Presidio of Monterey...

It's nice when a customer introduces us to something new. We googled this name after we made this piece and found that it is a town in California.
Here is a wiki link: to Presidio of Monterey

It's nice to see some Hometown Love being shared.

Pittsburgh first stop for Ducky International Traveller...

This duck has been making it's journey around the world. And, lucky for us, it's first stop in the States was in our hometown of Pittsburgh, PA.
 It was a very exciting day for us 'burghers. 
The duck is here through October 20th and can be visited at Point State Park downtown.





 Floating away in the sunset.
 It drew a huge crowd!
I think Zotter The Potter is so lucky to have Pittsburgh as it's hometown.

Thank you for thinking of us. Our pieces can't be left out in climates that experience freezing ice as that can cause water to expand within our stoneware and crack the pot. We can work with you on this project if you  interested. Most of our pieces can be customized.
 
Thank you,

Hi. I am writing because I just saw your website on pinterest. I have one of your crocks, which I was given by my aunt for my wedding 07/11/2009. I adore it and proudly display it, despite my aunt\'s  misprint (it says 07/25/09). I am wondering if you would have a method/suggestion for covering the error. Do you perhaps sell something i could adhere to it? I hope to enjoy this for many years to come and receive many compliments on it. Sincerely,
Jessica (and Samuel) G


Thank you for your note.
I'm sorry to hear about the misprint.
I always think that setting your names and date in our stoneware is almost as good as setting it in stone.
There is nothing I can send to correctthe misprint.
I can offer you 50% off to replace your piece if you would like.
Let me know if you would like to replace your crock.
Thank you again,
Jocelyn

From Gift Recipient to paying it forward...


Wedding Gift message Idea:  
We are so happy for both you! May your marriage be full of friendship, happiness, love and memories!


 Vanessa M., Z12999 from Waxhaw, NC. received her gift June 11th.
 She placed her first order June 12th.
I love when gift recipients pay their gift forward. It's my favorite kind of "new business".
I had taken a picture of the gift she received, shown above, before we shipped it to her.
I thought it turned out pretty well myself.

Michael Rozzi's first Batter Bowl listed on Etsy sold so fast...

 *****
We were so excited to see how quickly Mike's 1-Qt batter bowl sold through our Etsy site. We listed it on the 12th and it sold within 24 hours. I should be surprised, it's a great piece to have and use. It is functional and beautiful; two qualities important to me. The ergonomic hand-feel is amazing.

Update: We got some feedback from the customer who bought this batter bowl.
She wrote:  Stunningly Beautiful. Perfect in every way. Love this. Thank you Stacey B.


 We are listing a few more of his batter bowls on the Etsy site. I hope they sell as well as this one.

Customer Testimonial:
