Kitchen Arts and Pottery: A New Foodie Stop
Written by Michal Jones-Smith // April 12, 2012 // Greenville Grub Hub // 10 Comments
There is a new little foodie shop in Greenville, and this quaint little shop offers more than your average cocoa mix and bottled pasta sauce. Kitchen Arts and Pottery celebrates the art of a chef by making unique ingredients and accompaniments available to the average cook. You will find gourmet items such as rendered duck fat, the key ingredient in confit de canard, succulent duck leg cured and poached in its own fat usually glazed with citrus sauce. Chef and owner Elizabeth Bardsley has been making delicious dishes for the diners at Northampton Wines and is now spreading her wings and talent to share some culinary hospitality with local cooks, foodies and fellow chefs. This small cozy shop opened just a few weeks ago and carries items such as German and English influenced kitchen art, beautiful antler cutlery and nifty but traditional kitchen tools. Elizabeth has meticulously chosen her products from responsible producers who use environmentally conscious processes. Not only is the merchandise chosen carefully, even the tables and shelves are refurbished and refinished creating and eclectic atmosphere.
I walk through the store as Liz carefully explains why she has chosen each individual product and where it is made. I am then given ideas on how to incorporate these items into that evenings dinner or perhaps the next day’s wine paring.

Here are original vintage tea towels in various colors and prints, just another way that Kitchen Arts and Pottery is standing out from typical gourmet grocers.
Beautiful hand crafted cutlery made from antlers
The china that was chosen is uniquely shaped and has subtle details that will catch the eye. The inner surface is glazed and sealed while the outer side is porous and rough, a rustic yet artsy look.
Rosato vinegar is sweet and light with a rich flavor, great as a dip for bread and olive oil or a base for vinaigrette and ceviche.
Espelette is a french variety of red chili pepper from the commune of Espelette in the Northern territory of France.
Next time you are in the downtown area, stop by and support a local shop who’s owner is doing exactly what she loves, equipping each of our palettes and our chef within.

Enjoyed my first time visit and shopping experience with Liz at her grand new shop. We chatted about three star chefs in France and short bread cookie recipes. I am returning for some much needed cooking advise she so generously offers.
I watched you this morning on “Your Carolina”, can’t wait to come in. We moved to South Carolina last year. I live in Clemson-am just learning my way around the Greenville are. I see I’m going to put your store on the top of my list of places to go when I come to Greenville. I can hardly wait for my next weekend trip.
Hello Liz,
Beau and I miss our stops to your wonderful store. I have not run out of balsamic fortunately. I wanted to see if you still had or were going to get any more of those Pocket Coffees. At our work offsite, I gave them out and they were a huge success. My former team mates didn’t get any so I want to buy some for them.
We will be back after the new years. Have a great Christmas and New Year’s.
Kristi and Beau
