Salt-Glazed Stoneware Pottery from Wisconsin captures the spirit of the early American artisans. Salt-Glazing is a pottery making process, which was popular in the 1800's.

This pottery is handmade for Randall's Specialties by old world-trained potters. The primitive method of burning common rock salt in a white-hot kiln enriches each piece with flashes of the firing and clearly shows the character of the potter's hand. A flash of brown, a spot of orange peel glaze are all characteristics of salt glaze. The kiln stacking clay wads make their marks on the clay, too. These are common traits of salt glaze stoneware and increase the pleasure of collecting these pieces. Each step of the process contributes to making each piece of pottery a unique signature of all the crafts people involved and an heirloom to be treasured for generations to come.

Because all of the salt-glazed products made for Randall's Specialties are truly handmade, you will not find the consistency of machine made, production line products. The size and shape will vary and the pattern will be influenced by the individual crafts-person who creates your special piece. Our pottery is food safe, lead free, and completely functional.
