Fruit Baskets


Three examples of open structured coil built constructions, each 7" x 11" x 11".
On the left is a branching form glazed in spotted shino; the graceful form in the center is glazed in our popular multiple green blend, and on the right is a spiral form in red shino.

These stoneware "baskets" are functional as a fruit or bread baskets, or displayed as decorative objects.
High Fired to 2,300 F., they are very strong.


Two stoneware baskets showing their uses with fruit and vines. These are our more economical “garden” shape of repeating loops, available in many colors, here shown in turquoise and royal (cobalt) blue, 6" x 11" x 11"


Showing various expressions of the "basket" form: Top left, Sculptural "Grove of Trees" roots glazed in honey gold and multiple greens in the branches. Top right, "garden" shape glazed in strong royal blue dated with white accents. Lower row from left to right: "berry basket" shape in sky/sage; "Spiral" shape in multiple-green/teal glazes; two small "soap" baskets, wiggly in honey gold and flattened coils in royal blue.
