FREE POTTERY!

I'm cleaning out my place since I have to move in a month and a half - and I am getting rid of a lot of old pottery. This is stuff that is generally from my first 4-8 months of pottery-making, things that are not quite good/perfect enough to sell or to give as gifts, but still work and you may want.
So, if you want any of these things, let me know. FREE! First come, first served... and if you live outside Boston then you just have to pay for shipping :)

Blue-Grey Decorated Bowl, 7" diameter
why I'm not gifting/selling: slightly warped, outside a little weird looking
why you might still want it: still works as a bowl!


Blue and Rust bowl, 7.5" diameter
why I'm not gifting/selling: just not super refined looking. Quite warped/elliptical
why you might still want it: has a really interesting glaze effect on the inside and outside




Rust/Copper Vase, 8.5" tall
why I'm not gifting/selling: Kind of thick and heavy at the bottom
why you might still want it: Cool metallic glaze, and very stable so could hold tall/large flowers





Orange, Purple, and Grey Waved Bowl, 8" diameter
why I'm not gifting/selling: this was mostly an experiment in colored slips and glaze effects... so it is kinda odd looking
why you might still want it: this was mostly an experiment in colored slips and glaze effects... so it is kinda odd looking


Mocha Vase, 8" tall
why I'm not gifting/selling: This was an experiement in altering the form, so it is a little odd looking
why you might still want it: could be a cool decorative shelf piece






Set of 3 Rust and Blue Mixing Bowls, 8.5", 9.5", and 11" in diameter (TAKEN)
why I'm not gifting/selling: these were made as a gift but then MAJORLY warped in the glaze kiln. The middle one is severely elliptical.
why you might still want it: they are huge bowls, still functional as mixing or serving vessels, and have a beautiful rust color on the inside and blue color on the outside.



Brown and Blue Bowl, 7" diameter (TAKEN)
why I'm not gifting/selling: was an early work of Ms. Rose, and while nice it just isnt super refined... and is a tiny bit warpedwhy you might still want it: really cool glaze effect. could be good decorative piece to spice up your home (and make the ladies think you have artistic taste)

Soft Yellow Chips and Salsa Set, 10" and 5" diameter
why I'm not gifting/selling: the glaze made some weird little bubbles underneath the big piece, and it isnt perfectly round. I made this my 2nd month of working with clay.
why you might still want it: Definitely functional and has a pretty glaze


Set of 2 Blue and Rust Bowls, 6.5" and 7.5" diameter (TAKEN)
why I'm not gifting/selling: Just sort of "meh". The tiniest bit warped.
why you might still want it: Functional, and cool glazing on the inside and outside. Nest pretty well for deliciously easy storage














Black and Yellow Leave-Carved Bowl, 5.5" diameter and 5.5" tall
why I'm not gifting/selling: Cute, but not very refined
why you might still want it: Still pretty, and the carved leaf decoration on the outside is nice





Green Rounded Pitcher, 6" tall
why I'm not gifting/selling: Kind of thick sides (was the first pitcher I made) and the spout dribbles a little bit
why you might still want it: The glaze is translucent and has a neat crackling effect... this could make a great decorative piece



Beige and Pink Vase, 6" tall
why I'm not gifting/selling: kind of warped sides, not very refined
why you might still want it: still works as a vase!

  1. Hi! Any guess how much the shipping is? If it's not crazy, I would love either the green pitcher or the waved bowl
