About the service
I hand-throw and glaze a complete ceramic bathroom vanity set on my own potter's wheel: a soap or lotion dispenser fitted with a working pump, a matching rinse tumbler sized comfortably for a hand, and a small flat tray to catch drips and hold a bar of soap or a toothbrush. Every piece in the set starts as raw clay centered on the same wheel head, so the dispenser, tumbler and tray share consistent wall thickness, footprint proportions and rim profile — they read as one considered object rather than three unrelated pieces bought separately.
Before I begin, we talk through your bathroom: the tone of your tile and countertop, whether you want a matte or glossy surface, and whether the set should feel warm and rustic or clean and minimal. I keep a working palette of stoneware and porcelain glazes — soft neutrals, deep matte colors, and a few reactive finishes that shift subtly from piece to piece — and I can also mix a custom glaze test tile if you have a very specific shade in mind. The dispenser opening is measured to fit a standard pump mechanism, so the pump seats firmly and dispenses cleanly without wobbling or leaking around the collar.
Each set is thrown, trimmed, bisque fired, hand glazed and fired a second time in my studio kiln, so plan on real working days between order and finished pottery rather than an overnight turnaround. I photograph the set in natural light at each stage so you can see the raw clay form and the glazed result before it ships, and I pack every piece individually with rigid inner supports so the dispenser and tumbler travel safely. If a piece cracks or chips in transit I will remake it at no extra charge. I am glad to make two or three matching sets for a shared bathroom, a guest suite or as a gift, with a small discount on repeat sets.
