Pottery
Opal + Birch pottery is created with an unmistakably earthy feel—organic forms, soft curves, and glazes that echo the natural landscapes I love. Every piece is shaped by hand, allowing subtle textures, warm tones, and raw elements to shine through. My style blends rustic simplicity with quiet elegance: muted greens, sandy neutrals, flowing glaze patterns, and the gentle imperfections that only true handmade pottery can hold.
Inspired by the quiet beauty of a shoreline in winter, the Winter Shore Vase + Plate is a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted ceramic piece designed to adapt to how you live and gather.
The vase can be used beautifully on its own for fresh or dried flowers, branches, or greenery. When you want to change its function, the matching plate slides easily over the vase and rests in place - transforming the piece into a sculptural surface for hors d'oeuvres, snacks, jewelry, small treasures, or favorite collected rocks.
Soft, layered glazes and subtle hand-formed ridges reflect winter light on the ice covered water - calm, textured, and quietly expressive. Whether styled together or separately, this piece is meant to be used, rearranged, and enjoyed in different ways throughout the seasons.
