That is essentially a blue old boot with an overly regular opening, a too small toe localted for some reason off the level of the base with four small heels rather than one large one.
At lunch at the Brew Pub I gazed at a glass boot up on the wall. You can see it in eight days and then you will shout aloud "My God, a drinking vessel in the shape of footwear is a venerable and honourable thing!!!"
WOW Gary I am most impressed. I am stealing the photo for my blog so you can get some traffic from people with moolah. You need a proper online store buddy.
I am working hard at trying to see if I can be present on the 25th.. I MAY have a sitter in Ktown for a few hours however this will entail me being in Ktown waiting for spouse to finish work from 9am - 5:00 pm as well as missing an english premiership game or three, but for such an event I will try.
Alan.. The ship is rightfully in place I hope as P said t'would be today?
Mysterious talk amongst members of that secretive organization, the KSPC. I am sorry, Sean, that Belleville is down the road from K.town...I know that makes a long day for you. PLEASE REMEMBER I AM WATCHING THE WEATHER.
This is a little like a John Lecarre book: messages left on park benches in folded newspapers, code names, cryptic remarks with bigger meanings... hey Sean, how is the bio coming?
Gorthos is my standard name for online crap and video games. Muad D'ib was used for a little while on my old blog just before I quit it when I opened my own domain to differentiate.
You don't like Dune?
The original book or the Movie or the Miniseries (plural)? I have them all.
Master dib--that book was something, the movie terrible. Too much material for 3 hours. That was why I thought paul was Muad'dib, because becomes Muad'dib in the book.
As my old pal Gordo says:
"You want plain, old pots or plates? Go see the other guys. You want whimsy and creativity? Gary's the man!"

my pots are lead-free, microwaveable and dishwasher safe, just don't drop them!
Mary Lee got her pots and says: "Love 'em both......I'm also much relieved to find that both pieces are useable in any of the traditional manners, micro, dishwasher, etc., something I'd wondered about.
I'm truly delighted ....the glaze is so very much nicer in person. Photos do not do it justice, alas! "
Gary Rith is a full-time studio potter and also an instructor of pottery at Cornell University's Pot Shop.
Gary started learning pottery in 1983. In 1985 he served as an apprentice to Dean White of Deansboro, NY and earned a bachelor's degree in art from Bennington College in 1987. He has been a full-time sculptor and potter since 1997. Gary started his business in New Hamspshire, where he was selected as a member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen in 2004 and in 2005 was named one of New Hampshire's Emerging Ceramics Artists. He moved to the Ithaca, NY area in 2006, near where he grew up, and is happily making pots and sculpture in a purple house on Fall Creek. Gary likes to laugh, and his first goal is to have fun making pots.

From Quebec, Mags gets excited:
GUESS WHAT? My pots arrived! Oh my GOD! They are beautiful and you are soooooooooo sweet
another happy pig lover wrote:
Thank you so much for the prompt delivery...... I LOVE it!!! This day has been very stressful, and your package certainly brightened it. :-) (Sometimes all ya need is a couple of pigs!)
These will be favorites.
Thanks again, M.P.
When Mona opened up her box of pots she said:
I went all gooshy 'cause they're absolutely amazing! The pigs are gosh-darned cute, and the glaze-work is gorgeous! I can't keep my hands off them! Seriously! I keep finding excuses to walk by them .....
Lucia has something to say:
Gary -
You're awesome.
The vase is beautiful!! It's even more lovely than it looked in the photo. And the surprise, I laughed so loud at its cuteness that a co-worker came in and asked what was so funny. Thank you so much! I felt just like it was Christmas here in the office this morning, and I'm smiling. Wooooohooo!!! You're excellent.
--Lucia
E.S. sez:
The package made it in excellent condition! I absolutely loved them. I almost couldn't part with the pig mug, but I gave it to my coworker for her birthday who is in love with pigs.
and more happy customers say:
"Gary, my pots arrived! They're beautiful just as I expected
I just wanted to thank you ever so much...adorable." Maggie

Except you would not shout honourable with a "u".

hey Sean, how is the bio coming?
What?? Why do you need three names? And if you have three why did you spill the beans so quickly? I never liked Dune. That must be it.

Gary: bio.. um, well, umm, can I say I got bored with it and not be ostrich-sized?
Master dib--that book was something, the movie terrible. Too much material for 3 hours. That was why I thought paul was Muad'dib, because becomes Muad'dib in the book.
Only three names? Amateur. Call me when you hit half a dozen.
