. Yes, you heard that right, thousands of dollars.
For years, I searched for reproductions of these rare dairy pieces, hoping to just “get the look”, since I couldn’t find the real deal.
Over the years, I only found one company making reproduction dairy slabs.
The company happened to be in England, and they were constantly sold out.
I would check every few weeks, but I was never lucky enough to catch them in stock.
However, I’m still looking for more to add to my collection!
They are a bit like potato chips….you can’t have just one!
They are so much fun to stack several together or top with a glass cloche!
They make beautiful serving or display pieces, and add the perfect whimsical charm to your kitchen.
The slabs have iconic typography on the front such as “CHOCOLAT”, “CHEESE”, “FROMAGE”, “SAUSAGE”, “PURE BUTTER”, “CHARCUTERIE”, and “BUTTER”.
So, what you think about these dairy slabs? Are you enamored with them now like I am? How would you use one in your home?
Cheers, Cindy
Would like to know cost on cheese and pure butter 7 and 9 inch risers
Monica, you can order them directly from https://www.etsy.com/shop/livingsoulpottery
We own a very rare Antique English Dairy slab. Do you have any suggestions as to how we would sell it and get the best price?
Thanks, Rick & Vanessa Mitchell
The best way to get the highest price for it would probably be to sell it through a site such as 1st Dibs (www.1stdibs.com). You could sell on eBay, however it probably won’t bring as much as it would on 1st Dibs. I hope this helps!
Hello… where have you been all my life? So excited to have found your site.. information on the ironstone slabs please.. all sizes and types.. thank you, e
Hi Elizabeth! Just sent you an email!
I am interested in the 7 and 9 inch chocolat and cheese ones as pictured with the cloche. Love your site!
Kerry, I’m sending you an email!
I would like to hear the pricing for the 7 and the 9 inch rounds, please
Kathy, I’m sending you an email!
I am interested in the cheese and chocolate slabs in 7″ and 9″ size. I love reading your blog and the beautiful photography.
Donna, I just sent you an email with the info.
Oh Cindy! Such a fabulous idea … lovely reproductions! Since spending $thousands is not in many of our price ranges, good reproductions are most welcome. The piece I notice in your collection was a lovely pot titled “Herbes du Provence” … is it available? Thank you for sharing your life and treasures, I always look forward to your postings! — Jan Duda
Hi Jan! The Herbes de Provence pot isn’t available, however we do get them in our online shop periodically.
Hello, I am interested in the cheese and chocolate ones. Please send me the information. Thank you. They are so beautiful!
Hi Patti! I just sent you an email with all of the info!
Fabulous! so glad you are offering these!
This is so cool. I’m interested in 7” cheese and a 9” chocolate dairy riser. I need to know the prices before I order. Thanks!
Mildred, just sent you an email!
Oh I love these slabs so much! I’ve long wanted one or if I’m honest more than one! So unique….they add so much to a home….I can think of so many ways to display,,,,
I can think of so many uses for this dairy slab, but we have an upcoming wedding at the end of May, it’s a rustic theme, and this would be perfect for the Charcuterie table. Thanks for always inspiring me with all of your beautiful things, and I very much enjoy your blog posts!❤️
The dairy slabs are really attractive! Love how they mix with collections of ironstone, and European advertising pieces – would really enjoy adding one to my collection!
I’ve searched forever for one of these pure butter small slabs ! So excited to learn someone is reproducing them beautifully I might add ❤️
I love these! I have been in Houston for a week and missed your posts 🙁 I would have loved to seen Wyatt’s work. Just catching up on my emails and missed the give-a-way too! Houston is so awsome! You really have some valuable pieces.
Oh Cindy, I have looked too and have NEVER found one around here. I would LOVE to win this and add it to my kitchen! Thanks for the info and background of Living Soul Pottery!!! Hope you are having a great weekend.
I love these slabs, and I love the name of his company. Yes, God made each of us living souls.
I think the pottery slabs would look superb for presentations. My favorite idea would be to place my grand babies birthday cakes on them. Recently my daughter named me her official baker, so a base like this slab would be ideal for my grandson Sawyer’s second birthday in August.
Thank you for all you share! Such a breath of fresh air!
Luly Pérez
I would LOVE one of these dairy slabs. I just remodeled my kitchen and it would look perfect on my counter!
Good luck to all who would treasure this dairy slab made by a very talented man! When not being used as a serving piece, I would use this slab as a base for seasonal decorations on the built-in hutch in our breakfast area.
These are truly unique and I had never heard of them before. They would add to any deco especially my collection of white stone ware crockery.
I’ve been searching for one of these as a special gift for my sister. She just moved into a new home & it would be the perfect accessory to add character to her kitchen. Thank you for sharing your source so others can enjoy these wonderful pieces!
Like you, I have looked longingly at these slabs for months…years. Thank you so much for passing this information along. I would so proudly display one (or more, if I can afford it) in our kitchen that we’re very, very, very slowly redoing, as we are with the rest of our 1989 beauty, which was virtually untouched since it was built. So glad I found your blog!!!! Gorgeousness everywhere.
Love these and would love to have one.
I would put the slab on my kitchen counter and probably put one of my antique ironstone pitchers on it to hold a summer flower arrangement
My in-laws have had a dairy most of the[r life. I’m sad to say my Mother in law just passed away. I would have loved asking her about the dairy slabs and if she had ever had one or saw anything like it in her dairy community. I would use it to display any kitchen item or vase with flowers. I would be thrilled if I won! Thanks for the chance!
I’d love to win one! I would display it with my white ironstone pitchers.
Love your decor and unusual items added into French style!!
Oh my, how lovely these are! I am an avid collector of many things and a graduated stack of these are now on my want list! Besides being treasured and displayed, I would also use them when entertaining. When serving appetizers, I like to stack breadboards to elevate them at different heights. A cheeseboard is always served and on a cheese slab would be perfect! Ohhh, the possibilities! Wishing all good luck!
Thanks for sharing the dairy slabs info. Ive wanted one for years!
I have never seen the dairy slabs but now I’m hooked!!! Thank you.
