This is talking about tableware for a coffee shop, who has hired a local artisan to create their own line of *handcrafted ceramics, all thrown, glazed and fired* in their in-house studio.
My first attempt: vajilla artesanal, xxx, xxx y ¿cocida/horneada? en su propio taller.
Thrown and glazed are the two main words I´m having trouble with. I am looking at descriptions in Spanish of the processes, but there are quite a few steps, so I cannot figure out which are the ones mentioned here.
Thanks in advance.

vajilla artesanal, torneada, vidriada y cocida íntegramente
I agree with "vajilla" for ceramics, since you say this is tableware. It is possible to make decorative ceramics that are not tableware, and if this is involved you might say "piezas cerámicas" instead.
It seems you're thinking of omitting "all", and I think you could, but "íntegramente" would go quite well.
"Throw
5: to form or shape on a potter's wheel"
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/throw
"Torneado
Las piezas se realizan esencialmente en el torno de alfarero."
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerámica_de_Teruel
"Glaze
"a mixture mostly of oxides (as silica and alumina) applied to the surface of ceramic wares to form a moisture-impervious and often lustrous or ornamental coating"
(verb) b : to apply a glaze to"
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/glaze
"vidriar
1. tr. Dar a las piezas de barro o loza un barniz que, fundido al horno, toma la transparencia y lustre del vidrio."
http://dle.rae.es/?w=vidriar&o=h
"cocer
2. tr. Someter pan, cerámica, piedra caliza, etc., a la acción del calor en un horno, para que pierdan humedad y adquieran determinadas propiedades."
http://dle.rae.es/?w=cocer&m=form&o=h
"Cocer" is used for "fire" in Spain. Maybe "hornear" is preferred in Latin American countries; I don't know.
I've always assumed that "throw" comes from the potter throwing the lump of clay onto the middle of the wheel to start the process; it has to be done accurately and takes some practice. But throwing a plot means shaping it on the wheel.

Sorry, throwing a pot, not a plot (in the last paragraph).

Mis propuestas corresponden a la terminología empleada habitualmente en España. No dudo que en Argentina, por ejemplo, se puedan decir de otra manera, tal como dice Mariana. He hecho bastantes traducciones para el Museo Nacional de Cerámica y empleo los términos correspondientes.
"Tornear cerámica"
http://ceramicdictionary.com/es/b/2200/bol-tornear-cerámica.
Esmaltar se dice también en España; esmaltar y vidriar son más o menos igual de frecuentes.

Gracias, John ;) Siempre me ha parecido apasionante la alfarería, pero mis escasos intentos, cuando tuve la oportunidad de probarlo, fueron bastante desastrosos.

artesanal, hecha en el torno, esmaltada y horneada
Fui ceramista profesional durante muchos años en EEUU y en Argentina. Conozco muy bien la terminología, las técnicas, los materiales, los procedimientos y los procesos
Artesanal dice que las piezas se hacen una por una;
hecha en el torno, la técnica que se usó;
esmaltada, el tipo de terminación y
horneada la técnica de terminación.

La primera rueda de alfarero fue hallada en Ur (Mesopotamia), en 1930, durante las excavaciones realizadas por Wooley, en un nivel perteneciente al periodo de Uruk.

Before then, the clay had been heated in bonfires, but the new type of pottery, called Sueki ware, was fired at a high temperature in through-draft (tunnel) kilns built on a slope.
Hasta entonces, la arcilla era calentada en fogatas, pero el nuevo estilo de cerámica, llamada Sueki, se cocinaba a altas temperaturas en hornos construidos (túneles) en montículos.

cerámica vidriada, cerámica barnizada
Making pottery involves forming the clay, drying it, firing it, glazing it and firing it again, and this is ordinarily a one- to two-week commitment.
La fabricación de cerámica implica amasar la arcilla, secarla, cocerla, barnizarla y cocerla de nuevo, lo que significa un compromiso de una a dos semanas.

"glazing every field tile individually"
Tonal variation, dappling, textured and crackling all contribute to the uniqueness of our handmade tiles. Our glazes can be glossy, crackled, matte, or clear.
Fired: (fired in the electric oven)
Pottery is a ceramic material (fired clay). It comes in a range of types and styles defined primarily by the type of clay used, the firing temperature, the type of kiln fuel and atmosphere, type of decoration method and the forming method. I will not go into extreme detail with all this here, as to do so would require a book and I want to keep this simple and avoid technical complexities.
Basically, if you keep in mind that high firing temperature equates to strength, hardness, non-porosity, and durability while low firing temperature equates to bright colours but weaker strength and porosity, you will have the general idea.
Porcelain - There are two types - 'hard paste' porcelain fired to very high temperatures of about 1350-1400Celcius the highest firing temperatures of all pottery, and 'soft paste' porcelain fired to temperatures of about 1200Celcius. The high firing creates a material which is very 'glassy' and completely vitrified (non porous - does not absorb water, even without a glaze). This is a very strong material and therefore pottery can be made with very thin walls.
