The pottery on this page may be ordered through this website. I intend to install a shopping cart, for your convenience, at a later date. Until then, you can contact me via email to make payment and shipping arrangements.
All of the
ceramic pumpkins pictured here are functional, high-fired stoneware. They are food safe, microwavable, ovenware (where applicable), and dishwasher safe. Like the rest of my
ceramics, these are individually hand-thrown on my potter’s wheel. This doesn’t just
imply that they will vary in shape from piece to piece – it guarantees it!!
Because of this variation in shape and color from piece to piece, if you decide to order one of the
stoneware pumpkins I can send you a jpeg of the specific piece for prior-to-shipping approval.
The pumpkin teapot
($62 + shipping) is approximately 6-6 ˝ “ in diameter, and about 4-4 ˝” in height. That measurement is the body of the
ceramic pumpkin only – the handles vary (may add an additional 4’ in height and width).
It is made (as I make all my pottery teapots) with a strainer opening between the body and the spout so that you can steep loose leaf tea in this pot.
The pumpkin candy dish ($44 + shipping) is essentially the same body
size as the pumpkin teapot (I often throw the bodies on the same day and make some into
pumpkin teapots, some into pumpkin candy dishes).
Yes, I started out making these as a “candy dish”, but as soon as I added the
ceramic pumpkin casserole to the “line”, and people were made aware
that the piece was food-safe, ovenware, and microwavable, people started buying these as vegetable servers. My customers are smart people!
The pumpkin
casserole ($68 + shipping) At the time I started making these, I was already making what I call my standard
ceramic 2 quart casserole. I sized this (meaning: I use the same amount of clay) to be the same volume as those casseroles. Unlike the top handle on all of my other pumpkins, I make this handle attach
to the body/lid in two places. I do this so that it is a completed loop – sturdier and easier to grab while wearing hot mitts.
Leaves
($52 + shipping) I have been making these stoneware leaves for several years now. They function swell as a decorative serving bowl. They are shallow, but nearly 14” at their widest. People often ask me “So, what kind of leaf IS it?”.
Good question.
It is a leaf of my own invention. For nearly thirty years now I have, in some way, used a maple leaf as a motif in my pottery. It stems back to when I had a maple tree shading my studio. I would pick leaves and embed them in my pottery. Many patterns evolved from there.
