For the first time we are offering Ben Owen turquoise crystalline dinnerware in our online shop. The Turquoise Crystalline charger plate was created exclusively for Herons by famed fourth generation potter Ben Owen III of Seagrove, NC. Ben has also designed an entire table collection in this distinct glaze, exclusively handmade for The Umstead. New to the collection this month: A distinctive coffee cup and saucer set.
We will ship orders out as stock remains and then begin taking special orders that will fill on a first come basis. If you plan to gift these for the holidays and we are out of stock at the time of order, we will send you a certificate of purchase for gifting. Presale orders for the next shipment will be filled in February-March 2027.
The Crystalline Glaze was carefully developed over several years. Ben Owen III methodically manipulated various glaze materials with the potential to create unique surfaces and patterns that are reflective of natural elements in the environment. Each piece is sold separately and signed and dated on the bottom.
