Simple, yet distinctive.  These are made with high-fired stoneware, using food-safe glazes.  Use them for soups, salsa, dips, whatever works, or as a special piece of pottery to enjoy in your home.

The long winter months are over and the firing of new work is just beginning.

Take a look at these new pieces from my “earth forms” series.

More work to follow, so be sure to check back.

Duke Pottery is here for your shopping needs throughout the holiday season.  Weekday and evening hours are available, just give a call. Happy Holidays to you all!
