Bell-shaped blooms drift along a curving branch that flows like a musical staff across the vase. Hand-sculpted leaves frame the composition while a bumblebee hovers near the nodding flowers. The piece harmonizes natural and artistic elements through flowing green glazes and graceful lines, creating a visual melody in clay. Like sheet music for a garden, this design celebrates the rhythm and poetry of nature. Handmade to order.

A gilded ginkgo leaf crowns this refined vase, where nature meets metalcraft. Two textured bands, reminiscent of hammered copper, are punctuated by diamond cutouts that cast subtle shadows upon the deep green surface. This piece marries metalwork traditions with our signature hand-sculpted style, creating an interplay of organic and architectural elements. Handmade to order.

There is something understated and humble about a ginkgo leaf that makes it a fitting motif for the pawn figure in our chess-themed collection. This sweet piece is larger than some of our usual miniatures, but smaller than the typical cabinet vase. Two delicate ginkgo leaves flutter at the neck of this small bottle form. We offer the Ginkgo Pawn Bottle in two traditional Ephraim glaze variations—warm Algae and cool Teal—making this piece an easy addition to your existing collection. Handmade to order.

Grueby’s Garden Vase owes inspiration to the historic, late 19th century Grueby Faience Pottery, famous for symmetrical design, low relief leaves and flowers, and signature textured green glazes. Our innovative throwing technique results in an elegant, severe form that perfectly shows off masterful sculpture and flowing, rich glaze. Handmade to order.

Sometimes the world’s smallest creatures deserve the most careful notice. Notice the bee’s delicate wings; notice the bee’s patterned body; notice the bee’s important pollinating role in the ecosystem. Here a plump honey bee perches near the rim of a small, rippled form. A honey-like glossy amber glaze spills over a soft yellow matte glaze, inviting you to admire the little bee as it tends its honey. Handmade to order.

A curious black bear investigates a beehive while honeybees swarm around their golden treasure. The jar's honey-colored crackle glaze creates the perfect backdrop for this charming scene, where sculpted bees emerge from their hand-thrown hive to defend against their sweet-toothed visitor.

This elegant yellow cabinet vase, featuring our signature crackle glaze pattern and delicate structural details, is the genuine inspiration behind our April Fools prank. Unlike our fictional wall-mounted version featured in this week's email newsletter, this beautifully crafted piece is designed to be displayed traditionally on shelves, mantels, or atop your favorite books as shown. The Levity Vase stands in artistic conversation with our other Grueby-inspired designs like our new Serendipity Vase and large Fortitude Vase—no duct tape required. ;) The Levity Vase is available to order until 8am CST on Tuesday, April 8th. Handmade to order. No two pieces will be exactly alike. At Ephraim, we pride ourselves in putting the hand of the maker above using tools like molds or slip-casting. Each hand-thrown, hand-sculpted and hand-glazed piece will have its own unique character, and therefore, its own unique beauty.

Floating above the green earth, these sweet, rosy blossoms resemble billowing clouds. Delicate and ephemeral, blown by the spring wind and rain, the sakura soon fall, carpeting the earth with fragrant "snow." Their beauty, like life, is fleeting and must be enjoyed in the present moment. Handmade to order. No two pieces of the same design look exactly alike, that’s part of the magic of handmade ceramics.
