Announcement
Welcome! If you are interested in handmade pottery with an emphasis on gesture and movement, then maybe you'll find something you like here. Read more for "WHY NO FREE SHIPPING."
SHOP STATEMENT:
A good pot is every bit as expressive as the best painting or sculpture, plus functional ceramic art appeals to the sense of touch more than any other art form—a hot cup of tea in your hand, a cup of coffee to your lips.
SAFETY:
All the pots that are made to contain food or drink are food-safe, microwave-safe, and dishwasher-safe.
SHIPPING:
Priority Mail: 1-4 days.
Parcel Select: 2-9 days.
Pottery is heavy and fragile so shipping is always expensive. I use 200# test boxes, lots of foam and bubble wrap, double-box when necessary and take the time to pack so that you don't get a box full of shards. If you order more than one item the shipping charge may be off a bit. If you overpay I will refund the difference when the order ships. Check with me if you have any questions about shipping.
WHY NO FREE SHIPPING? First of all, there's no such thing as "free shipping". Shops that offer it just add the shipping to the price of the item. This is unfair because the cost of shipping depends on how far the item has to travel. I'm in Georgia. Shipping a pot that cost $19.71 to ship to California only cost $8.35 to ship to Florida. Obviously, If I add enough to the price of the pot to cover shipping to California I vastly overcharge customers who don't live on the West Coast. I've decided to offer a fairer, cheaper shipping. It is based on the actual cost of shipping but set so that the shipping you pay is usually a little less than the actual shipping and I cover the cost of insurance.
INTERNATIONAL ORDERS:
I do ship internationally. You can find the cost of shipping in the store unless you live in a country that I do not ship to because of problems with delivery, customs or insurance or because other retailers have reported problems shipping to the country you live in (such as Italy, Russia, and Brazil). Shipping will be expensive because the over-packing necessary to avoid breakage adds weight to the package. If It turns out I can ship for significantly less than you were charged (likely if you buy several items) I will refund the over-payment.

5 out of 5 starscan’t get enough of this mug, it was a wild card because of the wobbly form- it was either gonna be a hit or a miss. It’s awesome! I love the wide base (doesn’t tip on the couch) and the handle has a nice horizontal quality that makes it really comfy to hold. Good capacity and a nice tactile finish from the firing process.
