Two Baskets

Two Ceramic Baskets

I’m sometimes asked what I use these basket forms for… Being the compulsive collector I am, around our place they hold small rocks, fortune cookie wishes, rubber bands, pencils and more. I even use one for gum wrappers and flotsam in my van. Wide base keeps it stabile. Add a 4″ pansy and voila, you have a hostess gift. Larger basket $45, smaller $35.

Two Handled Vases

Two Handled Vases

These two stoneware vases with top handles will help hold flowers in place when you use them for arrangements. They are both in the dark brown glaze without the usual gold glaze drips. A client wanted one this way and they look rather stately. These are 11″ tall – $50 ea.

Sans Frond Boat Bowls

Variation of leaf bowls

Variation of Leaf Boat Bowls

When the customers asked for these bowls without the “frond” I was a little miffed as that is what makes the leaf bowls unique, but after making these two, I found they could have just as much personality with their off-centered shape and wavy sides. Handles aren’t for everyone and this handsome set will probably survive dishwashers (both human and machine) as well as fit into the cupboard much better without. $140 for this set.

Trophy Wife


This stoneware sculpture was defiantly done many moons ago and I’m still waiting for the right person to come along who needs to have it. It was created after receiving a string of show rejections and the scratches of porcelain inlay and 23k gold leaf addition say it all. Felt really good to make and it still holds up when I look at her. Think she’s about 24″ tall – $ 999. I dare you to buy her.
Available for purchase.

Ikebana Vessel

Long Vessel

This piece was made custom for a Sogetsu arranger who decided to get a different piece in the end. I like how it flows but has surprising bends and dents. It would look great filled overflowing with food and flowers and all manner of things. Stoneware, highfired for durability. About 20″ long 8-9″ wide, 6″ tall.  This piece found a home but could be custom ordered $150+/-.

“Little Bird”

This woodfired vase came out of the kiln so bloated and odd looking it seemed like a disaster. The bubbles are from gases trying to escape the molten clay when it started to harden in the firing. So ugly she is beautiful. It sits looking like a chubby canary. 8″ x 7″ = $195
