Welcome to our heirloom quality redware, handmade and decorated by using our special clay mix and unique lead-free glaze. In order for us to control color and quality, we blend our own clay from five different clays found in different parts of the United States. Rick uses an old decorating technique called "slip trailing" to decorate the pots with different colors of clays. Garine uses the sgraffito and stamping techniques. Sgraffito cuts through the yellow slip on the surface to reveal the red body of the clay beneath and stamping is using a found object to add the slips to the surface of the pot, thus creating a pattern. All our pots are fired twice and have slight crazing in various degrees on the surface of the glaze to make them look old. Most of our plates also have cat paw prints impressed on the back that were originally created by our Siamese cat, Ashby.
- While our redware pottery is not immune to extreme temperature changes, our pie plates and baking dishes can be used for baking when gradually warmed.
- Platters and plates are best served at room temperature or slightly warmed before presenting hot delicacies.
- Please note that redware, by its nature, retains some porosity. While it can hold liquids for short periods, we do not recommend long-term storage.
- If you use our redware as a vase, we suggest placing a liner inside to safeguard your furniture.
