| Terri Danek-Meyer Pottery |
The fine porcelain crafted by Terri Danek-Meyer has
a look similar to the spatterware pottery from
Staffordshire in 1750 and from the Wedgwood
factory about 1800-1820. Actually, Terri developed
her style before she had seen spatterware which
explains the freshness of the designs that only a
contemporary body of work can give.
The porcelain Terri creates begins as a clay body
made with ingredients imported from England.
While expensive and the most difficult to throw on
the wheel - potters often compare the consistency
to cream cheese - the final result is beautiful both in
look and feel.
The clear glazes are made from scratch. The main
ingredient is Cornwall stone, produced in Cornwall,
England. This makes the glaze hard as well as
scratch and stain resistant. Esthetically, it gives the
glaze a buttery look and feel.
The pottery is completely safe to use. There is no
lead whatsoever in the glaze. All pieces are
microwaveable, ovenproof and dishwasher safe.
Every edge of each piece has been carefully
rounded and smoothed to be comfortable to the
user and also chip-resistant.
Terri is a graduate of Alfred University New York
State College of Ceramics. Her work has been
written up in publications including Early American
Homes, Country Living, and the Annual Directory of
200 Best Traditional American Crafts. You can also
see Terri's porcelain at the White House where it is
part of the permanent collection.
