Ugh oh, I broke my lid. What do I do now?

Once a piece is broken, its not best to try to glue or “fix” the piece.

Lids are special, as they are thrown with the pot from the moment it is wet clay. They dry together, are bisqued together, and are glazed together–they’re quite inseparable.

Consider using the pot without its lid, and purchasing another to take its place in the every-day use in your home. You’ll be delighted you did.

If it’s not for cooking purposes, a powerful glue can hold the piece in place, but is naturally prone to breaking again

A small piece of enamel on the inside of my pot chipped away. Is it safe to use, and how do I fix it?

If the chip is on the outside of the pot, it is still safe to use. Coat the chipped spot with oil to keep moisture out.

However, if the chip is on the inside, contact us with a high-resolution picture.
It is possible that we may be able to re-fire the piece for a $50 re-firing fee.

I think I scorched my pot, and there are brown marks on the inside of my pot. How do I remove them?

To prevent staining, use only medium or low heat settings. However, stains will occur with use, and we recommend filling a pot with one part enzyme laundry detergent and three parts water. Boil for ten minutes, let cool and discard solution. Wash the pot with regular dish detergent, rinse and dry.

To restore your pot’s sheen, apply a light coat of white vinegar.

How do I know Bungalow Potter will not discontinue a color once I start collecting wares in that color?

We have several basic colors that will remain available, but we like to introduce new colors from time to time to keep things exciting. Our glazes are subject to the availability of natural resources, and materials necessary for each glaze.

Currently, all our glazes are meant to coordinate and relate, so color combinations are encouraged–don’t just stick to one color.

If you prefer a set, one specific color or such, consider commissioning a project here

What folks say

  • I got two lovely pieces from Bungalow Potter and really love ’em! BP has some really beautiful items–and I really enjoy the website. My mug and bowl in my casa have added some much needed color. LOVE IT!

    Wayne B.
  • I Picked up this beautiful little pitcher from Stæven Lewis Frey of Bungalow Potter last week. Oh my word. It has brightened my whole house. Pictures don’t do it justice. So impressed with the weight and quality. It’s beauty blesses me daily. In fact, I wanted one of everything….every piece I saw in Staeven’s studio was purely lovely. Handmade may cost more, but you get what you pay for.

    Christi S.
  • I used to not like pottery. It was pretentious, and not practical. I feel like I’ve discovered pottery all over again–that’s practical, humble, and I can use it every day and not feel like I have to manage a hedge fund to have it either.

    Anonymous, TN
  • I own some pottery from Bungalow Potter! I came upon this business online, now I cant stop purchasing things! It makes such a great unique gift that lasts a lifetime and there are SO many choices too. It is all handmade from beginning to end. The customer service is very personal, straight from the artist himself. He is quick to respond to questions and very friendly.

    Traci, IL
  • Being friends with Stæven already, I always was asking for lessons–but couldn’t believe it when I actually had one. It was unbelievable. I had no clue what I was doing, but made pieces out of clay–I’d never thought I could. It was more like therapy–or playing–than work!

    Jeremy P.
  • I came to make a mug for a birthday, and ended up making three pieces! Stæven made it easy to understand each stage, making everything fun and never overwhelming–walking me through every stage, and letting me express my ideas–helping me get there. AND I love my pieces!
