I make stoneware pottery to be used and enjoyed every day. Each piece is handmade from nontoxic clay and lead-free, food-safe glaze. You can pop your new pot in the microwave or dishwasher, but please keep it out of the oven and avoid prolonged exposure to acidic food Most of my work is made with a really special clay formulated by the folks at Standard Ceramics. It transforms into a delicious dark chocolate color after the second firing. This clay loves to peek through the glazes and highlights hand carved designs nicely. All of my glaze colors complement each other, so you can "mix and match" with confidence.
