Absolutely unique ceramic stoneware and porcelain for your home and kitchen. At Kittery Point Potters, form and function unite to create art for daily living! Deeply rooted in our native New England forests and shorelines, each object serves as an anchor for a moment of peace surrounded by our threatened native landscapes. All of our functional stoneware pottery is hand-thrown at a potter's wheel, meticulously glazed, and kiln-fired to over 2200 degrees F on-site in our coastal studios. This creates a vitrified stone body that is dishwasher safe and durable enough to last a lifetime. Each object is absolutely unique, with all the beautiful variations and imperfections one expects from an object formed by the union of hand, heart, and nature's elements. Kittery Point Potters - Inspired fine stoneware for everyday use.
Tell me a Story
Do you believe trees can speak to one another? Anchoring a moment of communion with the grandfather species of our forests, these craggy textured vessels and jars are a way to hold the beauty and magnitude of a species under threat, like our Ash, Elm, Beech and many other large trees. If you listen, what will they tell you?
Slate and Sand
Echoing the black slate in our native rock ledges here in southern Maine, black clay grounds this series of sake cups, tea bowls, and sake flasks. 🍶 Textural glazes in shades of charcoal breaking to brown with cobalt accents contribute to a balanced, natural feel in the hand. Thrown, altered. Always with a bit of our natural world held in a moment.
Water and earth
Watery dark ocean blues and greens accented by a matte blue/gray that mirrors our local slate deposits. Sake set with small sake cups and flask. Textured, folded, recalling geological upheaval and the rare find of a slate and quartz outcropping partially covered by waves.
Oysters on the Half Shell
Seagulls drop shellfish from the air to crack them open and then they begin their feast. Never the same, these remnants from natures' table shows me that death can also be beautiful, and the bones of one species supports the life of another. Vases, bowls, and coffee cups in this pastel and earthy gray color way provide a captured moment of salt smell, the crunch of seaweed underfoot, and the sound of the laughing gulls.
Conifers and Sky
Rich warm greens form the base of this series of bowls. Swirling ivory and blue accents highlight the series, like the bright blue Maine sky peeking through the canopy of pine, fir, and spruce that form the bulk of our local forests.
Tide Pool Ripples
Hand crafted pottery chawan tea bowls for use in all your tea rituals, carefully crafted in our coastal Maine studio. This colorway features a slightly ribbed texture with textural glazes in coastal shades of blue and sandy beige and ivory, with a dark speckle burning through from the clay body. It echoes the ripples of water and sand formations encircling tide pools on our local beaches.
