We visited the store in September 2025. Everyone was so kind and friendly and there were so many beautiful pottery pieces to choose from. We placed a custom order for a special shaped garlic jar and it arrived today. Wow! It was definitely worth the wait! It’s perfect and so beautiful! My daughter will love it!