Like you, I’ve searched for years to find one of these slabs, but unlike you, I’ve never come across one. Kudos to you for finding not one but two. Needless to say, I’m thrilled to know of this company! A Texas company at that!!! I live in Austin!
I have my fingers and toes crossed that I might be fortunate enough to be the lucky one. But I’m off to see what I might order in the mean time. Thanks for the opportunity!
How would I use one? I have a collection of antique French mustard pots, some English creamery crocks, and a group of cow creamers. I’d one a slab to use as a base for a vignette on my table. Oh, my mind is already churning as to what might be. Thank you to Wyatt and to you for this giveaway!
Yes! Id love this stand!! Serving cheese of course and as a stand for florals! Fresh flowers are a must in my kitchen!
I love love love these pieces! It would be hard to choose, as I like you have always wanted to find an original. I have a cloche that would be a great topper to one of these! Thank you for the opportunity
As a collector, I always enjoy making connections with antiques and antique reproductions through the history of each item and/or the person who owned or created the item. I have found connections to be a grand part of hunting and collecting. Such is the story of this gifted creator and his remarkable creations. I can imagine how lovely this white and black cheese slab would look on my kitchen counter with my collection of copper pans.
I would so love to win this slab…..Thanks Stanna
Thanks. Would use with my cheese boards.
Had never seen or heard of these dairy slabs before and now I don’t how I will live without one (or several!)
Fantastic story, and beautiful creations. He makes lovely pottery and not only are they pretty, they are useful too! Wonderful to arrange fruit and vegetables and of course fromage et buerre! I need one!
How very interesting! I have never heard of or seen a dairy slab before. I would love to have one and I know just what I’d do with it. I have started a small collection of cow figurines and I think they would look wonderful displayed under a cloche on a dairy slab. I just need to win that dairy slab!
Thanks for this fascinating and informative post, Cindy.
Thank you for all the great info on these dairy slabs. I think it is great they are being reproduced!
You have a most elegant blog. I would love to have a slab on my kitchen counter.
Must have them all:)!! Cheryl
They are Beautiful! Love The Scripture! My Daughter is a Watercolor Artist! Sarah is alway’s Collecting wonderful Antique Kitchen Collectables! She and her young son, use a Wooden French Press, to make pot’s for growing seed’s for planting! Made from New’s Paper! She and her husband are celebrating 9 year’s of Marriage! I would give this Beautiful gift
to them! Thank you! Rose m Storm
Thank you for the opportunity to win this artisan production of a chees dairy slab…so impressive and beautiful..my 6 year old granddaughter is paralyzed on her left side …therapists have used the magic of clay to strengthen her right hand…magic !
Oh, Cindy, I have loved these dairy slabs for years, and you’re right! They’re nearly impossible to find. I was lucky enough to get one, a “pure butter” oneseveral years ago. Over the time I’ve had it, I’ve used it for different things. Right now, I keep it on my counter holding my salt pig, pepper grinder, olive oil and a few spices. Whenever I have a party, it’s always used to serve cake. So excited to know about someone making them now. The giveaway is awesome and some lucky winner will be very excited! Have a great holiday weekend!
Love these! Another lovely post. Thanks, Cindy!
I’ve never seen these dairy slabs before but what a fabulous find! Love them already. Thanks for sharing this discovery with us.
Hi Cindy! Wow! I love these slabs and learned quite a bit about them from your lovely post. I especially like them with those great cutting boards. I would feature mine on a small slab of marble in my kitchen, topped with one of my many cow creamers. Happy Memorial Day weekend! Hugs, Pat
I’ve been looking for a slab I could afford. I love the way they look in a kitchen and that’s the way I’d use them. I’m glad to know about Living Soul Pottery.
I am sneaking in right under the wire ! I love them and think it would be great to use for kitchen design I have a daughter – in-law who is also a High School art teacher and is in love with pottery she gifted me with a great piece for Mothers Day. Thanks for the opportunity! !
Denise
These are beautiful, I have never heard of a dairy slab before! I think I would do something similar, too them with a cloche or a vase of beautiful flowers!
These are beautiful, have never seen them before. Love the history!
I have never seen these before, they are beautiful and I I’ve the history. Definitely on my island with a glass cloche. Love your blog!
Would look wonderful on kitchen counter with pieces of ironstone and fresh flowers
Thank you for bringing these to the US by way of Living Souls Pottery Shop. They are wonderful and the pefect accect for a kitchen island, buffet or picnic table. I absolutely love them. I often wish I could fly to Paris to shop the flea but this may be even better. I can not wait to make several purchases for my modern french conntry home.
So enjoying both your Etsy shop and beautifully done photos on your blog. I was immediately drawn to your shop’s name, I have an Aunt Edith and an Aunt Evelyn. I love your Marian items and have my eye on a few of your crowns. I really appreciate the blending of faith and artistry in your work and Wyatt’s. Just moved to a new place and will be adding a couple of these slabs to my collections. Super easy way to add height to a buffet dinner. God Bless!
I had never heard of these before. Very interesting and informative article. Thanks! Now I will keep an eye out for these at antiques stores.
Definitely displayed on the kitchen counter under a cloche! What a find!!
A beautiful piece of history to touch the soul.
What a wonderful story about finally finding your dairy slabs. I know I’ve seen them in photos but I was not sure of their purpose. As always, you present your slabs so beautifully!! It would be fun to serve cheese on a slab to my friends when we get together to make jewelry. Thank you for all your inspiration!
SO happy to learn these can be had without scouring fleas and shops (although THAT is lotsafun). Need to add to the solid rock maple hutch with cottage gingerbread that was recently found in a thrift shop. My other ironstone would be SO happy for the addition.
I love the slabs, but the heart felt meaning of them is amazing! I have a little angel by my kitchen sink that each morning I say a good morning prayer to get through another day, I would put her on it, and draw from the strength of those two items, and smile.
Win or loose, thank you for sharing.
I have a small colleciton from many years ago of advertising art used in country stores. Since then my style has changed, ‘tho I still love the statement. I would place a dairy slab on the black unit with a butcher block top that I now use as an island in my kitchen (‘tho it was formerly used in my craft room). What fun life can be with new outlooks. Thanks for the opportunity to possibly win such a fun and meaningful piece.
