AMY WHARF - PEONE CREEK POTTERY
Amy Wharf has been a potter in Spokane since 1990. Her pottery is distinguished by hand carved textures and rich glaze colors. Her love of the outdoors has influenced her work. Leaves turning in a breeze, sunlight dappling through a canopy of leaves or sparkling on moving water, and pine trees silhouetted against the sky all find their way into Amy's pottery. And most importantly, Amy's elegantly functional pottery is oven, microwave, and dishwasher safe; made to be used and enjoyed every day!

Dress up your bathroom or kitchen counter with one of my lotion bottles. They are ideal for liquid hand soap, lotion, or dish soap. Pick from seven color choices. Dimensions: 7 ½” Tall x 3 ¼” diameter; Capacity: About 1 ¾ cups.
My French Butter Dishes are designed to keep butter fresh, soft, and spreadable WITHOUT refrigeration. 1 1/2 sticks of butter will fit in the bell. The tapered bell prevents the butter from falling out. 1 ½” of water in the bottom creates an air seal when the top is put back in place. This seal keeps the butter fresh. The butter dish can be kept on your kitchen counter so the butter will always be soft and spreadable. Cedar sprigs are impressed on the bottom part of this piece. The top is decorated with a mountain forest image. My French butter dishes are offered in seven color choices. Dimensions: 4” Tall x 4 ¼” Diameter.
Do you need a spot of decorative color but have no room on a countertop or table? The perfect solution is one of my small sconces that hang on the wall. These sconces are glazed on the inside to hold water for fresh flowers; and also display dried or silk flowers well. Better than a picture because there is a whole new look when the flowers are changed! Sconces can also be used to hold other items like pens, scissors, or tooth brushes. Available in nine styles and colors. Dimensions: 8 ½” Long x 2” Diameter.
To display flowers in a simple, elegant way, use one of my Ikebana vases. The vase comes with the flower frog already installed. Available in six colors. Dimensions 3 ¼” Tall x 5” diameter
