OldDogPottery

Announcement    Welcome to our Etsy Shop.
Our most recent restock was November 2024. Next planned restock will be February 2025, for updates please check back here or follow us on Instagram.


We hand make, mostly on a potters wheel, each piece of our pottery in our mountain top studio in Central Arkansas. We have been studio mates working together since the late 1970's. All pieces are priced with shipping included.

ABOUT OUR PROCESS, PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY
Be aware that you are purchasing a handmade item and unlike machine made pottery our pieces will have variations with some surface markings.
In SOME cases we have multiples of certain pieces and do not photograph each one in a particular glaze therefore the piece you order may not have the exact features of the posted item, but it will be very close. Glaze and size variations are to be expected in handmade pottery. We photograph in a controlled studio light box which generally produces a fairly accurate, though not perfect color representation. We offer several units of a particular piece with each shop update and since each is handmade one at a time, the described size and volume may vary, though we strive for some uniformity.

We fire 95% of our work in a gas fired reduction kiln which produces a rich surface and some interesting glaze effects. Handmade pottery is perfectly imperfect, meaning our handmade pieces will have evidence of the human hand. As a buyer you can expect well-crafted pottery created to function for its' intended purpose but without the uniformities found in machine made, mass produced ware. The best part about collecting and using pottery in your daily rituals is not matching your pieces but finding something interesting about each individual piece.

Our pottery is intended for daily use, therefore it is lead free and safe to use in the dishwasher and microwave oven. Oven use is not recommended.

ABOUT SHIPPING, PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY
We ship only within the contiguous United States. Please be sure to enter an accurate shipping address, double check numbers and street names. In most cases we ship USPS so we need an address where you receive mail. Some larger pieces or orders with many individual pieces ship Fed Ex so an appropriate delivery address is necessary. Alaska and Hawaii customers are welcome to place an order, but please understand because we offer free shipping it may not be feasible for us to absorb all shipping costs for larger pieces such as mixing bowls, canister sets and other pieces in that range. You may contact us to check what an additional cost to you would be.
We do not accept returns as packing handmade pottery to ship back to us tricky and will likely result in broken pottery, if you decide to cancel your order before we ship, please contact us immediately and understand that our shop will incur fees for cancelations, so please be careful when ordering. Each added fee that we incur will add cost to our products, our desire is to keep those extra costs down for our customers' benefit. After shipment, order cannot be cancelled.

Most orders are shipped from our shop within 1-5 days Priority Mail or USPS Ground and are insured. Larger pieces are occasionally shipped Fed Ex.
