Pottery, Not Just for Growing Any More

Since ancient time pottery has often been the gauge of a civilization’s style and technological sophistication. While this may not be as accurate a measuring stick of technological advancement today, pottery still has a major role in determining one’s own sense of style. Be it traditional, ethnic, contemporary, or even modern, pottery c an bring your own personal taste not only into your garden but throughout the household.


Non-traditional uses often allow for surprising architectural elements that are not only fun but quite useful. Consider using pottery as bulk storage containers for potatoes or onions. Planters, especially but not limited to vase types, are also good containers to hold feathers or seasonal cuttings in living spaces around the home. Fun accents or splashes of color can be added in the bathroom to hold towels, soap, and toothbrushes. Some types of pottery with the correct types of glazes can even be used for cooking but ensure they are so designated. The uses are only limited by your imagination.

So this fall when you bring in your potted planters and pottery, don’t just throw them in the corner of the garage, but think of all the design elements you could be taking advantage of. Stop by the shop and see our wide selection of in stock pottery and take advantage of our fall pottery sale where all pottery and planters are 25% off until October 31st, 2010.