I absolutely love those slabs. If were to win, I would use it for display on my kitchen peninsula and also for a cheese platter for parties.
I never knew about these dairy slabs. They are fabulous! I would use one to display so many different things, probably with a glass or chicken wire dome of some kind. Thanks for highlighting them.
I was not familiar with the antique slabs. Reading this article to learn about them, knowing the artist you found is from my old stomping grounds AND that the foundation of his company is built on The Creator thrilled me! ❤️✝️. Thank you for the chance to win!
A dairy slab seems to be such a sweet and versatile item that I would love to own one. I have an 18″ tall clear glass dairy bottle that was displayed for decades in an old country mercantile; I fashioned it into a lamp which lights up a wall on my kitchen counter. A 9″ dairy slab would store beautifully as a riser beneath its 7.5″ base. But only when my dairy slab wasn’t displaying seasonal fruits and dairy treats in my dining room. Thank you for this sweet opportunity. Best regards. Chasya
I never miss reading your posts and I have always liked the ironstone slabs and would love to have one . Thanks , Cindy .
What an uplifting story about finally finding a source for your beloved dairy slabs. I know I’ve seen them in photos but I admit I never realized their role. I know I would enjoy using your prize offering to serve cheese to friends. Not sure where I would display it in my home but I am sure that it would find a place of prominence. Got my fingers crossed thanks for the giveaway!
I think these are so timeless. The scripture and the story behind these make them even more special.
Love these slabs I would use it on my kitchen island with a cloche
I’ve always admired these in your posts, but didn’t know what they were! Thanks for the very interesting information. They’re so lovely. I love the sentiment behind Wyatt’s pottery. He must be a wonderful teacher as well as Potter!
Love these! One would fit beautifully into our kitchen! We eat a LOT of butter and cheeses in our keto lifestyle.
These are fabulous! I’d love to add one to my ironstone collection.
Oh my !!! I love cliches and this would be fantastic!!
I would love to have a cheese slab in my kitchen! I would place it with pride on my prized antique butcher block table in the middle of our kitchen. Thank you for such a wonderful opportunity.
Now that I know what they are, I’d love to have one!
I bought and sold a few of antique slabs during my 40 year career as a antique dealer…BUT I didn’t keep one. These are definitely collectible since they are handmade. And I want one!!!! Love your blog
I have been in love with the slabs since I first saw them in magazines stories of Mary Emmerling’s home! I can’t believe that Living Souls Pottery has them at such a reasonable price! I would love to own one. I even made my kitchen black and white. The center of my kitchen island would be the perfect spot for any slab. The ideas are too numerous to list, but you could place fresh green apples on it…the combination of black, white and green is gorgeous! Thank you for this opportunity!
I LOVE the slabs and have been on Living Soul’s waiting list for quite some time. I would be thrilled if I won!
Beverly, I have all new stock ready for sale. I am sorry I may have missed you on the Waiting List. Come by my Etsy Shop and find what you like. Wyatt of Living Soul Pottery
Wow, amazing find! So beautiful and fun for display and serving! I am very excited!
I always enjoy your post. I have even asked a question or two about your post and you always take the time to answer. Thank you for sharing advice and your willingness to be a teacher of design. I too would love to display one of these slabs in my kitchen.
Oooh, I love those dairy slabs! It would definitely have a cloche sitting on it at some point and would make appearances in lots of areas of my home. Thanks for the info and the giveaway. So excited!
Awesome repros. , Love when a company honors the treasures of the past.
I have an unfitted kitchen style and these fit my style and kitchen.
I so love anything Frernch, Artisan and I would love to add this to what imagine will be a beautiful thing. I love your blog and check all the links !!
I LOVE these slabs. I have been on the lookout for them and have never run across one. So glad that Wyatt is making these. I would use this as intended, for cheese with a cloche covering it. Thank you for the giveaway and to Wyatt for being so generous!
They are gorgeous, who wouldn’t want to win. Thank you for the web site info
I recently moved to Wisconsin after half a lifetime near Philadelphia. It’s all about cheese here! And we love it !! One of these stands would look perfect in my black and white kitchen. Thanks!
Gorgeous! Love the inspiration behind the company.
I too have loved looking at the slabs in magazines for years. I have never found an authentic antique one that I could afford, but have never stopped looking! These are beautiful and I love that the name of the company has such meaning behind it. I would certainly love one of their slabs in my china cabinet holding some sort of antique blue and white treasure that I have found over the years! Have a blessed day.
Cindy- all I can say is I am one Living Soul that would love to own a Living Soul dairy slab:). Thanks for the opportunity.
We recently finished the remodel on our kitchen and now have a beautiful marble-topped island on which one of Wyatt’s Dairy Slabs would look fabulous. I love the pictures you posted using various pieces – I have so many ideas I want to try. Thank you for the story behind his craft and this wonderful opportunity to win one.
Oh my! These are so lovely! I would love to win one of these beauties Thank you so much for sharing!
I have been searching for years for these. I will support anyone who loves the Lord and is brave enough to put his name and scripture on their items, since it is so rare these days to find Christians. I would cherish this slab just like I cherish my relationship with Christ. I am thankful everyday for his blessings and I know he will bless Wyatt and company. I would use these slabs daily…love them. If I won this I would probably just sit in my kitchen and stare at it and be thankful it was mine. Such a beautiful post…thanks for sharing. Jennifer Moreland
Beautiful! As always! I would use my slap with a cloche to house my collection of mustard pots.
Cindy, these are beautiful and so similar to the original. Living Soul Pottery is a wonderful story and name. The connection makes these all the more beautiful! I would add to my “collection” of only two to make it a “real collection” with three slabs.
Thank you for your beautiful and informative blog.
Wow! What Beautiful pottery. I will have to check that Etsy Shop. I would use the cheese slab as a serving dish with what else? Cheese. Very original Lol along with crackers, fruit and place a cloche on top. Thank you Cindy.
I think the these Dairy Slabs are amazing.
The island in my kitchen is not huge, however, there is enough room for a decorative piece. One of these slabs would look great especially with baked goods and a glass cover on top. Loving the French country style.
