This is a beautiful platter in a warm amber color. The handwork on the platter is very lovely. I liked it so much that I bought another one. I am very pleased with my purchases from this store.

Taking a Chance to Do Something I Love!

While on an extended trip to Turkey in 2007, I became totally captivated by the people and preservation of the fine arts culture. I visited artist workshops, went to remote villages to see rugs being woven, learned how to make natural dyes, and met people who remain my friends to this day. I thought the ceramic work was breathtaking and knew that sharing this beautiful work with others was something I had to do.

I came home with contacts and a plan, resigned from my job in Corporate America, and opened my globalMarsha shop in 2008. I survived the Great Recession and flourished because good quality arts and textiles will always find their market.

I hope you enjoy your trip through our Etsy site and please contact us with questions or special requests. If you are buying a gift for someone, please leave your name and message so we can enclose a free gift card. Gift wrapping is also free! Happy shopping!

Frequently asked questions

Gift wrapping and packaging

Sometimes shippers are not careful and ceramics arrive broken. If this happens, take a picture of the broken item and email us. We will offer you an exchange or refund your money right away.
Please note that shipping costs are not refundable.

Gift wrapping and packaging

Buying an item for a present? We will gift wrap it and include a card for FREE! Just let us know when you check out if the gift is for a wedding/birthday/some other occasion. We will wrap it accordingly.

Gift wrapping and packaging

This past year Etsy has encouraged sellers to offer "free" shipping. What this usually means is that the cost of shipping is absorbed into the cost of the item. When a shop like mine ships large boxes full of breakable items, there is a lot of cost involved with that for both the shipping materials and actual shipping fee to your location. I have opted to keep shipping costs separate from the total cost of the item so the actual shipping cost is transparent for you. WE REGULARLY GIVE SHIPPING REFUNDS IF YOU HAVE PAID MORE FOR SHIPPING THAN IT COSTS TO SEND.
