Hear From Our Happy Customers
We purchased several items from this potter and woodworker and were very impressed by the quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. Each piece is clearly handmade with care and creativity, making them both functional and beautiful. The customer service was friendly and seamless. We highly recommend their work to anyone seeking unique, high-quality handcrafted items.
Ordered blue and green mugs which arrived securely packaged in just 3 days. The mugs are a perfect size and weight with comfortable handles - and gorgeous! Keeping one for me and others will be perfect gifts!
Had a pair of custom lamps made and they turned out so beautiful and my photo doesn't do it justice. We also have some wonderful "every day" bowls that we use for soups and stir fry and pasta dishes. We couldn't be more happy with our purchases
They have a very nice pottery selection and great showroom. We got the bacon keeper that we highly recommend to everyone! Definitely worth stopping in and shopping. Perfect place for gifts for you and your friends.
Purchased charcuterie tray and espresso cups over the phone. The order arrived promptly and I am very happy with the quality. With the holidays coming, this was an ideal way to buy a quality gift and also support those small business owners who struggle to recover after the devastating hurricane damage.
We just purchased our 9th piece from the Salvaterra Pottery collection. All are beautiful and high quality items. We have never had a chip or crack. Customer service is outstanding. Sue just processed a rush custom order for us, just in time for my wife's birthday. I recommend Salvaterra Pottery with enthusiasm.
Absolutely the best pottery shop I’ve ever visited! My mother in law wanted to see some functional pottery pieces while she was in town. I am so glad we ventured out to weaverville to this place! Sue was incredibly welcoming and friendly! Her pieces are beautiful! We cannot wait to visit again and buy some more items! Bonus….her “grand dog” Cookie was the cutest pup ever!
Wonderful pottery shop. Unique functional pottery. Loved the glazes!
