Welcome back to another edition of Raise Money and get Handmade Pots for Pennies (aka, Help Gordon and Carol clear off their shelves so they can Make More Pottery)!  

 

This time we are going to donate all proceeds to StayWild Rescue in Trumansburg NY. Two of our four-legged family members, Rosie and Jethro, were rescued and adopted from there. They do AMAZING work and need our help to continue helping animals of all kinds, especially those with special needs (like our sweet little pups).

About the pots

We are NOT professional potters - we do this for fun.  These are NOT perfect. These pots vary in quality. Some are heavier than they look; others have minor glaze oopsies or came out a little funky but most we’ve just decided for some reason not to keep them. (Other than the fact that we have NO MORE ROOM and still keep on making more pots....)

​

Unless otherwise noted, these pieces are presumed food-safe, microwave-safe, and dishwasher-safe, because the glazes we use have been tested individually. However, these combinations have NOT been separately tested in a laboratory.  If you'd like to have them tested, go for it.  Some of the pieces that are glazed with celadons (Amaco brand) show little fine crackling effect... they are food safe but will probably eventually stain along the crackling lines, so don’t leave your black tea in there overnight.  Sanitize them in the dishwasher.

​

If you buy a vase or something that will have standing water in it, keep something under it until you can be sure it won't leak over time.

​

How to bid or buy

Each item has a requested minimum donation. To request an item, fill in the form at the bottom of the detail page for that group.  In the event of multiple offers on a single piece, we will offer you a chance to increase your bid if you want.  We will contact you to confirm the amount you'd like to donate and to set up payment and shipping.

​

Keep in mind that shipping is expensive.  If you can pick up from us directly or meet us in Trumansburg, Ithaca or thereabouts, that’d be the best and will save you $. Otherwise add $20 for shipping one item, and add another $5 for each additional item you are purchasing.

Happy shopping, and THANK YOU!!!
