Welcome to our shop and our exquisite hand-made redware pottery! Crafted with care using our special blend of clays from various regions across the United States, each piece is a testament to our dedication to quality and color control. Rick employs the traditional art of slip trailing, adorning these pots with a variety of clay colors. Meanwhile, Garine employs the sgraffito and stamping techniques, creating intricate patterns by unveiling the vibrant red clay underneath the yellow slip. Fired twice for durability, our pots showcase a delightful, slightly aged appearance with subtle glaze crazing. As a charming touch, our plates bear the adorable paw prints left by our beloved Siamese cat, Ashby.
~ While our redware pottery is not immune to extreme temperature changes, our pie plates and baking dishes can be used for baking when gradually warmed.
~ Platters and plates are best served at room temperature or slightly warmed before presenting hot delicacies.
~ Please note that redware, by its nature, retains some porosity. While it can hold liquids for short periods, we do not recommend long-term storage.
~ If you use our redware as a vase, we suggest placing a liner inside to safeguard your furniture.
