Pottery with a Point Of View
Featured Pots
The subtle green and gold shimmer of these salad/dessert/appetizer plates sets them apart. At 7” in diameter, with a 1/4” raised rim, they are perfect for pie a la mode. You can def let the ice cream get a little melty the way you like it. On white stoneware.
The combination of Iron celadon (brown) and Indigo Float (that glowing blue!) makes this sweet little serving dish a show-stopper. Beautiful on its own or holding a candle, candy or, candidly, anything. On white stoneware. 5-1/2” edge to edge, 2” high.
Deep Firebrick and Seaweed glazes work their magic on this small lidded canister. Perfect in the powder room holding q-tips, on a shelf or prettying up the kitchen table. Just under 6” tall with lid by 3-3/4 in circumference. On hazelnut stoneware.
Matches the Fire and Sea bowl, sold separately.
My POV
After a year of pottering, I found myself with lots of pots and less and less room to store them. Also, I sometimes get a sense that a certain pot seems to “belong” to someone. They might be celebrating, or grieving, or having a moment. Or maybe they just need to know someone is paying attention. So I started mailing out stealth pots along with a short note. It’s a ton of fun.
One friend called and said, “How did you know? I was feeling really low today and then your sweet pot arrived in the mail!” People send me photos of the piece in their home. I’ve received long letters and short texts expressing wonder and gratitude. The element of surprise, the delight in being “thought of”, and the pleasure of having something handmade are some kind of secret sauce. So now I’m on a mission to give people a little boost. I’m the lucky one, because there are dear people in my life who smile when they see that little pot.
