“Art for Everyday” or Functional Stoneware
Ellison Bay Pottery Studios
Our daily life involves all facets of making functional work for every day use, which is why we say we make “Art for Every Day”. It means a lot to us when our customers and friends let us know how much our work has had an impact on their lives.
Our functional work is microwave, oven and dishwasher safe. Avoid direct heat, use wooden or plastic utensils. Protect the hot pots from cold marble, granite and concrete counter tops. To bake, put room temperature food in pot, then into a cold oven and heat together.
We make pottery for people to use, so we think about how people cook, bake, serve and eat. Weight is a serious consideration. Handles are important. Does the pitcher dribble? How pourable is a teapot? What is the best size for a casserole. And then, of course, there is our drive to express ourselves through design and color. It’s the act of combining all this that creates these one of a kind beautiful pieces of pottery.
Some of the most popular items in our gallery are:
goblet
Goblets
Mugs
Small covered dishes ( we call the butter dishes)
Covered Butter Dish (smb)
Small pitchers 
Serving bowls
Vases of all kinds and sizes
Large covered dishes (these are the famous casseroles)
Casserole (CE)
Hand-less drinking cups
Small dishes (tea bag holders etc.)
Pit Fired Ceramics (which is our customer’s number one favorite)
Our etsy shop is open all the time…

Thanks for your kind words.
Dear Mr. Dietrich,
I met you last Friday when we were visiting Door County. Eric (works for Fermi Lab) and I (sell travel to Asia) had stopped in your shop and got a pair of candlestick holders before we headed over to Newport State Park for a lovely cross country ski.
We are now planning on getting married in Door County next September and are interested in decorating the reception tables with your goblets and candlestick holders which will then become the wedding favors for our guests. The wedding will be small, I am thinking perhaps 12-14 goblets and 8 or 10 candlestick holders.
Would we be able to special order something in advance?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Kiersten
