Emil Cahoy (now deceased) was a farmer who lived just outside Colome, South Dakota . This pottery was made with a formula created by Emil Cahoy from clay found six feet underground on his farm. It took him three years to perfect this mixture of clay and sand. The pottery is then fired to a very high temperature of 2150 to 2160 degrees making it stronger than bake ware and safe for oven, microwave or dishwasher. The process also creates a beautiful and unusual swirl effect in the pottery. The natural color comes form the minerals in the soil and varies in shades of brown depending upon the firing temperature.

This is a soup tureen with cover .