I love the dairy slabs and have always wanted one. It would look great on my kitchen island!l
Talk about a unicorn…these are fab! Spoken of and not seen, lol. I would love to add one to my home, I have a weakness for typography on ironstone and one of these would be a nice addition to my English advertising collection. Thanks for the opportunity.
Mary 😉
So beautiful! And the story and meaning behind the name makes it even more special. My husband and I are almost finished renovating his grandmother’s sweet 1950’s cottage, and this would look beautiful in the new kitchen. And tomorrow’s my birthday – this would make my day!
Hi Cindy,
This past October my husband and I took my bucket list trip to England! I honestly never thought we would actually get to go and it was a trip that surpassed even my dreams! We spent a short time in London & then Bath before moving on to a stone cottage in the Cotswolds for 10 days. The cheese there was so good. if you order what’s called a Ploughman’s lunch in a pub or tearoom you get a large plate for two with assorted meats, pickled veggies, country loaves of bread and an assortment of Cotswold cheeses. They were soooo good, Imagine serving this on one of these BEAUTIFUL slabs! And I thought that experience couldn’t be improved on !!!!!
THANKS FOR SHARING THESE,
Chris
Hello Cindy. What a great giveaway—I would love to have a slab to go with my ironstone. Thanks for giving all of us a chance to own one!
Cindy, what a great post. These slabs are gorgeous! I would love to display one on my dining room buffet with a glass cloche! I’m going over to Living Soul Pottery, what a great way to teach pottery!
Cindy – thank you for another great post. One of these unique slabs would look amazing displayed on my kitchen island.
Cindy – thank you for another great post and the opportunity to enter the drawing. One of these unique slabs would look amazing displayed on my kitchen island.
Good morning dearest Cindy,
How very like you to give all of us this wonderful opportunity to win this beautiful piece of pottery, with the awe-inspiring story of Mr. Wyatt, the potter. It is a lovely piece, one that I would treasure and display with pride on my dining room hutch with an antique cloche passed down to me by my dear grandmother. My birthday is coming up next Wednesday, and I would be so delighted and grateful to win this beautiful gift. Thank you for this dear Cindy, and so much more. As always, many blessings to you and yours my friend. xxx
Oh the dairy slabs look wonderful! I’d use one on my hutch and maybe add a cloche…and quite possibly it would be the start of a new collection for me.
Hi Cindy, I always admire your work through your Instagram page & your blog for true French inspiration. May is a super busy month for me (our household) with 1 upcoming senior in college, 2 senior graduations, 1 upcoming senior in high school & 2 going into 5th grade. To say the least it’s all fun, but crazy fun. Which brings me to my comment. As I finally settled for a bit of “me” time around 11:30pm (I call it my creative time) I opened my “ Victoria Classics” French Cooking & Entertaining 2019 special issue purchased earlier this week to enjoy all its splendor. It’s so beautiful I felt like I was living in the pages. With also catching up on your blog I read about the give away & thought why not. First, Mr. Wyatt’s story, meaning, what he does to create these fabulous pieces is extraordinary. Thank you for sharing his work!!! I do have a few of English advertising pieces, however not large statement ones. Therefore being able to acquire one from Mr. Wyatt, through you would be at the excitement level of finding one while Antiquing. The plates really sparked me and my love for all things French, mixing in different elements into my kitchen to outdoors and using with my Blue & White collection for easy entertaining. Thank you for sharing his website for future references & for you always giving & sharing ideas for the creative mind.
Kindest,
Cintia
I would use them to serve cheese or desserts at parties. Very nice.
Wow, it is so fabulous. Of course I would put it in my dining room and then move it around to the kitchen! Love it and it would look so good in my home!
My gosh! I too have searched for these forever since I first saw them on the Vignette Design site years ago. You were so lucky to find originals! These reproductions are beautiful. Thanks for sharing and hoping to win. I too collect white Ironstone and have lucked into some beauties. Thanks again
I love the dairy slab! I would put butter pats on it and top with a cloche.
Cindy,
I admire all your posts, sharing your finds, beautiful pieces that you add your touch to, and your home. Your love of the Lord and how it gives you insight is another blessing we receive in following you.
The pottery is gorgeous and I know the antique ones are few and costly if discovered. You were blessed to find those two an amazing price for a reason. You discovered Wyatt’s living soul pottery to share with us so we could find and buy unique pieces for our homes. Not an accident that Wyatt’s creations are now promoted by you, a fellow follower of our Lord. How wonderful to witness these inter twinings of you both in this beautiful ware. I would feel honored to win a piece of this unique pottery. Thank you Wyatt for your generous gift.
Thank you for being a shining light of His goodness in the world.
Many blessings to you, Christine
I’m always on the search for these! I have the cloche….just need the slab!
I, too, used to check the website in England, and finally gave up. These are so beautiful. I would display one on my kitchen counters with a cloche.
Hi Cindy! I do remember your post about dairy slabs and I am excited to try and win one from Living Soul Pottery. How would I use it? Well, to have some cheese on display for when company comes over, or for Hubby and me for dinner, too. Mostly it would be enjoyed much as you do ~ on display with lovely vignettes created with it. I think a chocolate one would be perfect, too!
Thank you to Mr. Wyatt for sharing his heart with us through his pottery; truly a gift to be able to create such beautiful and practical pieces. <3
Thank you for the opportunity to try and win,
Barb 🙂
Wow. Love love love each one! Love this Potter’s story too.
The Living Soul piece would live in my kitchen- the soul of the home.
OH MY GRACIOUS! How wonderful are these! I lived in Europe many years ago and never noticed these! I am curious and fascinated now! I collect antiques of all sorts and so glad to discover these! So glad to find your blog! Checking out the etsy shop too! So excited!
Wow, I have never heard of these before, but I love the look! Being a big fan of all thing typographic and white ceramics, means these ring all the bells. Thanks for sharing the Etsy shop too.
These are beautiful! I don’t know where you couldn’t use one, as part of a charcuterie board, with a cloche on top, sitting on your countertop or table. I discovered your blog a few months ago and have really enjoyed it. I have learned a lot about french style!
Wow! Cindy yes I have been searching for ages for good reproduction since I WANT to have more then one! Ahahahahah I love these!
Headed to his site now! Thanks for finding him!
