Hedgehog Planter - $45

Add a spiky plant to complete the look! Includes drainage hole. Opening size is 3" x 2.5" and max length of the piece is 6.5" long.

Blue Rabbit Planter - $35

Who doesn't love a sleepy blue bunny to house your house plants? Opening size is 3.5" x 1.5" and max length of the piece is 7.5" long. Be warned: it does have a crack down the bottom, but it's a planter after all and the little extra drainage doesn't change functionality.

Snail Vessel - $40

I thought it would be a planter, but then I didn't put a hole in it, so now it's an ambiguous and whimsical "vessel." It put's the "woo" in "woodland" and I think this snail is a real cutie.

Rabbit Mug - $35

It's not a huge mug, but it sure is a fun one! It only holds ~8oz of liquid, but will keep your hands warm the same way holding a real rabbit might. (Ok, I know that's a stretch, but it's hard to write something clever for all of these.)

Mug of Mystery - $25

I was getting a bit experimental with shape and glaze, and I'm generally perplexed with the final outcome. It's a fine mug, don't get me wrong! It's just not the mug I thought I was creating when I sat down to make it. 10oz capacity.

Snail Mug - $40

With a capacity of a whopping 16oz, this snail mug can hang with you all day long.

Green Serving Bowl - $50

My biggest piece to-date! A beautiful display piece that could comfortably serve as your countertop fruit bowl or your family dinner salad dish. Approximately 8" wide and 3" deep.

Ridged Mug - $35

In my opinion, my best mug to-date. Thin and even walls with a mesmerizing ridged swirl inside and out. The perfect size for a 12oz cup of joe.

Ocean Insight Mug - $30

Shades of blue invoke both a tropical paradise and the deepest depths of the ocean.

Quadrant Mug - $30

The speckled undertones of ermine clay play across multiple shades of blues and greens.

Ocean Planter - $30

Whitecaps cover the surface of this ocean-inspired planter. Drainage hole at the bottom of the planter will keep plant roots happy.

Double Green Dish- $25

A little small, but really charming (relative to what I typically produce). Approximately 5" diameter and 1" wide, this little plate/bowl could be a cute snack dish, keys bowl, spare change holder, cat food bowl... Get creative!

Mini Plate - $10

Could be used for a soap dish, underneath a candle or planter, or to hold small jewelry.

Double Blue Plate - $15

Another two-toned blue plate. This one is a bit bigger (~6" diameter) but has a little of a wobbly look to it.

Metallic Rimmed Plate - $20

The colors are really cool, but there is a distinct unevenness to the rim. The speckled blue is offset by a deep metallic gray fringe. Approximately 7" diameter.

Ridged Planter - $35

Make your shallow-root plants feel at home in the planter. It's a little over 6 in diameter and 3" tall with a drainage hole in the center.

Blue Spoon Holder - $25

Nice and large to accommodate your largest utensils. Multiple ridges keep food drips off of your counter.

Big Boy Planter - $40

If you want a planter to get the job done, this guy's it! Standing at ~4.5" tall and ~7" wide, this is a great planter for your growing house plants.

Cinched Planter - $40

Another biggie that is great for your medium-sized house plants. I though the "cinched" middle would create an interesting glaze effect, but alas, glaze gonna do what it's gonna do.

Sandy Planter - $30

A medium-small planter that is a great size for small house plants. The glaze colors blend with the raw clay color to give a variety of textures in a natural-feeling color palette.

Curvy Planter - $35

This whimsical planter is reminiscent of the SpongeBob flowers. It's a little over 6" in diameter and 3" tall with a drainage hole in the center

Mint Chocolate Chip Mug - $30

The type of mug that can handle your hot morning beverage or be used in place of a desert dish for a nice ice cream treat.

Juicer - $55

Intentionally large to accommodate larger fruits, like oranges and grapefruits. The juice-catching bowl portion is 6" in diameter x 1" tall.

Mini Rusty Red Vase - $15

A small vase just over 3" tall with a top opening of 1" (widest diameter almost 3"). The rusty red coloring brings out the texture and dynamism of the piece.

Sand and Sea Bowl - $30

Not quite large enough to be a statement piece, but it's trying! Texture galore and warm pastel tones that belong in a seaside cottage.

Emerald Bowl - $30

Whatever you put in here, be it food or knickknacks, it will feel like a royal jewel in this bright emerald bowl. Large enough for a big bowl of soup.

Black and White Trio - $45

Mix and match these pieces. They can be used individually or in a variety of combinations. Note that the tall cylinder (3.5" tall x 3.5" wide) is intended to be used as a planter and has a drainage hole at the bottom.

Leaf Planter - $15

A small planter approximately 3" tall and 3.5" wide; great for succulents or other shallow-root plants. Decorated with an unending leaf pattern. Drainage hole at bottom.

Small Blue Flower Vase - $25

Fully glazed interior makes this watertight. Bare clay and freeform design helps to contrast the deep multi-faceted blue. 5" tall and 2.5" wide.

Tall Jade Planter - $20

A tall-ish planter approximately 4" tall and 3" wide. Intricate freeform pattern brings out the colors of the jade glaze. Drainage hole at bottom.

Opalescent Plate - $15

A mysterious color combination gives this small plate (6.5" wide) hints of blue, purple, and maroon. Great for a small snack or sitting under a planter.

Light Blue Plate - $15

Small (7" wide), but deceptively thick. Great for a small snack or sitting under a planter.

Strawberry Planter - $45

Although modeled after a strawberry planter, you can get creative with what you plant in here. There are four pockets that surround the walls, plus an open top, which means it could house a hoard of seeds. Stands at 9" tall.

Mega Mug - $30

She's a beefy one. This is a great size if you like an extra large cup of coffee in the morning. Height of 4" and mount 5" in diameter. Warning - it's a bit on the heavy side, but it's perfect for warming up your hands on a cold day.

Landscape Planter - $30

Bring the mountains indoors and remind your plants of their outdoor ancestors. Works great for shallow-root plants, like succulents. 7.5" long x 4" wide x 2.5" tall.

This little cutie is great for a tiny plant looking for a good home. Planter stands 2.5" tall and 3.5" wide.

Black and White Bowl - $25

This wide and shallow bowl would look good as a serving bowl. The crackling texture in the center give's it some pizzaz. 8.5" wide x 2" tall.

Slate Blue Mug #1 - $25

Slightly tapered two-tone mug that is a comfortable work-side companion. Medium size. 3.5" tall x 3.5" wide mouth.

Irish Loch Bowl - $25
