Gift giving ideas for the holidays 

Finding the right gift for someone can be hard. Especially if the already have everything good.   A lot of people don't realize what a thoughtful and unique gift hand-crafted pottery can be.  Decorative pieces are good for the first-time homeowner or domestic goddess in your life, while the functional and practical pieces work great for budding professional and college students alike.

Here we have jotted some suggestions or feedback that we have heard from people who have seen or received Nancy's work.

Functional Gifts

 All this pottery is microwave and dishwasher safe!
  • Mugs - Great for college students who drink coffee or tea,  or for those beginning or celebrating a job(where a desk, and mug are implied) .
  • Plates - Great for housewarming or dorm warming  gifts or for the one who likes the unique kitchen ware.
  • Bowls - The soup lover in my family was the perfect recipient of an oversized soup bowl.   Smaller ones are  great for distinctive ice cream dishes.
  • Utensil / Pencil Holders - Great idea for who ever runs the kitchen.  Keep all of your utensils in close range, while keeping them beautifully out of sight.
  • Flour / Sugar / Coffee / Tea Containers ( Misc. sizes too !) -
    Clean up those counters and add a great conversation piece.  These beautiful pieces keep your staples safe and accessible.

Decorative Gifts

  • Clocks - Elegant ceramic clocks go just about anywhere. Your choice of glaze will decide if the clock has a mild personality or screams for attention.
  • Tiled Art - Simple images etched on 4 or more clay tiles. Great cabinet inlays for tiled kitchens.
  • Urns - Decorative urns look  great on mantles.
  • Carafes - Tall and skinny carafe make excellent vases. (though vases may also be ordered)
  • Teapots (Completely Functional!) - Great for microwaving water to serve tea or cocoa. Perfect for the college with restricted access to stoves, or the rushing mother.
  • Trinkets / Ornaments - Perfect for anyone you care for. These simple and sentimental gifts just say that you care. Various styles and patterns.
