Elmer Taylor I gear my pottery to satisfy the needs of kitchen and table, restricting myself to producing a limited range of forms that are continually refined. Some refinements come from observations made in the daily use of the pottery in my own home. Others come from repeatedly working with similar forms over a period of years. My goal is not to make pots but to allow them to grow from the interaction between the qualities inherent in clay as a material and my skill as a craftsman. It is my hope that the pots I produce honor those potters who came before me, and inspire those who will come after me. -- Elmer Taylor Sushi Plate A
1" tall X 7" wide X 5 1/2" deep
I like the rough edges on these sushi plates -- So much more interesting than a clean edge. $22.50 SOLD Sushi Plate B
1" tall X 7" wide X 5 1/2" deep
I like the rough edges on these sushi plates. So much more interesting than a clean edge. $22.50 SOLD Straight Jar
9 3/4" tall X 5" wide (w/handles) X 4" in diameter
I like that the handles are different. I think it adds an element of surprise to the pot. $45 SOLD Basket
9" tall (w. handle) X 3 1/2" tall (w/o handle) X 7" in diameter
I might set this on the table with rolled napkins in it. Or how about in a powder room with handtowels, or a potpourri mix? $65 SOLD Small Pitcher

I'd serve juice in this pitcher for a special brunch. It would also make a lovely vase for daisies. $40 SOLD Bottle

There's definitely an asian feel to this bottle. $55 SOLD Bowl A
3 1/2" tall X 6 1/2" in diameter
I use bowls this size to serve vegetables. $30 SOLD Bowl B
4 1/2" tall X 6 1/1" in diameter
A little larger bowl for serving side dishes like a rice pilaf. $35 SOLD Small Jar
6 1/2" tall X 3 1/2" in diameter
OK. I don't know what I'd put in it either, but there's no law that says you have to put anything in it. $30 SOLD Small Bottle

The various shades and tones of blue are really lovely on this bottle. $25 SOLD Large Pitcher
