5 out of 5 starsLove the size and versatility of this piece. Looking forward to hanging it on the wall. It is a very soft brush of green which is quite wonderful and perfect setting for a splash of flowers. So happy.

5 out of 5 starsThis wonderful folded box is perfect. The dogwood design inside the dish is delightful. Each night I put my watch and ring safely in its folds and when I put them on in the morning I am greeted by the lovely dogwood. Thank you.

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely love this piece. Gave it to my sister who is an artist herself and she was tickled with it. It is now front and center with her various collections of brushes.

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.
