Lidded Butter Dish
This sweet handmade ceramic butter dish with a lid is the perfect size for a long 8 ounce stick of butter or even a block of cheese. It was hand built from stoneware clay, and then I added a design that features lots of colorful wildflowers, and usually a sculpture that complements the design on the lid as a knob. The lid measures 3" high by 5.5" long x 3" deep and the tray is 8" long x 4" wide. The tray is microwave and dishwasher safe. Let me know your color preference and whether you want me to feature a creature on the butter dish like those shown in the photos.

Deb Babcock
Blue Sky Pottery
I am a studio potter who works in porcelain and stoneware creating one of a kind, functional pottery including whimsical teapots and tea cups, bowls, casseroles, plates, tumblers, platters, vases and tiles.
I have studied under such renowned potters as Clary Illian, Lorna Meaden, Chris Gustin, Steven Hill, Diana Fayt, Meira Mathison, Sylvie Granitelli, Julia Galloway, Bonnie Seeman, Sarah Jaeger, and Sandi Pierantozzi. From each of these wonderful artists, I usually take away a new technique or way of creating that I then incorporate into my own pottery voice.
I am a founding member of the Steamboat Clay Artisans and work with this group on an annual Soup Bowl Supper fundraiser, a holiday sale, summer farmer's market, and educational programs.
In March 2013, my work was featured in the e-commerce publication of Better Homes and Gardens.
My work isalso featured in Best Of America Pottery and Woodworking Artists & Artisans Vol.1 by Kennedy Publishing. And it is featured in the November 2010 issue of AARP magazine.
In April 2009 I was one of the speakers at the national clay conference (NCECA) in Phoenix talking about online selling.
