SHOP STATEMENT:
A good pot is every bit as expressive as the best painting or sculpture, plus functional ceramic art appeals to the sense of touch more than any other art form—a hot cup of tea in your hand, a cup of coffee to your lips.

SAFETY:
All the pots that are made to contain food or drink are food-safe, microwave-safe, and dishwasher-safe.

SHIPPING:
Priority Mail: 1-4 days.
Parcel Select: 2-9 days.

Pottery is heavy and fragile so shipping is always expensive. I use 200# test boxes, lots of foam and bubble wrap, double-box when necessary and take the time to pack so that you don't get a box full of shards. If you order more than one item the shipping charge may be off a bit. If you overpay I will refund the difference when the order ships. Check with me if you have any questions about shipping.

WHY NO FREE SHIPPING? First of all, there's no such thing as "free shipping". Shops that offer it just add the shipping to the price of the item. This is unfair because the cost of shipping depends on how far the item has to travel. I'm in Georgia. Shipping a pot that cost $19.71 to ship to California only cost $8.35 to ship to Florida. Obviously, If I add enough to the price of the pot to cover shipping to California I vastly overcharge customers who don't live on the West Coast. I've decided to offer a fairer, cheaper shipping. It is based on the actual cost of shipping but set so that the shipping you pay is usually a little less than the actual shipping and I cover the cost of insurance.

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS:
I do ship internationally. You can find the cost of shipping in the store unless you live in a country that I do not ship to because of problems with delivery, customs or insurance or because other retailers have reported problems shipping to the country you live in (such as Italy, Russia, and Brazil). Shipping will be expensive because the over-packing necessary to avoid breakage adds weight to the package. If It turns out I can ship for significantly less than you were charged (likely if you buy several items) I will refund the over-payment.

RECENT REVIEWS:
"This shop is what makes Etsy such a special place to shop! I absolutely love my pots!! They’re fabulous - so unique - gorgeously (is that a word?) handmade. Jim shipped these (I bought 2) super quickly and packaged them with a crazy amount of care. Shop here - you won’t be disappointed. This shop rocks!!!"

"If 10 stars were available...I would give it! Wonderful & creative seller with the most unique pottery planters. Thank you so much for the very FAST shipping, perfect & careful packing, great customer service and the most beautiful planter. I love the shape and the colors used. THANK YOU SO MUCH!"
