I discovered Tremar when I was shopping for a Christmas present for my sister and her Sears Craftsman Home. Produced in Cornwall from the 1960s through the ’80s, Tremar Pottery mostly appears in unglazed, nature-inspired colors — fitting for today’s Arts and Crafts resurgence. Check eBay to find pottery similar to the 7″ vase I gifted, shown above, like this pair, as well as the tiny wren that I purchased for myself. What can I say? I love birds and it seemed like a long trip to make the vase take by itself. — Sarah L.

P.S. For the curious, yes, the turtle shell in the photo above is real; we frequently see Eastern Box Turtles in our yard. Unfortunately, a predator dispatched the turtle, so we left the shell on a rock to dry out, then gave it four coats of clear poly.
