Handmade in Georgia from Georgia clay

Several of our pieces are made with a clay mined and processed close-by in Lizella, GA!  It’s a type of good ol’ Georgia red clay.  You’ll notice it’s courser than most pottery clays producing a more primitive, organic look.  You can recognize it by the dark brownish-red bottom on finished pieces. Lizella clay is used by potters all over the United States and is known for the gorgeous finishes that are produced once it’s glazed,

Lizella clay is fairly porous and not leak-proof long term.  So we recommend it for serving but not for storage of liquids.  It will hold liquids fine for a short period of time, but they will leach through if left sitting for several hours.  Candles do fine—the wax seals the more porous material.  But we encourage you to not place any pottery pieces on furniture that could be damaged by liquid or heat from candles. Nor should it be microwaved.
