THE STONE SOLDIER POTTERYis located in rural Jacksonville, Vermont and follows the Vermont
tradition of individuality. We use the time honored method of making pottery on
the potter's wheel, together with the up-to-date techniques of a contemporary pottery. Each
piece reflects the skill, experience and taste of the potter.
The pottery is decorated by hand. Glazes are applied by hand dipping and pouring. The glazed pottery
is then loaded into the kiln for the final process; the firing.
A special technique called reduction firing is used by the
STONE SOLDIER POTTERY, and special care is taken to bring out
the finest variegated colors and mottled textures. The firing process takes a full day,
reaching temperatures in excess of 2300 degrees Farenheight. The kiln is then
allowed to cool for two days before being opened.
STONE SOLDIER pottery is
lead-free, oven proof, microwave and
dishwasher safe.
