There is a large selection of wedding-anniversary bowls - "Love Bowls" - they have the inscription around the rim: "Love is the Only Ingredient that Really Matters."
If you have a wedding or anniversary party to go to these Love Bowls can be personalized and come in French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and even Gaelic.
Shipping is available for the "Love/Wedding Bowls" and I accept credit cards over the phone.
***What a surprise! The Huffingston Post, June 30th, 2011 featured a summer salad in one of these bowls, with the inscription around the rim: "Love is the Only Ingredient That Really Matters".
Harry Spring, Potter
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 other potters and craftspeople. In the '90's we moved up to Bellevue Ave and opened Spring Pottery and Wellspring Books. We were there several years. Then, craft shows but after 5 years of craft shows I injured my back and decided to open a smaller shop in downtown Wickford. That was a thriving shop too. After 37 years as a shopkeeper however I wanted 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. So come visit. We have a nice supply of Love Bowls, ikebanas, brie bakers, chip and dips, wine coolers, lamps, vases, serving trays and we can chat while I work on my pottery.
These Love Bowls (also known as Wedding or Anniversary bowls) are created in a deep cobalt blue. All of these bowls (app.13" diameter) say "Love is the Only Ingredient That Really Matters" around the rim and can be inscribed in English, Italian, French, Spanish or Gaelic. Each bowl is meant to be used for food, and is the perfect size for a salad for six to eight, or a large serving of pasta for your party--and it will go in your dishwasher. These bowls are perfect for weddings, showers, anniversaries, and special occasions.
Price: $85
*** These bowls can be shipped anywhere in US and paid for, over the phone, by using your credit card.
Inscribed around rim:
"Love is the Only Ingredient that Really Matters."
"Love is the Only Ingredient that Really Matters."
