This is a hand built Mermaid tail wall pocket that I created in clay.  The inside is glazed so it's water tight and ready to plant, use for cuttings or whatever.  It's about 8" tall.  It was fired to cone 6 (2232 degrees F)  The glazes I use contain no lead, are non toxic and and can be put in the microwave.  I also make teapots, mugs, bowls, plates, shot glasses, smoking pipes, and other functional ware that are suitable for food and beverages, also making some Raku fired pieces. All my pottery is signed and dated.
