As the founder of Buttersage Pottery in Penang, Belle Yeoh has successfully transformed a pandemic-era hobby into a thriving business. When Belle Yeoh took her first pottery class in early 2022, she was seeking respite from the demands of corporate life. Two years later, her handmade ceramics grace the tables ofand other notable establishments across Malaysia.
By mid-2022, Yeoh had made the bold decision to take a career break to focus on improving her skills. She launched her brand at the end of that year, initially viewing it as an exploration of creative possibilities. Through self-learning and organic growth, Buttersage Pottery evolved from a personal project into a sought-after brand among Malaysia’s culinary elite.
When creating pieces for restaurants, Yeoh engages in detailed consultations with chefs. “Some projects have specific dimensions and shapes from the get-go, whereas others could be more open-ended,” she explained. Each chef brings a unique vision of how handmade ceramics can elevate their dishes.
