Clarkware Pottery
"Beautifully Simple" Clarkware Pottery is food, oven, microwave and dishwasher safe and made of strong stoneware clay to stand up to the joys of everyday use. It is both functional and decorative.
Ocean Heirloom Lace Pottery is made one at a time using the drape-molding slab method powered by a heavy rolling pin and elbow grease- an absolute labor of love! Imperfections such as minor warping, slight glaze color variations and non-factory-made shapes and sizes are the true nature of individually handmade pottery and are not to be considered flaws. Therefore each item will look approximately like the photos presented. Clarkware's functional and beautiful collection celebrates the warm and soothing colors of the ocean with a blend of aquamarine, seafoam and sailor blue pigments over a sandy colored buff stoneware clay body. Each color is twice handpainted by brushstroke onto the bisque-fired clay. This is quite time consuming but worth it in order to achieve Clarkware's signature Ocean Heirloom Lace design.
