The pottery I make is all handmade. The pots are either "thrown" on a potter's wheel or hand built using the slab construction method.

I use brown stoneware clay and fire to 2232 degrees (cone 6) in an electric kiln. I make all the glazes and all are lead free and safe for use with food. 

The pottery is quite durable and may be used in the microwave and  conventional ovens. As with most other pottery, it is not meant to be used on a stove top! The pottery is, of course, dishwasher safe.
