Unique and beautiful hand crafted lyric plate
I needed an unique present for our friends 60th birthday. He is a man of quality and style and I just knew that a bespoke lyric plate would be perfect.
And I was not wrong - the plate was just that. Beautiful and hand crafted with love.
Gary kept me totally informed all along the way - even sent me a photo of the finished item before he posted it, which like the whole process was extremely well packaged. He truly is a pottery wizard and highly recommended
Such unique presents
Have had three bowls off Gary - all fabulous, and a great guy to deal with.
Such a unique present to give someone for a special occasion.
Beautiful and Unique Works of Art
Gary has created two wonderful bowls for me. One for our daughters Graduation and one as a gift to my husband for our Wedding Anniversary. Each one has the lyrics of a beautiful song personal to the recipient, evoking wonderful memories. I am delighted with my purchases and Gary is a pleasure to deal with. I will definitely be commissioning more in future, they make incredibly special, unique gifts, destined to become family heirlooms. I cannot recommend highly enough.
Unbeatable Quality Bowls
I have bought 3 wedding presents from Minor Key over the past few years. Every couple has been blown away by the uniqueness of the gift and the quality/craftsmanship that goes into each bowl. 10/10 cannot recommend highly enough!
Gary made our Christmas!

We commissioned a bowl for our Mother with the words of her favourite hymn beautifully scribed within.
A very talented man.
Would recommend without hesitation. 10/10.
Beautiful Pottery!
Gary is a very talented chap, who is super cool and creates beautiful wedding bowls (and the rest!!), not only that, he's a very nice man too. I highly recommend Minor Key Pottery, very much. Thanks Gary!
What an absolute awesome item
What an absolute wonder of a piece of art .. This bowl was made to my specifications and I absolutely love it .. Gary is helpful, understanding and a fabulous talent .. Get yourself a lifelong item to treasure .. you will be pleased you spent your money every time you look at it
5* service. Would recommend.
I was recommended Minor Key Pottery when looking for a unique wedding present for a close friend.
The whole process with Gary has been amazing from start to finish.
He has produced the most beautiful present for my friends and has even helped me get it safely to Dubai.
I would highly recommend him. Thank you Gary!
Very satisfied customer
I'm really pleased with the bowl I have had made for my husband for our 30th wedding anniversary. Gary was quick to respond to emails and the finished product is amazing, I will be ordering again.
A beautiful and unique gift
A beautiful and unique gift for our soon to be married close friends. I’m sure they will be over the moon when they see it. Gary was so helpful from the start and nothing was too much trouble, even though I probably bombarded him with questions. I was updated at every stage and the parcel arrived promptly and well wrapped. I would not hesitate to recommend to family and friends. Thank you Gary!
5 stars 🌟 all the way
5 stars 🌟 all the way!
Great communication from the start, friendly down to earth and so easy to talk to.
Absolutely blown away with how beautiful my lyric bowl is the workmanship is amazing. I can’t say enough nice things.
Wow! It’s a hit!
Wow! What a find. Great product with superlative service from Gary at Minor Key. A truly unique gift for someone you hold dear. Gary crafted - and trust me, he is a craftsman - a one of a kind anniversary gift to my wife that showcased the lyrics to “our song”, our first dance at our wedding and one where the lyrics sum up what we feel about each other. My wife was amazed when I gave the bowl to her. Make someone you love very happy - order a major gift from Minor Key.
Will be back for another.. perfect gifts
From the first enquiry to delivery the service and communication have been fantastic on both purchases. The finished products were both fabulous quality and individual. Even a personalised message wasn’t too much on the bowl and in the delivery box. If you are looking for a present for a family member or someone special look no further. Thank you so much will be back for another very soon.
A wonderful and unique item.
A wonderful and unique item made to my specifications. The service and communication from the company is superb. I would thoroughly recommend them.
Very happy repeat customer
Repeat customer here 😊 Gary made a bowl for us in 2017 when we got married, which has pride of place in our house. Last year, we were blessed with not one, but 2, against-the-odds, twin grandsons, born to Al Greens 'Let's Stay Together' - just perfect, eh ... so of course, my daughter and her partner need to have a plate to start their collection! Gary is a true gent, easy to deal with, a pleasure to chat to. Highly recommended. (Just need to see if my other daughter has a baby now!)
Best present ever.
Great communication. Fabulous product that arrived as promised and very well packaged. Was purchased as a gift so was thrilled to be told, ‘it’s the best present I’ve ever been given.’
What a gift!
Minor Key accepted the order, completed it to perfection and made a newly married couple elated with the result - their wedding song on pottery - a gift to keep, cherish and remind them of their romantic day. Packaged and delivered perfectly.
Fantastic product
I am a repeat customer of Gary’s fantastic lyric bowls- I think I’m up to about 8 now?! You’ll never find a more unique or meaningful gift. We all have that one song…
Gary is such a lovely man, and the best to communicate with and can I say I think this product- invested with such care, time and and skill, is amazing value for money.
Can’t recommend highly enough.
A beautiful work of art.
The bowl I ordered from Gary is stunning, beautifully made and hand etched with the lyrics from Nothing Else Matters -this was our first dance at our wedding. Gary kept me informed throughout the process and was incredibly helpful, especially when the delivery was delayed due to postal strikes. It arrived in time for Christmas, my husband is thrilled with it.
I would definitely order from him again.

Top Notch Experience! Beautiful Gift!
Gary was so charming to work with! I had him create a lyric bowl as a wedding gift. He was beyond willing to help create a beautiful piece of art which put two very different songs together. From the moment I reached out Gary was helpful and very responsive. I am so very excited for my sister to receive this gift. I only wish I could've received it from Gary in person! He is a wonderful artist! I hope to truly order additional lyric bowls in the future.