As always your devoted fan I have been on vacation and missed this post! Thank you Instagram for the alert!
Beautiful! I would so enjoy using the slab at my dining room table as a service piece, part of a charcuterie board! It would be a lovely addition and a wonderful conversation piece!
Gorgeous and unique. I collect white ironstone, perfect additione.
One of these cheese slabs will perfect in my French Country kitchen. Lovely and so versatile! Thank you for this giveaway opportunity.
What a wonderful opportunity to win this awesome dairy slab and it would look great in my kitchen! Thanks Cindy!
Love these slabs
Wonderful giveaway thank you! Where would I put this beauty…. where wouldn’t I put it?!!!!
Under a cloche, on a shelf, as a serving plate, the ideas keep coming !
They are fabulous and I would love to start a collection! Thank you!
A dream come true!
I can’t believe you found two authentic slabs! Lucky girl indeed. I’ve been looking forever and I saw one years ago at Sonoma Antiques and passed it up because at the time I did not realize how rare & coveted they were | are. I’ve kicked myself ever since. Love that you found Wyatt’s shoppe!!!! This would complete anybody’s kitchen. Thanks for the opportunity. xo- MaryJo
Seems like everyone loves those slabs. Took forever to scroll to the bottom to leave a comment, LOL! I make miniature scenes under glass domes and would love to accessorize one of the dairy slabs! How cute would that be?
These are absolutely beautiful… and yes, these are great for entertaining and or simply for display since they are so beautiful.
Hi Cindy, would love to win one of these for my kitchen island that I am remodeling for my retirement. It is similar to yours just, not quite with all the treasures you have acquired, but I’m treasure hunting every chance I get. Love your blog..it has inspired my remodel in so many ways…..Now I have Living Soul Pottery Shop to check out.
I want them all!! I am glad you found these! Thank you!
Wow, I have hunted for one of these for years, actually decades. I love the look and what a great table serving and display piece. Thanks for finding a repo source. Your blog is lovely and informative. Thanks and keep sharing your talents and information. Many blessings!
Hi Cindy: Please put my name in the hat I would love to win this. Thanks, Martha
Cindy – thank you for the great post and opportunity to entry the drawing. One of these slabs would look amazing as a display on my kitchen island…so unique and fun too!
Love!
A living vessel, Michelle
Wow! These pieces are beautiful. I would be proud to have one of Wyatt’s pieces in my home.
I have seen these but didn’t know the name. Now I want them.
I can see it now! Sitting pretty on my kitchen counter with this glass dome atop it, much like the one you posted in a pic above. Plus factor it would be my first piece of ironstone! Smile!
This piece would have a special home in my China cabinet along with all my new pieces of ironstone acquired this past weekend at Lucketts spring market. As a cheese and dark chocolate lover, this would be a prized piece.
Cindy, YES!!!! I am in love with these slabs! I really need one of these to enhance my kitchen in my new home! We moved in this year and I am struggling to make it mine. This would be so perfect! Thank you for sharing the meaning behind Living Soul Pottery….. it makes it a must have for me! Have a blessed day Cindy!
Would love one in my kitchen next to my stove. I’ve been looking for one for years and never seem to find them!
I LOVE these!!
I’ve never seen one of these in all my years of antiquing, and I would love to win one! I’d put it in my homestead kitchen with a cloche on top!
I never miss one of your posts. In fact you posted about these slabs once before which was my introduction to them. I’ll be visiting Mr. Wyatt’s web site!!!
I have loved these since I saw them a few years back…and would treasure having one on my counter with a glass dome but would definitely use when entertaining! =)
Hi Cindy!
I love these dairy slabs! Thank you for the history of these pieces. This pottery piece will work well on my kitchen counter alongside my white pottery bread box. Love the scripture too! I feel the same way when I start any arts or crafts project.
A fabulous addition to a large charcuterie board.
Dear Cindy, Living Soul Pottery, which you have just introduced to your followers, has such a beautiful and heartfelt message in all of its gorgeous recreated antique dairy slabs. What a talented artist. I would love to start a collection of these to add to my white ironstone. Hence, I would love to win one. I love the added black lettering and all advertising ironstone. Thanks for the opportunity.
Oh, Cindy, I was instantly smitten the same way you were! I had never seen any of these before and I just love anything white with black lettering. It would be fabulous to win one. Love your posts, thanks, Karen
I love these! I have never seen them anywhere else except on your blog. I will definitely check out the etsy shop you recommended.
I had never seen or heard of these before and I was instantly enraptured. For shame for now I want one. Ahhhh……but perhaps I may win one.
hi ive always loved your blog…ur home is so gorgeous all the time…I have a small apartment and have seen these on blogs and stores before…but could not get…it makes your pantry so pretty…thanks for your blog…I get good ideas to diy things I can….thanks again..
I am reading your blog as the tornado and flood sirens are sounding. It has been a day of impending doom. So I am delighted to receive wonderful news about the pottery. I have always admired the slabs when I have seen them I a magazine or online. If I am fortunate enough to win one I would be moving it around. It would sometimes be on my kitchen counter with the appropriate dome on top and white ironstone around it. Sometimes I would make a display on my long country table. I will have to hurry and order some. Thank you for this great find!!
Oh my goodness, I love these so much Cindy!! You are so lucky to have found two authentic ones – I think I’d faint if that happened!! But the next best thing would be to win one of these amazing repros- I know my kitchen would be so happy if one of these was sitting on the counter 😉
Sheila
Your dairy slabs are amazing! The white stoneware with the bold contrasting labels is visually stunning! I’d love to display one of these in my dining area, perhaps with a cheese dome to complete the look. Everything would look prettier in that display!
Love, love, love these!! Like you, I’ve been wanting them/hunting for years so to win one would be so exciting!! I think my kitchen needs it for sure 🙂
Sheila
Oh goodness Cindy, like you I’ve been wanting/hunting for these for years! His repros are so good and I would LOVE to win one!!
I think they would complete my French country kitchen for sure 🙂
Sheila
Oh my goodness! What a beautiful and stunning giveaway! Thank you for all the information and education, I had no idea. Any one of these slabs would look beautiful resting on my dining table with a cloche. Maybe with dried flowers or sea shells underneath.
