I love to ship internationally and have done so many times. If you need overseas delivery, please contact me and I will see what I can do. I do not ship to all countries. When you tell me where you are located, I will let you know if I can ship there and what the shipping fee would be. There may be import and/or VAT fees as well payable to your customs office. Please research this with your local authorities. 

**You may have noticed that I am not a “production potter”. I don't make the same thing over and over again. There is nothing wrong in doing that, it is just not where my interests lay. 

I am what is termed a “studio potter”. Among other forms, I enjoy working with bowl forms in their various guises. No two of my pieces are the same, even when working on a similar theme. It can take upwards of a week for me to make one piece. Any given piece may take several visits to the kiln before I get the color development that I want. I tend to treat each object that I make as an individual, rather than a “thing”. I only work with materials that I feel have a “spark” to them, a sort of “life force” element. 

**This bowl is surprisingly light weight for its size. I like to work very thin - at the limits of the clay's tolerance. It feels wonderful in the hand. The form is one of my favorites, and one of the most ancient of pottery shapes. I love that the tradition can be so old and so new at the same time!

If you have any questions about the bowl, the process, or the exhibition history of the piece, please do not hesitate to ask.

Enjoy!
