    Hi! I'm Harry from Spring Pottery, formerly located in Newport and Wickford Village. I'm now working out of my barn/studio and have lots of new pots for you to see~ large and small vases, large bowls, pitchers, brie bakers, pie and baking dishes, flower arranging ikebanas, wine coolers, lamps, platters, mugs...and more. You'll find something for everyone. "Seconds" are available at discounted prices.

                       So where am I located?
                    30 Terre Mar Dr., North Kingstown, RI 02852
                                              401-294-5863


        If you're coming from Newport, go over the Newport and Jamestown bridges and take the first exit-- "Wickford/Narragansett". Off the exit go North, (left) for a mile and a half to Terre Mar Drive which is on the right. We are the second house on the left # 30. Drive around the corner past the pine trees to the barn and come in!
        If you're coming from Wickford Village, go South on Rt 1A over the little bridge, and continue South about 2 miles pass the pond on the rights and the Hamilton Elementary School on the left. We are at #30 Terre Mar Drive, second house on left, and come around pine trees to the back.

   Please call first to make sure we're home when you come by....and if you'd like to send us your email, we'll put you on our list for special spring and fall kiln opening pottery parties! Just write to us at: springpottery@verizon.net

I have a large selection of the popular Japanese flower vases: the Ikebanas, which are an exquiste and reasonably priced gift, and we usually have a good selection of "love-wedding bowls" in stock as well. These have these words inscribed around the rim: "Love is the Only Ingredient that Really Matters." You can personalize and change the quotation if you wish.

     Do you have weddings or anniversary parties to go to? These Love Bowls/Wedding Bowls can be personalized and written in Italian, Gaelic, French, and German. Many other pottery items that can be personalized for weddings and anniversaries.
     I am in my studio most days. Just give me a call to let me know you'd like to drop by and see what's available: 401-294-5863. Shipping is available for some items. Here's what an ikebana looks like with an orchid in it. (The pin-frog and space in the base holds the water and whatever flowers you choose, and the gift comes with a explanatory write-up.)  $29~$34 depending on size.

     I've been a funtional studio potter for 37 years. My wife Elizabeth and I started Spring Pottery back in 1977 in Newport ,RI. It was just a former coal truck garage on Bowen's Wharf but it was in the right location for a working and retailing shop. Back then there was a clam shell paved parking area and only walking , not running, water ( I got my water from an outsde spigot about a block away.) But then the wharf built up around us and in the almost 20 years we were there our shop evolved into a prospering 2 story complex where we sold both our work and the work of about 15 different potters and craftspeople. In late '90's we moved up to Bellevue Ave and opened Spring Pottery and Wellspring Books. That was a thriving shop too, but we wanted something smaller and more intimate---and more free time! So now--
    I work out of my barn at home. Although we are not a "retail shop" with regular hours, we still have all your favorite pottery. And we will ship it to you! So come visit--just give us a call to make sure we are in when you'd like to come by...401-294-5863.   We have a nice supply of Love Bowls, ikebanas, brie bakers, chip and dips, wine coolers, lamps, vases, serving trays, and lots more! All stoneware and ready to give as a gift or use in your home for many years.We now ship the Wedding bowls to clients around the country.

    Drop by and say 'Hi' if ever you're nearby...or call us and come see the full line of pottery in the barn...294-5863.
