Train kiln bottle
Train kiln bottle
I have always been drawn to old ceramic bottles. During my apprenticeship for Mark Hewitt, I made these every firing and eventually ended up with enough to bottle an entire batch of home brew (40 pints). A proud moment!
This one came out of the train kiln at Pleasant Hill Pottery in Oregon. It was fired on the top shelf of the front stack of the kiln, sitting on sea shells. I love how the drips wrapped around the form. Super dramatic surface!

My pots are microwave, dishwasher and oven safe. I make them with stoneware clay and fire until they’re vitrified, around 2350°F.
If a pot you like is sold out, just email me and I can make you a similar one! I also take commissions of all sorts; please email me if you have an idea.
I ship with USPS and UPS and send tracking information after sending each order.
I ship internationally; it’s no problem, but it may require a little extra postage. It’s hard to estimate as it changes from country to country. For these international orders, I will contact you if there is a discrepancy between what you pay and the actual cost.
