January Market Recap
What Buyers Chose — and How They’re Building Spring
Based on January sales data.
January Market in Atlanta is always our favorite — but what comes after is just as important.
We’re deeply grateful for the time and care so many of you put into showing up. As a small, women-run company, those face-to-face moments and conversations mean everything to us.
Once market wraps and orders are tallied, clarity sets in.
By stepping back and reviewing January sales — across finishes, forms, and sizes — clear patterns emerged around how buyers are planning for spring.
What stood out wasn’t a rush toward what’s new, but a thoughtful return to pieces that feel grounded, versatile, and easy to build around.

Overall Buying Theme
Foundation first, then depth
The strongest assortments balanced dependable foundations with subtle contrast. Buyers anchored their programs with trusted materials, then layered in texture and softened color. The result was displays that feel calm, cohesive, and flexible.
Finish Insights Buyers Are Leaning Into
A consistent volume driver and foundational anchor. Buyers committed confidently across sizes and shapes, using unglazed to ground displays, support plant-forward merchandising, and scale inventory with ease. Timeless and honest in material, unglazed remains essential.
Heavy Metal/ Metallica · Luna · Graphite · Copper
Chosen to add depth without drama. These finishes introduce texture and dimension while staying within a grounded palette, often paired with unglazed or terra cotta for subtle, elevated contrast.
Used sparingly as a connector. This muted gray-green softens mineral finishes and warms neutral groupings without reading as a bold color statement. Buyers most often introduced Sage at mid-scale to bring balance to the assortment.
How Buyers Are Building Displays
1. Anchor the display
Large unglazed or terra cotta pieces establish scale, calm, and a clear starting point.
2. Add depth
Layer mineral glazes (Heavy Metal · Luna · Graphite · Copper) to introduce texture and contrast without overwhelming the eye.
3. Soften with color
Introduce Sage, Dune or Oyster White thoughtfully at mid-scale to connect finishes and warm the overall display.
This layered approach keeps assortments cohesive, flexible, and easy for customers to shop.
