The Wave Collection
Living in the Southeast of Ireland we are surrounded by the majesty of the sea. Here the Irish Sea meets the Atlantic, bringing a different seascape to our coastline daily, from ferocious stormy waves battering our shores, to barely rippling water tickling the sand, providing unending inspiration for Patricia’s work.

Sculptural Planters
The Potter’s Yard sculptural planters are inspired by and named for the local beaches of the South Wexford coastline.
These carapace-like ceramic containers planted with exotic succulents for ease of maintenance need only occasional light watering and thrive outdoors or in a cool well lit interior.
Planters must be collected directly from the shop and cannot be posted.
Mugs, Jugs and Teatime Essentials

About the Pottery
All of The Potter’s Yard tableware ranges can be decorated with waves, ivy or willow leaves. Waves will be cobalt blue and leaves sage green. Please specify your preference when ordering.
Pieces are created using a white earthenware clay fired to 1120 degrees centigrade. All tableware is both dish washer and microwave tolerant.
Each piece is made individually by hand, decorated by sponge printing and brush work. Slight variations may occur.
