We’re excited to have our Shortbread Pans featured yet again by Martha Stewart!

In this video, Martha Stewart uses our stoneware Thistle Shortbread Pan — a very fitting design for her Traditional Shortbread. Thistles are the national flower of Scotland and play a big role in Scottish history and lore.
No one is sure how the thistle became the national flower of Scotland, but there is one legend that many credit to the thistle’s fame. According to VisitScotland.com, “One legend has it a sleeping party of Scots warriors was saved from ambush by an invading Norse army when one of the enemies trod on the spiky plant. His anguished cry roused the slumbering warriors who duly vanquished the invader and adopted the thistle as their national symbol.”
Even though it’s just a legend, we think it’s a pretty fun story!
