Take a look at my March Kiln Opening offerings (click here)
This pottery is hand made, glazed, and fired by either me or my wife. You will, hopefully, notice that our skills have improved and we believe that these items are worthy of being placed on your table or mantle. Please take a look. If there are any imperfections, I will point them out in my description. All handmade pottery is just that - made by hand with the touch of the potter still visible. You may find slight swirls, impressions, changes in glaze coverage, or other marks you normally won't find in production made pieces. That's the beauty of 'hand made'. It also won't say 'Made in China' on the bottom!!!
These are all one-of-a-kind so order just one of each and, if it is sold, I will mark it SOLD as soon as possible. If you order it and it is already sold, I will immediately refund your payment. Consider all items as 'decorative' since, while glazed with food-safe ingredients, I can't, for legal reasons, guarantee that they are food safe. We use quite a few pieces in our kitchen and we're still here!!
I also have several videos on YouTube that show me opening the kiln and taking out many of these pieces. Just search for 'pensandcalls' to see them. Feel free to comment.
Several new pieces added to replace those sold.

Slip Coated Vase

Special Bowl with Slip Accents
This 7" diameter bowl was made on the wheel and then, as it was spinning, I took two colors of slip and squirted it onto the bowl. The colors are a dark brown and a green/gray. Slip is a thin clay slurry. I then coated the entire bowl with clear glaze to make it permanent.
