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

Very nice, Gary! I'll bet that baby will hold a nice amount of bean soup!
Is that called a brazier? I saw them or similar things used in 1600's cooking on a show in TVO around Yuletide past.
OH HO! Braziar! No, I think that is what women wear under their sweaters.
Bean soup! Sure thing, fill it up with bean soup grego, then we can warm our feet over it! I should send dimensions.
10 years in February ... :-D
Is a "dual poosting" legal?
a dual poosting is OK in certain downtown neighborhoods where people explore alternative lifestyles
oh you meant BRAZIER. righto. that is a little beanpot which you set on fire to keep your feet warm, right?

I'm sorry Gary - bout the comment. I'm surprised you didn't fire me...
are you sure it's not a bed pan?
Mags, I think gr "firing" someone is a compliment. Complement? Spellcheck, anyone?
BTW, Gary, Blogger is being a naughty child about me leaving comments...all stompy and whiny and error messagey
Beauty! Probably better than the real thing! You might just bring them back in vogue! But we all know you're a trend-setter!
