We’ve been working on some more stuff for our Etsy shop. The first picture is of some berry bowls (they’re upside down in this photo), these are basically small colanders made to wash berry’s and the like. These are about four to five inches tall and roughly five to six inches wide.
The next photo is of some goblets (they are upside down as well, I had just finished throwing the stem so they were still wet and could not support the weight of the cup). I have always enjoyed making goblets, I don’t really know why they are just fun. Anyway they are about six to eight inches tall.
Condiment Bowls are what we are calling these little fellows. Basically they’re two small prep bowls attached to each other with a loop handle added. They are maybe two inches tall and two to three inches wide (combined to be about six inches wide). You can see some other handles in the background, which shows that the handle isn’t perfectly straight (they have a slight twist to them (I enjoy them being slightly off like that)).
Also, here are two of the butter bells from the last post. These have been finished with a handle/foot ring added to the top of the butter part, and feet added to the part that holds the water. These little guys look like acorns to us.
Here is a group shot of the berry bowls and condiment bowls along with some plates that I have been working on (which will be slightly square(ish) when I am finished).
And last but not least is the new drive shaft for the treadle wheel. As you can see I switched to pipe instead of solid steel (this is so I don’t have to weld anything, just screw them all together). You can see where the other driveshaft broke, the upper middle on the left side.
Thanks for reading, and feel free to let us know what you think and any suggestions on what you would like to see us make, we always look forward to your comments.

Love! Love! Love the berry bowls!! So cute, functional and nice to serve in too. I really like the condiment cups too. (you like slightly twisted?? Great!! You fit into the fam perfectly!!) The goblets are beautiful and slightly "hobbit-ish". I really like the acorn-ness of the butter bowls. Keep it up - you're doing great!
