Stoneware by Mara
Mara uses simplification to give life to her work. Her glazes are unique for their quality and color. Her imagination blends shape and essence into images that crosses between realism and abstract. These stoneware pieces bear original designs by Mara. Each piece is made and painted by hand. All of Mara’s design pieces are high temperature fired with lead free glazes. These beautiful pieces of functional art are microwave and dish washer safe. I have many more pieces than depicted here. Prices vary according to the piece. Approximate price range from $13.00 to $40.00.
