Current turnaround time...

Hi, there. I just came across your pottery. Any chance you are able to create orders faster than the timeline? My parents anniversary is June 6. I could have this mailed directly to them if you think it would be there in time.

We are currently making orders for our late June kiln load.
Pittsburgh was under mandatory business shutdown from March 19th until today, May 15th, so we have just come out of covid now into yellow phase. Our business waiver application was denied as a "nonessential" business.

Our current turnaround time runs 3-8 weeks as noted on our webstore.

Many of our customers print a picture off our website to include within their gift card to let the recipient know there is something being custom made for them if they don't have gift in hand.

Question of the day: Can we use your glazed stoneware in the traditional oven?

One of my favorite pieces from our last kiln load. Anniversary Crock with Anchor logo. Shane & Audrey were "Anchored" in 2000.--J

 Customer Question of the Day:

We have some zotter pottery from about 15 years ago … we know it is food, microwave and dishwasher safe but can we use it in the traditional oven and if so, what would the recommended temperature range be? 

Thanks so much …

Dianne and Rich 


Answer:  Pottery bakeware should always either be pre-heated with the oven or placed in a cold oven.

Question of the day...

Awesome, thanks for the update. Any delays due to the virus?

Unfortunately, we've gotten a few holds from customers who are dealing with postponed weddings because of the virus. We feel for the brides and grooms who are having to delay their special day for sure.

Question of the day...


What is the name of the design shown on the 50 th anniversary crock? How tall is it please? Thanks

 


That is our monogram logo in which you can specify letter or number. It is on our most popular shape called the marriage crock which measures approximately 7.5 tall by 5.5 wide. It is often used to hold flowers or kitchen utensils.

We also got this nice note attached to an order today. Sometimes, people say the nicest things that can truly make my day:

 

Message from Morgan

"Thanks so much for the quick reply - I just placed the order.
My parents were actually gifted a personalized crock several years ago and my sister and I have always loved it so much. We finally turned it around the other day and saw your logo stamped on the back! I know she will be so excited to get her own crock :)"

We got a beautiful customer picture today...


We got a beautiful customer picture today. I love horses and dogs, so it was easy to love the picture.

I remember this project because the customer ordered three of the same pitchers. The newly married couple kept one, and gave the other pitchers to their parents. What do you think of this picture?





"Gifted to our fathers on our wedding day. A new family heirloom! They absolutely loved."

Custom logo work...


Did you know we do custom logos too?

Here is a special request from a customer who wanted two bears within a heart for their own special reasons.

We were able to make them a custom stamp that looks like the picture below.

What do you think?
