Teardrop Trailer Pottery

My Teardrop Trailer Story

It was quite by accident that I discovered the world of Teardrops.  I was looking for a small cargo trailer to transport my pottery to shows and deliveries and ran across "Little Guy" Teardrops in San Diego.


Wow, what a great fit this would be!  I could use it as a mini-cargo trailer and camper (as I can no longer backpack and have grown tired of pitching a tent and sleeping on an uncomfortable cot.)

     

After delivering some free mugs to my first gathering in Why, AZ (by Ajo), I realized the whole adventure was a wonderful opportunity to make potter for Teardrops, Tiny, and Vintage trailers - while also having so fantastically good times with new friends.  I now attend Teardrop gatherings.

     

Traveling in comfort with my "Silver Shadow" Little Guy Teardrop, I am frequently on the road.  My husband continues to be supportive of my solo trips, especially when I am with groups of helpful, delightful people.  I am inspired to have some creative fun, developing a variety of pottery items that are useful and sturdy for trailer travelers. 

Welcome to the Teardrop Pottery Store

Below are some examples of what is available.  Special orders are welcomed.  Choose from a variety of colors, designs, carved backgrounds, type of trailer, etc.

Pet Dishes

Another very popular traveling item, these small bowls are great for beating an egg or whatever you wish to fill it with.  Bowls sizes vary - prices start at $30.00 each.  Again, please let me know if you have a color, design and size preference.

Pet Dishes

Pet Dishes

Don't forget your furry traveling pal or Fido at home.  These water bowls are designed to keep the water much cooler than the outside air!  Based on an old Anasazi process, the water bowls are unglazed so the water percolates slowly through the grooved surface, like an evaporative cooler.  The bottom inside of the bold is glazed for easier wash-up.  $40.00

Platters and Chip and Dippers

These small platters and chip n' dip plates (about 10-12 inches in diameter) make serving munchies with your trailer pals fun and convenient.  $50.00

Tiles with Hooks

Tiles with hooks for those keys that you misplace.  These convenient helpers come with one, two, or three hooks and a heavy-duty velcro backing.  I put one in my galley and one in the cabin.  Also, they're handing for hanging a pair of reading glasses.

Pick your trailer design and color.

1 hook - $18.00

2 hook - $25.00

3 hook - $35.00

To Place an Order

Please email Mary with your detailed request.

Please allow for 3 - 4 weeks for orders.  The clay process takes much time from start to finish.  

I also fire only when the kiln is full.  I have three electric kilns of different capacities, and fire in a gas kiln on another site.
