Each pieces is a one of a kind, and prices vary depending on size and multiple firings of each ceramic, after horsehair is applied every piece is polished and given a protective coating of bees wax to seal the exterior, please note horsehair process is non functional due to its porous nature.

Horsehair pottery is made by using hair from the tail and mane of a horse. It is fired using a special technique, and the process is very hazardous and time consuming.
Fine lines are created with the hair from the mane of the horse, and thick lines are created from the hair of the tail. After the pot is fired, it is rock polished; no paint or glaze is used.
When firing and polishing are completed
