Thank you for your interest in our work. Our pottery can be ordered in the traditional black or the red. The red carved pieces usually are slipped with a clay in the carved area that fires a contrasting beige color. These are all measured in height.

Borders on all name & numbered pieces are traditional designs.

NOTE: I do not measure the pots as I am creating them so all sizes cannot be exacted until the end process which is after the firing. So the pricing of all pottery pieces does not occur until the pots are fired. Flaws in burnishing or firing do impact the pricing. The final outcome of a pot only carries a top price when it is carefully examined and passes our personal standard. Thus at times there may be two pieces created of the same height but one may have a smoke mark or burnishing flaw so the price of it would be lowered. The pottery prices may vary with size and final outcome quality.

I hope this information is helpful to you and we look forward to hearing from you with a possible order!
