Great product and quality. I would suggest having dimensions in the description. These will only fit small apples. So that is the only downside. My suggestion would be to also offer a bigger size for larger apples. Thanks!

MADE OF CLAY/MOTHER EARTH POTTERY/AUNT CHRIS' POTTERY

We began our pottery business in Lincoln, Nebraska. I had rented studio space at the Burkholder Project in the Hay Market District as a painter when we were given a great opportunity. We bought Jim Brown's existing pottery and he was able to move. We made oval shapes for a flower growing company, clay for a small state college, sold supplies to other potters, I taught lessons, my husband made glazes and fired the kiln and repaired kilns. Meanwhile I learned to be productive as we sold everything we ever. We were well received.
In 1993, we moved our pottery to Branson, USA. We worked for Branson Arts Council sharing making clay creations with children on the potter's wheel every summer. We made pottery for retail shops mostly in the Mid-west. Arts and Craft events in NW Arkansas, Mt. Vernon, and all over the midwest.
We now live and work and play in Joplin, We have a studio in Joplin that will be open to the public soon as we remodel. However if you are interested in an appointment we can work that out too. Our work is available at Spiva Center for the Arts. Christina teaches clay sculpting classes at April's Art House.

Other location includes: Terra Studios, Fayetteville, Ar (Durham, AR.)
