Nearly all of my pottery is produced on the potter's wheel. I have found that process to be my most efficient way of working. I really enjoy making pieces that are lovely and useful, and hope that should you buy any, that you will use your pottery instead of putting it away to keep it safe from harm.

Chip & Dip. Two bowls -- large approx. 11" dia., 4" tall; small 4" dia., 3" tall. Brown stoneware, white stoneware slip, colored underglazes, clear glaze. Fired to cone 5-6 oxidation.
Serving Bowl. Approx. 11" dia., 4" tall. Brown stoneware, white stoneware slip, colored underglazes, clear glaze. Fired to cone 5-6 oxidation.

Syrup Pitcher and Saucer. Approx. 2" dia., 3-1/2" tall. Brown stoneware, red iron oxide, brown glaze interior, unglazed exterior. Fired to cone 5-6 oxidation.
Serving Bowl. Approx. 10" dia., 2-1/2" tall. Brown stoneware, white stoneware slip, colored underglazes, clear glaze. Fired to cone 5-6 oxidation.
Butter Bell. The tallest is approx. 4" height, and the lids fit tightly. One puts butter into the bell (see foreground item), which is actually the bottom of the lid. Fill the body of the container with water up to an inch or so, and put the butter-filled lid on the container. Since oil and water don't mix, the butter remains undisturbed by the water. The water keeps the butter cool and soft, ready to spread. Change out the water every 2-3 days. This can be kept right on the table or counter.
Covered Casserole Baker. This is a smaller casserole, probably a good size for 2-4 people. When using hand-made pottery in the oven, always pre-heat the pottery along with the oven, then fill it. The sudden cool-to-hot of putting a piece of pottery into a hot oven can cause cracking from thermal shock.
Utensil Holder. There is no reason to hide the utensils away when they can be stored in a lovely container on your kitchen counter.
Pitcher. Approximately 8" tall. Use these to serve your favorite beverage. Brightens any tabletop.
Oil and Bread Serving Plate. A ring is thrown into the middle of the plate, into which you can pour your favorite dipping oil or sauce. Line the outside with some crunchy bread.
Deep-Curve Serving Bowls. These bowls have a beautiful, deep curve thanks to a tool designed specifically for that shape. They are decorated inside and out, and have a leaf on the very bottom of the foot as well.
Egg Poacher. This is a nifty little piece. This is used in the microwave to poach an egg. Lightly coat the inside with olive oil, break the egg and drop it into the dish. Cover with the lid -- vented with a hole in the handle of the lid -- and microwave for about 38-40 seconds on high.
Lidded Jar. I designed this to serve as either a container with a lid, or a vase. The exterior is covered with various leaves, stained brown with iron oxide and otherwise left as raw (but fired) clay. The top, interior, and lid are glazed. The leaf on the lid is that of a gingko, one of my favorite leaves.
Wine Chiller. All I had was a bottle of red, but the principle still serves! Place the empty chiller in the refrigerator a couple of hours prior to use, then set out with your bottle of chilled wine tucked inside. The clay retains the coolness and keeps the bottle cooler for a longer period than if it sat out alone.
Wine Chiller. The same idea with a different aesthetic. The green glaze is the same as that seen on the lidded jar above. The leaves on this particular chiller are gingko, but they can be done using any leaves. The interior is fully glazed. Salut!
