5 out of 5 starsI absolutely love this small bowl! After having purchased a few pieces for gifts I splurged and bought this one for myself. So very happy that I did. I will enjoy it in many places around my house, it makes me smile and giggle to myself. Thank you.

About MadeByMerlePottery
The pottery journey continues.....
I make and sell small batch pottery from my home studio in sunny San Diego, CA. Originally from Connecticut, I've worked my way across the country with a stop in Texas where I was introduced to clay. I've been making pottery on and off for over 40 years.
Originally trained to throw pottery on the wheel, I added slab building to my skill set after moving west to San Diego. I enjoy working with thin soft slabs, texturing them, and finally constructing them into unusual and fun containers. I work mainly in small batch designs keeping some common threads throughout my work.
All of my pottery is intended for functional use and daily enjoyment while reflecting attention to detail and joy that goes into each piece.
Thank you for taking the time to view my pottery.
