This garlic keeper is a handmade, one-of-a-kind practical piece to bring beauty to your everyday, whether stored on your counter or in your pantry.  
 
Each piece is designed to be used, not just admired. Handmade and hand-decorated, often with a touch of old-world charm inspired by my great-grandfather's art nouveau posters and calendars from the early 1900s - or the flowers in my garden. I try to bring a bit of quiet beauty to pieces that fit naturally into a home and feel good in the hand. My hope is simple: that the pieces I make add small pleasures to your day.

The Nature of Handmade Work
Slight variations in glaze color, texture, and form are the hallmarks of handmade pottery. Not considered flaws, these marks are evidence of the handmade process that makes each piece unique.
