Antony began the pottery business in 2014 after purchasing a small ceramics operation in South Africa; Mavourneen joined full time in 2016. Their U.S. studio opened in August 2024. Drawing on Antony’s landscape-design background and lifelong interest in bonsai, they develop forms that balance planting function with visual detail. Their values center on hands-on work, careful finishing and small-batch character: Antony designs, casts and glazes, while Mavourneen refines pieces and oversees quality control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRed Ceramic Drink Coaster, 4 Inch – Willow Tree Logo\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive everyday drinkware a handmade landing place with this red ceramic coaster.

Each ceramic piece is slip cast by hand, refined and fired in the Colorado studio. Molds provide a consistent starting form, while hand finishing and the firing process give the final surface its individual character. The studio tests commercial glazes on its clay body and fires its ceramics at 2300°F, or 1260°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe finish belongs to the Red selection shown for this listing. Reactive and hand-finished glazes develop during firing, giving every fired surface its own variation.
