Handmade Functional Stoneware Pottery

• All functional pottery is made of high fire stoneware clays and fired to temperatures above 2000°F.

• Non-Toxic, glazes used are 100% food safe and fused to the clay body.

• Elegant serving for hot or cold dishes, suitable for baking, microwave and dishwasher safe.

• Avoid Temperature extremes. Do not place over open flame. When baking place in cool oven. Do not put hot pottery into freezer or refrigerator.

• Variations in size (up to 15%), and color is common and desirable with handmade pottery. These mugs are available small medium and large with or without lizards.

Lizard Rock Boxes

Inspired by desert geological forms and adorned with one or more lizards, these boxes open to reveal a geode like surprise of colorful melted glass mixed with glazes.  The interior represents a hidden life sustaining pool of water in the desert. Signed numbered series.
