Specially designed as an herb pot or as a Crafter's Catch-all to hold all those treasured tools so they are ready for use or for just gazing upon as you craft away the hours.

This is the first pot in this design which is modeled after the Long Tom pots that have been used for centuries. Long tom pots are tall, narrow flowerpots that have been used by gardeners since the Victorian era. The pot's name may come from the French fortress cannon used in the Boer War. The pot's funnel shape helps water move quickly from the top to the bottom, which prevents the roots from sitting in water. The shape also happens to be great for holding various tall/long crafting tools!

This pot comes with 6" Bonsai Snips - designed after a 300 year old design and very sharp - great for crafting and for pruning herbs!

Hand-thrown and hand-signed using durable and functional brown stoneware clay produced in Montana. Each pot is hand-brushed with at least 6 coats of glazing, ensuring a thick blanket of glass for long-time use.

I create in small batches. Each piece is thrown in the likeness of the next, hand-crafted, and with hand-brushed glazing. I hope you’ll agree variations in color, small marks from the minerals and stone in the clay, or slight sways in design resulting from working with natural materials create the charm expected and treasured in handmade pottery.
