Frequently Asked Questions
What is Matter of Words?
Matter of Words is a small studio creating handmade clay objects — plates, bowls, and magnets — with meaningful words pressed into the surface and decorated with botanical gold leaf motifs. Each piece is made by a Romanian poet and clay artist.
Are these products food safe?
These pieces are decorative objects made from air-dry clay. They are not food safe and should not be used for eating or drinking. They are perfect as ring dishes, desk companions, or display pieces.
Can I order custom words?
Yes — custom word pieces can be made to order. Please message the shop on Etsy with your word and preferred piece type (plate, bowl, or magnet) for a quote and timeline.
What makes a meaningful gift for someone grieving?
A gift that acknowledges what someone is feeling — without trying to fix it — is one of the most meaningful things you can give. Pieces from The Gentle Reminders collection carry words like “All Is Well” and “Breathe” — small anchors for hard days.