I love visiting your blog. I am inspired each time.
Thanks so much for sharing.
What a great giveaway! I would love to display a cheese plate with glass cloche on my kitchen countertop. Thank you for the chance to win!
I think my heat skipped a beat but then I love everything that you post…. so thanks for sharing and what a fabulous giveaway….blessings for the journey
Theresa
Hi Cindy, what a beautiful piece of pottery! I love how gorgeous it looks and how stylish! However, knowing the story behind these beautiful slabs makes it even more meaningful to me! I would love to use it under a cloche. Thank you for sharing the giveaway and this amazing shop.
I would keep in on my kitchen counter with a glass dome!
Wow..these are fabulous…
I love there simplicity…
Can use anywhere…
Thanks for the tip
Such a great thing for you to share his story with us! If I won the giveaway, I would display this piece in the center of my dining table with a glass cloche on top.
Oh my, they are beautiful! Yours are so lovely stacked together. The white with that awesome lettering would be gorgeous sitting on my black island counter top! I’d sit a sweet sheep on it and top it with a glass cloche. So simple, yet so beautiful.
Oh Cindy, I have been looking high and low for any and all ironstone!! These are fabulous, and would look lovely in my kitchen with my blue English ironstone!
Love them. Would go beautifully with my iron stone pieces, and for cheese platter for entertaining. Love your home and bolg.
I so love the cheese/dairy slabs, would love to win this treasure, but whoever wins it will certainly enjoy it for many years.
Cindy, you have done it again. Addicting a whole new batch of ladies. I have a cloche waiting for one. Oh and a riser perfect. Thank you for the lovely story about this terrific potter and his great Esty shop.
Thanks Cindy for another great giveaway! I would put it on my counter for display everday. Thanks again, love your blog!
I love the story behind his pottery. It would be a joy to win one of these which could be used in so may ways.
Would love to win one of these! I’ve wanted one for my kitchen counter ever since I saw one in Charles Faudree’s book.
I would just sit and stare at it because it is so beautiful.
I pick up a slab years ago at William Sonoma, I didn’t know until I read your post about them what they were called. Thanks for educating us on what these were / are used for 🙂
Hi Cindy! You are right–originals of these are impossible to find–you are so lucky!! I enjoy reading a few home decor blogs as a quick escape between a busy job and 6 kids, and sometimes I become infatuated with an item I’ve seen in the many gorgeous photos, but most of the time it’s enough for me to surf the net or browse my local antique shops, find something similar, and know I COULD have a similar treasure, if I really wanted it. HOWEVER, the dairy slabs are more than an infatuation for me–they are a NEED (OK, a want, but a “want it really bad” one). Our lifestyle lends itself to the utilitarian, and I love vintage typography, so I would love to win this beautiful work of art. I would display it on my husband’s grandmother’s antique ice-box we are lucky enough to have in our kitchen!
Cindy, how wonderful you have found someone that is sooo talented! Love them all! Donna Joy
I have long admired yours and love that you’re giving one away. I’m inspired by this artist and am now following him on Etsy. I would move this Dairy Slab between my dining room and kitchen and use it for entertaining too!
I love these! They would make an amazing multi-layer charcutterie board!
I, too, have looked for these for years…with no luck…just maybe my luck will change with this giveaway!
love these would be great to serve almost any party food love to win a slab…….
O I love the whole story! I saw your post on Instagram and had to come find the link for ordering. I’d love to win a slab n have in my counter. Of course I’d like to order more to layer as you did. Looks beautiful!
Love everything about this story. Never saw these until you posted yours, and I’m hooked on having one! This would look great with the little bit of ironstone I have, and would use it for decoration and to serve chilled cheese. Thanks for the give a way!
Perfect for my French Country kitchen. Of course, if I did happen to win one, I will need to purchase 2 more!! Your home is furnished so beautifully So glad that I “Found” you!! Wish me luck!
They’re adorable. I’d love to keep one in the kitchen and use for cheese…but that adorable milk bowl…..
Cindy thank you for the opportunity to win one.
I have searched everytime I read your first post about finding them in Sheffield’s Antique.
That is my Sunday go to place after church.
Good luck to whoever wins.
Thank you so much for the information. If I don’t win I am sure I will have to buy one, (or two). Love the cloche idea.
Hi Cindy and Wyatt. I have never seen these before but looooooove them. I especially like the cloche with it. The story of Soulful Pottery is wonderful and teaches his students a wonderful lesson too. I would love to win your drawing. Thank you.
I’m going to step out of my box and comment because these are just to beautiful to pass up. Honestly, I would use one to serve up some gorgeous food when I have people over. When I’m not using it I’m just going to let it sit on my counter to showcase its simple beauty. And I love the scripture reference on it. It’s a beautiful reminder of the love and workmanship God put into us, and to be able to have a conversation about that with others, wow!
I currently have a “FROMAGE” slab in my kitchen. I love how they look stacked. Thank you for letting us know about Wyatt’s shop.
Awesome give away Cindy! I have loved yours and haven’t seen them any place since you showed them to us. I would showcase one on special occasions such as birthdays, Easter, Christmas and Fourth of July holidays by using items that focus on those holidays on the slab, some under the cloche and others without. They show up beautifully with your bread boards and I would also use the slab with cheese while using a bread board. Hope it’s not awful to copy you as you have taste that’s envious.
I adore these lovely pieces! I’d use it as a platform for a small white pitcher of Peonies in lush rich colors; would be such a lovely spot of color in my neutral kitchen!!! When company comes, it’d do double duty as a cheese platter,complete with grapes & an antique silver filigree Cheese Knife I have. I’d also use it to display my Savory Cheesecake surrounded by grape leaves, which it’d be the PERFECT size for! 🙂
What a wonderful giveaway! I would love to win this. It would look great on my kitchen counter with all the oil, vinegar and French items.
I love them and will be on Etsy in a jiff!!
These are so gorgeous! Love the inspiring story of how Living Soul Pottery came to be.
Oh I want one
So many possibilities! I would love to have a slab plate in my home!
A Living Soul Pottery dairy slab would be the centerpiece for a beautiful display in our kitchen.
