Rosy Lidded Box - $45

This rosy metallic container is a great place to keep a secret. Or stickers, dice, keys, jewelry, and other practical objects.

Narrow Bottomed Bowl - $35

Beautiful shades of greens and blues that evoke fresh moss glistening in the sun. A great all-purpose bowl!

Caramel Jar - $35

I love this piece! Warm colors and straight walls mean it can be used for storing all sorts of fun things. The Lid can be turned over to double as a small cup.

Dimple Jar - $35

The dimples make this very easy to hold in your hand, in case you want to keep your jarred keepsakes close at all times.

Heart Hanging Vase - $25

A delightful pop of color to brighten your wall! This is small (appx. 5" in hight") and is not water tight, so works well with fake or dried flowers. Bouquet in photo not included.

Wall Boobies - $30

Every home needs a pair of cute boobies on display! Fill these up with bath salts or dried flowers. Note: not water-tight.

Crown Hanging Vase - $25

Put your royal pieces on display. Not water tight, so works well with fake or dried flowers.

A place to put cute little things on display. Not water tight, so works well with fake or dried flowers. Flowers in photo not included.

Rabbit Hanging Vase - $20

A piece for a rabbit lover. Price reduced due to ear repair. Note: not water tight.

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.

Dark Metallic Bowl - $25

This is a raku piece, which gives it that alluring shimmer. However, due to the firing process, this bowl is not vitrified (meaning it does not hold water and is therefore not food safe).

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.

Snail Mug - $40

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

Fanfare Planter - $25

There is a lot of physical and visual texture in this piece. Great for a small plant.

Volcano Vase - $25

Small but mighty, with dragon-fire colors and texture. Note: raku-fired, therefore not water tight.

"Dem Eyebrows" Vase - $15

I did not mean for the pattern to look like anything in particular, but every time I see it I think to myself "dem eyebrows!" (from the show "Derry Girls"). This raku-fired piece is not vitrified (meaning it does not hold water and is therefore not food safe).

Display Tray - $50

A little over a foot long, this works great as a serving or display platter. Horse hair compliments the maroon and turquoise coloring. This is a raku piece, therefore not explicitly food safe, however dry foods (crackers, nuts, etc.) would be fine.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
