my pieces
woven pottery artwork
Woven Pottery pieces are one of kind and will not be exactly repeated or reproduced, however you can contact me to request a variation on the theme if the piece you are interested in is no longer available.
pottery pieces
Each pottery piece is made by hand and is therefore unique and may include slight variations in glaze finish or other surface embellishment. Style availability for pottery pieces is on a first-come, first served basis, and there is no guarantee your favorite style will be repeated. Feel free to contact me to inquire if I might have an item on hand that is not currently listed in my shop.
food safe? dishwasher safe? microwave safe?
All functional pottery that has been designed for a food-related purpose is food safe and can be washed in the dishwasher*. Having said that, handwashing your pottery will reduce any likelihood of damage.
*Note: any items that have a gold luster should not go in the microwave and should be hand washed.
Is there a guarantee period?
By its nature pottery can be broken. Beyond damage incurred during shipping, I am not responsible for issues or loss once you take possession of your piece, including but not limited to dropping or otherwise mistreating of any pottery pieces. In general, care should be taken to not shock your pottery piece with dramatic temperature changes – going from freezer to oven, putting directly on a fire or stove-top element, pouring in boiling water, etc. – as this can result in your piece cracking which may or may not become immediately apparent.
how much will they hold?
The volume of a mug or tumbler is measured full to the rim for easy comparison. If you are looking for a specific capacity, I suggest filling a similar mug to the rim and measuring its volume and base your choice upon that.
is that really the color?
Every effort is made to accurately represent colors in each listing; however, actual color may vary slightly from screen to screen due to image lighting, technology settings and other limitations.
listing errors?
We’re all human, after all: If errors in pricing are shown in the shop, then I reserve the right not to sell at the listed price. You will be notified if such a discrepancy is an issue.
