Handmade pottery for the thoughtful home
I'm Danielle and I'm the artist behind Monsoon Pottery. I've always been a half country and half city mouse. You'll see that reflected in my Asian Farmhouse and Chinatown Collections. Stay a while and look around. You may find something you can't live without.
Summer of Celadon
I felt called to dedicate a large portion of my summer to making porcelain pots glazed in celadon. Expect to see glaze trails from hand-dipping and signature crazing (that crackly texture) on pale jade or sea glass surfaces.
Listen to the Summer of Celadon playlist to absorb the full vibe.
