For those of you who Saw us in the Country Sampler we have added information and options on those EZ Order Sampler items here as well. You may choose any finish, pattern and add custom lettering to most products for something totally different and you. If not possible on "as shown" Sampler items, simply make those desires known in the cart checkout order comment boxes.

A new item recently added to our catalog here are our NEW Tile Murals that are available for EZ order and not limited to 1 only. Show are two murals available in a 20 count 6x6 inch tile arrangement.
NEW for 07 is Half Primitive Finish a blend of Primitive and Traditional for most pieces. For older products just add those instructions during checkout if you want a particular piece in Half Primitive or NEW Black (K) and it is not an option yet. (or use the contact us link to the left after you have ordered)

Our Pottery is made in the USA by skilled artisans here in Monmouth Illinois. Each piece is made the old fashion way by hand, decorated by hand and then loaded by hand into a kiln. We use the primitive techniques where rock salt is introduced during the firing process to create a durable salt glaze finish. Because of the nature in which it is created, no two pieces will ever be exactly alike. As with any handmade ware, each piece will be unique.

For totally unique pottery pieces ( in custom colors, 3D textures, carvings and more ) for fundraisers or auctions check out our Stoneware Gallery then call for a quote.

With our Traditional Finish the salt glaze appearance is buff gray to light tan in color. This is a nice choice for design rich products or a more quite, contemporary appearance.

Our very popular Primitive Brown salt glaze finish has been recently introduced. This method provides a very beautiful antique reproduction appearance. The intensity of the brown varies from piece to piece and, because of the natural organic materials in the clay,  handing marks may be evident. These imperfections only add to the uniqueness of each piece.