Cindy – Thank you for the great post and opportunity to enter the contest. I would love to have one of these slabs for display on my island….so many possibilities and so beautiful!
Love these! I love the idea of displaying with a cloche! Just beautiful.
What a great and educational blog. I would love to display a slab in my ironstone collection.
I saw these at a farmers’ market in Friendswood TX – awesome stoneware.
I first saw these on your blog and fell in love with them!! Would love to win one it would be special!!
Cindy—it didn’t take my comment so will try again….I.have a copper lazy Susan on my island and it would look great on that when not in use. I absolutely love these and it this is a fabulous giveaway!!!!
I also collect English advertising pots! The simplicity of the dairy slabs would be a perfect addition to my collection. I also appreciate you highlighting the artist. As a fellow Texan I am especially proud of Wyatt.
I had not seen these before I read your earlier post and I too fell in love with them. My house has a country French look to it with a black open china cabinet. There are roosters and all types of china displayed in it. I would be proud to display it in the China cabinet. And I love your look of the cloche. Thank you.
I have never heard of dairy slabs, so these are new to me… I love them! They would look fab in my kitchen up on my long shelf with my ironstone collection!! Something totally new to the collection! Thanks for sharing, it’s always nice seeing something totally new I’ve never heard of or seen before!!! 🙂
What a wonderful giveaway! Thank you to you both! And even if I don’t win, finally something I can buy!
Love love love these and would use it for summer cookout!!! Leave out always in my kitchen as a perfect accent piece!!!!
Would love to win!! It would be perfect in my French Country kitchen!! Love your blog!! Thanks for the giveaway!!
I would use this dairy slab on top of my marble cutting board to add drama to my french country kitchen The slab will really add some interest! I love Wyatt’s story and that he shares his love of God with others.
These are to die for; I’m in love! I have an empty corner on my kitchen counter where these would fit right in. I would top off the display with a blue delft cow.
I have been looking and looking for one of these forever, like most of your readers. I cannot believe they are being made again. Antique shows never had them, but I probably would not have been able to afford one at a show. Thanks so much for a chance to win one for my kitchen. My fingers are crossed..
I have always loved the real deal antique slabs but this is the next best thing, and you could actually use it too! Would love to win one, it would look perfect in my kitchen, thanks for the chance!
I love the story behind the name! I would love to display one in my own home!
It would be a hard working piece in my kitchen – for display and serving of cheese to my guests. I’m thinking you can put it in the refrigerator and when serving on it, the cheese would stay cool, if that’s how you like to serve it!
I have wanted one of these for years and years……..could not find one ….even at gift marketskin NYC or Atlanta…….researched last night, actually, and saw that Jon Webb had discovered the source in Houston…..and now you pop up today…….serandipity, I believe!!!
I have loved these slabs for many years but could never find a source for them. Thank you for the information!
We I would use one as a centerpiece on my kitchen island.
The slabs are absolutely wonderful! What a beautiful addition to a French or English country kitchen! I love them!
Wonderful giveaway! Would be great on my counter. Love the name of the shop and what it stands for.
Blessings
Beautiful! I love how you use them!
Beautiful slabs and new company. I’m so excited to see these!
These are so cool! I would use on the island in my French country kitchen!
Thank you, Cindy for the giveaway! What a beautiful soul you have, and so does this potter! I would put it on my kitchen table with fresh flowers on top! God bless you both!
I’ve been looking for one for years! What a treasure to have in my kitchen!
I have an antique ironing board which I use as a sideboard in my dining room. I wanted to find something on which to display some small antique silver pieces. The slab would be perfect!!
These are wonderful. I would display it in my kitchen….thanks for the chance to win.
They are absolutely beautiful. They certainly look authentic. So many ways you could use these beautiful pieces.
I Have always loved these slabs and I didn’t think I would ever have one! A wonderful story about the potter, thanks so much for this opportunity to own one!
I have always loved these ironstone dairy slabs. How excited to hear they are made right here in my home city of Houston. One would look lovely sitting in my French country kitchen.
Count me in with the others…..I would love to win one as well. The display possibilities are endless for sure. Vignettes…..flowers…..heck! Maybe even a display of cheese!
Cindy, This cheese slab would be perfect to serve my daughter’s favorite Brie when she returns home from deployment. I would probably have to turn around and give to her!
I love these dairy slabs and the story and inspiration of the potter! I would use this in my kitchen with a cloche.
As I was reading I thought that I would place my cloche on top of the English dairy slab, and voila! there was a picture of a cloche on a dairy slab. I even have a little white cow creamer to add perfection inside the cloche, just like you. It would look great in my 1928 kitchen.
Oh my gosh I love them! I would totally put a cloche on the top if I had one, they are gorgeous!
I would love to display this slab!!
Well, I am speechless with desire for this cheese slab! The winner will truly be a blessed living soul!
Thank you for sharing this artist! I have been looking for one for years. I would keep mine on my kitchen counter as a base for a plant, petite candle and some old wooden spoons in an ironstone jar. And of course, I would use it when entertaining to hold cheese! Thanks!
What fun and unique pottery. I would love to have the cheese or fromage stone which would certainly be a conversation piece when I entertain.
I remember the blog you posted when you found these slabs. I live in Memphis and still wondering which antique shop you found them. Maybe Sheffield’s? Anyway, I would love to use this on Sundays for Sunday night dinner with our adult children and our grandchildren. We usually have some sort of charcuterie spread. Thank you!
It is darling. It would look great in the kitchen.
Oh wow ! they are so nice and yours look awesome ,this brings me back to when my mother would order the grocery’s from a little store and pick them up Love them .
Hi Cindy. I absolutely love the name of his company and all it stands for. I would display it with a cloche in my curio and I would surely use it when entertaining, It’s gorgeous. What a lovely gift. Thank you for the chance.
These are so cool! If I won one…I would use it in a display on my kitchen island. Btw…love how you displayed them!
OOH! I would love to have one! I think I would use it to keep my stack of cloth napkins on.
Wow! I remember your post when you first found the slabs and how difficult it was to find them. These are brilliant! There’s a cloche in my kitchen that needs a base and this would be absolutely perfect.
This is an exciting giveaway! I have a connection with Texas, Lutherans and ironstone. And anything handmade touches my soul. It would be the focal point on my kitchen island.
