WOW! Such beautiful pottery. Meli is responsive, kind, and clearly quite talented. This dish is now our island centerpiece for holding fruit (and looking beautiful). I requested a matte finish and Meli asked what I planned to use the bowl for, to ensure I wouldn't get myself in trouble with liquids, staining, etc. - ! appreciated her caring enough to weigh and make sure I'd be very pleased with the results. Big fan of this store, the quality, and Meli of course. Will be a regular customer, I think this is my favorite piece I've ever bought, and her shop is a treasure trove of unique pieces.

I squealed when I opened this guy. Absolutely thrilled to own this piece of functional art for my kitchen. The artist was wonderful and responsive to work with when I had inquiries about customizing a piece, and it’s better than I ever could have imagined. Shipped extremely securely, with a lovely hand written note and professional presentation. Thank you SO much. I’m in love!

Meli was so kind in answering my questions before deciding on a finish and I absolutely love my bell. I'm excited to add more of her pieces to my home in the future!
