    Artist Anniversary Series 
    The Persimmon Vase, created by Alex Curtis, is a masterful blend of past and present inspiration. The piece is characterized by its sweeping high-relief sculpting and fruit-framing cutouts, which showcase the intersection of traditional and contemporary design elements. The flowing and expressive chestnut and indigo glazes, indicative of Ephraim's art pottery, are complemented by the precise sprayed glazes that accent the persimmons. This anniversary design encapsulates both enduring tradition and forward-thinking experimentation, making it a stand-out piece. It is our tradition at Ephraim for artists to commemorate a milestone at the pottery with a special design. This year Alex Curtis celebrates this momentous milestone. Artist Anniversary Series pieces are available for only one year. Alex's Persimmon Vase will retire on July 23rd, 2025. Artist anniversaries signify much more to us than merely “loyal years” of coming to work. Artists at the studio exert a major influence on the ever-evolving art that we make. The aesthetic sensibilities and honed techniques of each of our members collectively define Ephraim’s art. It is a beautiful – and novel – model for an art pottery. This model means that Ephraim’s body of work would have been far different without Alex's      ingenuity with color. Individual sensibilities make our art eclectic and yet the way these ideas filter through others, make our pieces cohesively Ephraim.

    We wonder what this little turtle ponders as he lazes away an idyllic summer day. Ephraim artist, Becky Hansen has an affinity for turtles, and so it is her glazing artistry that brings this vase to life. Our go-to turtle glazer, Becky, glazed many versions of this piece to develop the perfect color scheme that embodied the verisimilitude and pizazz she thought this little turtle deserved.    Handmade to order.

    Ephraim artists have spent the last year experimenting with electric lanterns and we are pleased to offer the Prairie Ginkgo Lantern in our new Studio Collection. A lid adorned with sculpted ginkgo leaves sits atop a narrow tapered form. The organic sculpting on the lid provides a nice counterpoint to the series of square window piercings and formal architecture of the lantern’s base. This lantern provides a soft glowing light—perfect for a night light or other mood lighting. Includes a small removable cord and bulb.

    This elegant poppy design adds to our growing Rhythm Line.
