We source our clay from Portland Oregon and Dundee Oregon. You'll find two types of clay being used, Trillium porcelain from Portland and Dundee red from Dundee. The Trillium is a beautiful  bright white and the Dundee red is a dark deep red with lots of texture. Marbled items are a blend of the two, swirled and thrown together to create unique artisan pottery. With proper care ceramics should last many many years. It's time to ditch throw away culture and time to buy quality items that will last a life time.
