Emerson Creek Pottery

Emerson Creek Pottery has specialized in handcrafted stoneware since 1977. Based in the foothills of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, the studio focuses on “functional art”—pieces designed for daily use that maintain high standards of safety and durability. Every item is produced in the USA using non-toxic ingredients sourced from North American suppliers, ensuring all ceramics are entirely lead-safe and cadmium-free.

For the health-conscious pet parent, Emerson Creek provides a practical alternative to plastic and low-grade ceramic imports. Their pet collection features heavy-duty stoneware bodies with wide, stable bases to prevent tipping. The high-fired glazes create a non-porous surface that is naturally resistant to bacteria and easy to sanitize. Available in organic, earthy tones and clean, minimalist designs, these bowls are microwave, dishwasher, and oven safe.
