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.
RECENT REVIEWS:

5 out of 5 starsThese egg poachers are so useful. I store mine in the cabinet above the microwave for a super convenient and fun, easy breakfast. Crack a couple of eggs in there, stab the yolks with a fork so they don't explode, and cook ~50 seconds. Eat right out of it, and enjoy how cute it is. This saves dishes. Can also add ham or cheese or other flavors. Love it so much that I bought a second one for when the first is in the dishwasher. I'm a several-repeat buyer at this store over the last few years - every product is amazing, and the seller Jim is consistently friendly and helpful each time.

5 out of 5 starsAmazing quality! And works really well. I messed up and didn't realize it would be quite small. I would recommend getting a bigger one if you have more than two pots to fill at a time. But love the product. Highly recommend!

5 out of 5 starsI was searching for a terracotta pot with a little more pizzazz than the normal ones you see at the store and this was exactly that! I put in my order at night and Jim had it shipped by the next morning. Wonderful customer service and communication. My string of pearls looks wonderful in their new home!
