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.
Year of the Wood Snake Platters
Shop platters at Wing on Wo & Co, a fifth-generation porcelain business located in Manhattan's Chinatown.
Year of the Snake pottery makes a great gift for those who are born in 2025, 2013, 2001, 1989, 1977, 1965, 1953, 1941, or 1929. Be sure to check birthdays in January/February to make sure they're not dragons or horses.
