5 out of 5 starsA beautiful reminder of my focus this year: "Ordinary" work, extraordinary grace! Incredible quality and craftsmanship. I was hoping this little sign would just "fit in" with my decor, but it has become a statement piece of its own! Highly recommend!!

5 out of 5 starsAnne at ClareyClayworks is a such a pleasure to work with, and was very responsive. I ordered a baptism dish for my grandson. It was as pictured but even more gorgeous in person. It will forever be a cherished family heirloom. And it was beautifully wrapped! I highly recommend ClareyClayworks' treasured items.

4 out of 5 starsI ordered a word tile...cute gift. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the date was hard to read. Not as clearly stamped as in the pictures.

5 out of 5 starsThese Mercy crosses are amazing. This is my 3rd or 4th order, I like to give them to friends, and people in my church grief group. People love receiving them. I also have one near my bedroom door that I see it when I leave my room, I have one in my car and I also have one on my TV. The crosses remind me to pray often!

PLACING AN ORDER
Please list ALL necessary information regarding your piece including personalization, and event/date in the “message to seller” section at checkout. Unless otherwise noted in individual item descriptions, usual turn-around time for custom pieces is 7-10 days plus shipping. Please plan accordingly. If you are in doubt whether your piece will arrive in time, please contact me to discuss.
Items listed that are marked “ in stock” or “ready to ship” will be sent out within 3 business days (or sooner if agreed upon) of receipt of payment.

ABOUT YOUR PURCHASE
Clarey Clayworks hand forms each and every piece, one at a time, ensuring that no two items are the same. Subtle variations in shapes and differences in glazes are desirable as they add to the unique character of each work. Most of our pieces contain lettering that is individually hand-stamped. A certain 'unevenness' in spacing of characters is to be expected and adds to the one-of-a-kind charm of the piece. All ceramics are fired twice as only this time honored step of glazing can guarantee your piece will be properly sealed and waterproof. It also ensures your heirloom will resist yellowing or fading for the many generations it was crafted to be used.
Photos shown for listed items may be representative of the design and not the specific listed piece. Every effort is made to give an accurate description of each item.

Frequently asked questions
Can my Baptism Bowl™ be used in the actual ceremony?
Yes! Your Baptism Bowl™ is specially designed to pour the baptismal waters during the ceremony. Holy water can be housed in any clean container or vessel. We have received wonderful feedback and numerous compliments from Catholic priests, deacons and other multi-denominational ministers who have used our bowls. We do recommend, as a courtesy, that you give the priest or minister notice prior to the ceremony so that he or she may properly prepare.
