Small Pottery Kiln

Small pottery kilns for home studios, classrooms and tight studio corners — mini kilns, tabletop kilns and bench-top models from roughly 12 litres up to around 90. Every kiln in this range plugs into a standard UK 13A socket, so there's no electrician's bill before you fire your first pot.

Use this page to compare small kilns side-by-side. If you need something bigger, step up to our home pottery kilns range.

What to look for in a small pottery kiln:

  • Chamber size: 12–60 litres suits most home potters. A small electric kiln at 45L fires around 30–40 mugs or 4–6 larger pieces per cycle.
  • Power supply: All small kilns we stock run on a 13A plug, no single-phase rewiring, no 30A commando socket. Plug in and fire.
  • Top temperature: Every model here reaches 1300°C — earthenware at 1100°C, stoneware at 1250°C and porcelain at 1280°C are all comfortably inside that range.
  • Firing control: Digital controllers on the Kilncare Ikon and Kilns & Furnaces Falcon ranges let you set precise ramp, soak and cool curves — essential for consistent glaze results.
  • Load type: Front-loaders (Falcon 50L/65L) are easier on your back; top-loaders (Hawk, CU4, Ikon V46) are lighter and more portable.
