The Ceramic Botanist by Louise Condon Designs

Botanical Wall Plaques, Splashbacks & Printer’s Trays

Handcrafted Ceramic Art Capturing the Beauty of Real British Flowers

Bring a touch of nature into your home with our collection of ceramic wall pieces, splashbacks, and vintage-style printer’s trays — all made using real, seasonal botanicals. These pieces are inspired by the changing landscape of British flora and carefully created using pressed flowers preserved in clay.

Each design is entirely unique, reflecting the forms, textures, and character of the plants used — whether wildflowers, garden stems, or meaningful personal blooms.

Wall Plaques

Our wall plaques are handmade using a variety of grogged stoneware and crank clays. Real flowers and plants are pressed directly into the clay surface, creating richly detailed impressions that feel both tactile and timeless.

This process allows me to document wildflowers and garden plants as they evolve and shift through the seasons — almost like botanical specimens. Every plaque is slightly different, responding to the natural movement of the stems and foliage used.

Available in a variety of sizes, from small decorative tiles to large feature pieces. Tiles are mounted on wood or framed for easy wall display.

Botanical Splashbacks

Create a stunning focal point in your kitchen, bathroom, or utility space with a custom botanical splashback. Each tile panel is composed of real pressed plant material, capturing intricate natural patterns in durable stoneware clay.

Sizes can be tailored to suit your space, and all splashbacks are made to order. These pieces are both practical and beautifully decorative — a unique way to bring the outdoors in.

Printer’s Trays

These vintage wooden trays are filled with individually hand-pressed botanical tiles, arranged in a patchwork of seasonal stories. Each tile is made using real British flowers and plants, with professional preservation techniques and rich natural glazes.

Tiles range from 5cm x 5cm up to 50cm x 50cm, offering visual variation and interest. The result is a timeless decorative piece that honours the passing seasons and the beauty of wild plants.

Commissions & Custom Work

Looking for something personal? I welcome commissions using your own garden flowers, wild-collected botanicals, or wedding bouquet stems. These can be made into wall plaques, splashbacks, or custom tray pieces — perfect as keepsakes, gifts, or heirloom artworks.
