Terracotta

Terracotta means "baked earth" in Italian. Our hand hewn terracotta tiles are decorated with three coats of a white base glaze and multiple coats of colored glazes (all by hand) then fired for the third time. The entire process from start to finish takes about seven days (168 hours).

The hanging tiles can be hung indoors or out, but the leather strap should be oiled once in awhile to keep it from becoming brittle and breaking. The tiles may also be personalized with a name, house number or your favorite motto for an additional charge.

Terracotta Wine Coolers

Introduced at the January New York Gift Show, our “Whines” are runaway best sellers! They each hold a 750 ml bottle of wine with ease, but actual sizes will vary slightly as they are thrown by hand.We originally intended not to make the “Whines” breed specific, but people keep asking for particular dogs. However, specific markings or custom orders are not available.

Terracotta Food and Water Bowls

Although we are offering two sizes of the new food and water bowls, large and small, the actual dimensions will vary slightly based on the amount of wine in our potters at the time of creation. The large bowl holds 8 cups of food or water, and the small bowl holds 3 cups. We are also offering two styles: “Breed Specific”, with three pups of any one breed/color running around the bowl, or “Generic” with humorous sayings written on them. We are also offering personalized bowls and a couple of designs for the kitties.

We currently offer 28 breeds of dogs as stock designs. Other breeds are available by special request for an extra charge. The sayings (Welcome, etc.) and the backgrounds (Lawn, Marsh, Beach) are interchangeable. If you're not sure which setting to pick, don't worry, we'll pick what looks best, we've been doing it for years.