I’m so happy to know that he is reproducing these! They look so authentic! I would use one in my kitchen for serving but when not in use, I would style it with some of my antique cutlery and a vase of flowers. Love it so much! And especially the meaning behind the name!
I would love to win this! I am a Texas gal so that would make it even more special. Definitely my kitchen counter!
How beautiful!! What a work of art to treasure!! I would love to win one!!!
Hi there!! Those dairy slabs are gorgeous! It will be a dream to have one in my kitchen!! Thank You!
What a beautiful story behind the name of this company. I have looked for one of these going to Round Top, TX every year. Being a native of TX to win such a beautiful gift made in TX would be awesome.
I would love to display one of these dairy slabs in my dining room. The verse behind the meaning is perfect for Wyatt’s work. We are all unique as is each piece of pottery. Thank you.
These are beautiful. Would use on my island to serve guests. Thank you for this opportunity.
I would love to win the slab, they are so unique and would look wonderful displayed in my kitchen. Thank you for this oppoetunity.
I love these slabs and so excited to find out that he has a shop in Houston! I’ll be checking him out.
As the winner of the Pure &Simple Paint Giveaway I wanted to testify to the quality of your giveaways… and the fun of getting that “You’re the winner…” email! Wyatt’s products are amazingly beautiful and the story behind it makes them even more desirable. But please exclude me from this giveaway so that someone else can have the joy of winning!!!
I like you have loved these for years but wasn’t able to buy one.
I would put it on my Irish dresser in the kitchen for everyone to see.
Thank you for such a wonderful opportunity.
Hello! This is such an exciting giveaway! I would love to win one of the cheese slabs for my new kitchen I am getting ready to install. I am downsizing since the sudden passing of my husband and it would look so pretty in my new space. I love the name of the company and I know the Lord will bless him! Thank you!
Beautiful. I would love one in my kitchen.
These are beautiful! Love the premise behind the pottery. We are God’s creation. Would love to win this & display in my home. Thanks for the opportunity.

I would love to win one of these they are so pretty and I love the verse on it as well. It would be so pretty in my kitchen ! Thank you for a chance to win !
These are beautiful and I love the name of the company and meaning behind it! Congrats to Wyatt and his success.
I think that one of these would look AWESOME displayed underneath the black metal candle lantern in the center of my dining room table; the black lettering, the contrast of the white ironstone with the black lantern–DECORATING PERFECTION!!!
Love these! I would love to display in my kitchen with a cloche!
A cheese slab would be the icing on the cake in my kitchen decor. They are so unique.
These are so unique and would make a wonderful addition to my white dish collection. Looks like a perfect cheese platter to me!
Cindy, I have always admired these cheese slabs in your blog posts! They add so much charm to your ironstone collections. And just love the history behind Wyatt’s pottery, I see from his Etsy store he is quite a hit! Thank you for the chance to win!
Wow! I’d never even heard of a dairy slab until this post but now, I have to have one!! Thanks for the great pics in your home, too.
I have been obsessed with dairy slabs since I first saw one too! These are amazing and so authentic looking. I’d use it for -what else-cheese! It would make a great cheese board at parties and when not in use I’d display it with my ironstone.
These are stunning! Would love to win one.
What a wonderful talent God has given Wyatt and that he enjoys sharing it with others. I have admired yours since you introduced them to your followers. I would be thrilled to win one to display in my kitchen and use when entertaining. I am sure they will become lovely heirlooms to pass on to our children. Thank you, Cindy, for sharing Wyatt and his Etsy shop with your readers.
Wow!…they are amazing Cindy…and I must say, other than being beautiful works of art…I so love the name of Wyatt’s pottery…Living Soul Pottery….truly beautiful! Thank you for the opportunity to win this incredible piece of Living Soul Pottery (love that name)!!!
How lucky can one person get to find not one but two of these beautiful slabs. I would love to be able to add one of these to my ironstone collection.
Oh they are so beautiful! I would use it in my kitchen with a cloche and for entertaining.
These are so beautiful! I have been looking for something to create a centerpiece on my kitchen table, and this would be perfect.
I LOVE the slabs. I too have looked for them and cannot find any old ones. I would dearly love to have one of these,,,,,Thanks, Stanna
A charming and useful addition to any kitchen. I would love to win one.
I love these slabs. I would use them for entertaining with cheese and crackers. And a display.
Wow! What a beautiful product! I am presently visiting France but have not seen these here. I live in TX & would love to win one!
Love them, and love hearing about an Etsy success story. Thank you!
What a wonderful article and giveaway! I would love the cheese dairy slab to surprise my husband with it for the anniversary of our first date 19 years ago, where we had a delicious variety of cheeses and a lovely bottle of Chateau Neuf du Pape. He went to hotel management school in Switzerland and is in the restaurant/food/wine industry. He loves these types of European accoutrements. And of course, in addition to sharing this with my husband, I will definitely use it when my girlfriends come over for wine, cheese and catching up!
Thanks for a chance at this giveaway Cindy! I had never heard of these until your post and I love them! I would use the cheese slab for cheese and display it prominently when not in use! Thanks again!
Kara
I have never seen anything like this and am so intrigued by the possibilities. Please enter me in the giveaway and I will keep my fingers crossed that I win. They are just delightful and it’s nice to hear the story behind this man’s talent.
I remember reading your post in earlier this year and I loved them then and love them now! I’ve never seen them in person but I would love to stack them just like you but I am lacking in space. A 9″ would be so perfect to get me started! My question for you is do they have a lip where you could stack for example, an 11″, 10″ and 9″ without a problem? Thank you Wyatt as that is my maiden name and the name of my nephew!
Hi Jan! Yes, there is a slight lip around the rim, so they are easy to stack! Good luck!
Cindy, I never knew that I wanted a cheese slab as a centerpiece on my kitchen shelves until ai read your post and now I need one!! It is so tasteful without being kitschy! Thank you for the inspiration and chance to win one!
Oh my goodness!!! It would be awesome to win a slab!!
What a beautiful, inspirational story. I would decorate for every season with one. Thank you for this opportunity!
How delightful, have always admired these.
Great giveaway
