This is Austin. He's a uniquely made, handbuilt stoneware monsterpot with a lid for a head and made to make you smile even before you've had your coffee. This sturdy tri-footed stoneware pot is glazed with layers of pale teal over translucent green, highlighting the hand-applied feather-scale texture in the body. The interior is glazed clear.

Pots are good for all manner of loose items like pet treats, coins, keepsakes— and yes, butter because the lid is a good fit. This piece is also a good keepsake vessel for the ashes of a beloved furry family member.

Austin is just a lovebug and encourages you to get out of your comfort zone and take some healthy risks like making new friends.

(Standard 101 Buff Stoneware clay, fired to Cone 6. All glazes are home-created in Kest Pottery Studio.)

Hand wash please to safeguard the teeth.
