Nancy Smeltzer

Trained in culinary arts, Nancy Smeltzer feels that many of her pieces are meant to be utilized in the everyday rituals of eating and drinking.  Birds, plants and animals that live around the Smicksburg community are often reflected on her pottery.  She has been apart of a great number of shows, exhibits and workshops. Nancy tells us, "My work is thrown, altered and decorated with images of birds and the natural world.  I continue to be fascinated with the way the fire, ash and salt lend their finishing touches to embellish these pots."

Owlet Teapot
Ceramic
$72.00
This "Owlet Teapot" is the pure definition of whimsy.  The Owlet Teapot is perfect for that one of a kind find that's actually functional!  The Owlet Teapot is one item that anyone would be envious to have.  The neutral, subdued colors with the painted and carved owl bring this piece alive.  Adding in the ornamental owl on the top brings this teapot to the height of tea pot selection.  This would be one teapot you'd always want to have around.

To admire this piece along with Nancys' other works and the other amazing artists come visit us and don't forget about our wonderful coffee shop! Definitely worth the trip out to us!
