(See more photos of Merryn's pots below)

Merryn's pots are wheel-thrown and well designed for domestic use. She makes up her own glazes from raw materials, producing soft greens, blues, oranges and tans, through to rich browns, dark velvet blues and blacks. The pots are “biscuit” fired in an electric kiln and then glazed in a gas kiln with a reduced atmosphere up to 1280ºC. 

The stoneware range consists mainly of mugs, jugs, plates, dishes, bowls, teapots, casseroles, vases and garden pots, although she is happy to take orders for special commissions. 

Her large lettered platters are individually designed for commemorative occasions, such as birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and retirements. She has featured on wedding lists too.

Merryn's porcelain pots include delicate cups, rice bowls, trinket boxes, communion sets and carved decorated plates. They are all glazed with white or various shades of celadon, from the palest blue to olive green.

Recently Merryn has been making many communion sets - chalice and paten - for private individuals, for churches and for a whole Diocese. They are varied in design, from delicate simple porcelain to robust stoneware and some have been lettered for individual requirements. Click here for photos.

Merryn's pots are in private collections and churches countrywide in Britain and also abroad: in America, Australia, New Zealand, Albania, France, Switzerland and Germany.

"I like to think that everything I make is to last but I hope that the pots are reasonable enough in price to use constantly and, in the event of a breakage, can be replaced. My pots  need to be used. Knowing that a teapot was destined for display only, I made tea in it before it was sold - it had at least lived once!" 

The domestic stoneware range is suitable for oven, microwave and dishwasher.

 

Unfortunately the cost of shipping is prohibitive and out of proportion with the cost of my pottery. Also, compensation covers only loss, not breakages. Therefore I regret that I am unable to fulfil orders from outside the UK if this means posting them.
