Etsy Find: Ceramics by Laura Walls Taylor

The work of local ceramicist Laura Walls Taylor is strongly inspired by nature, with birds, fungi and thorns adorning many of her creations. But while pretty is important, we also need function. Luckily, each of Taylor's pieces are both...

...including retro-looking owls which double as vases and porcelain rose stem swizzle sticks. All items are handmade with food safe, nontoxic glazes in Taylor's San Francisco studio. We're sad to say that the branch sculpture is no longer for sale in the shop (we saw it at the Etsy Mud Team website), but you can go to "request custom item" and perhaps the artist will be able to make something similar for you.
Shown above:

Birdie Branch Buffet

Owl Candlestick or Bud Vase for $12

Cardinal Vase for $40

Bluebird Vase for $50

Mini Rose Stem Swizzle Sticks for $7.50

I make everything by hand (myself) and although jooly is right, the owls are sold out I am taking pre-orders at laurawallstaylor.etsy.com

My regular sized porcelain rose stem swizzles & cardinal vase is also sold, but like the owls can be pre-ordered. Just write to me, let me know what you'd like and I will create a reserved listing for you.

Thank you for your patience!

Sorry to comment again...

I created some pre-ordering listings so it should be easy & quick. If they are down/gone when you visit my shop just contact me through etsy & I'll create one for you.

Thanks!!
