We strive to create stylish forms that are serviceable and durable. We are always reinventing to improve on the designs according to their use. We also try to imagine how each piece can be used in a variety of different ways.

An example is our platter and bowl set. Use them together to serve up chips or vegies, with your favorite dips. Remove the bowl and the "oven proof" platter can be used for roasting: chicken, meats, fish, etc. and for baking: nachos, pizza, flat breads etc. The platter is also the perfect serving dish for cold cuts, cheese and sandwiches.

The attractiveness and versatility of our pottery will allow your to use it every day as well as on all your special occasions.

Over the past fifteen years we have been perfecting our own glazes and glazing techniques including the use of local river clays. The five stage process can be compared to the Javanese method of fabric printing known as Batik. We apply the river clay to the pots, then paint on the intricate patterns using liquid wax emulsion, and finally several layers of different glazes are applied. The wax resist burns off in the glaze firing leaving an intricate pattern in dark chocolate (the river clay) against a rich background of glaze colors: plums, blues, browns, greens, and tans. The richness of this glaze blends into most decors.

In our functional line we produce mugs, goblets, steins, casseroles and baking dishes, teapots, cream & sugar sets, a wide range of bowls, roasting and serving platters, pizza and pie dishes, antipasto sets, wine and sake sets, candlesticks, etc. Casseroles and teapots have an optional heat proof trivet. Many of our pieces are designed to be multipurpose and we assure you that all our work is......
