LOTR-Inspired Pottery
About the Turondo Potters
Coming Soon: The Stone of Osgiliath had been lost in the waters of Anduin in 1437, during the civil war of the Kin-strife.
These stoneware spheres are inspired by Tolkien's Palantiri and are suitable for use indoors or out. They can serve as paperweight or a "gazing ball" in a garden, or even a float in a pond. Each is handmade on the pottery wheel and signed on the bottom; no two are alike. They come in three sizes: Small (2-3 inches in diameter), Medium (4-5 in. diameter) and Large (6-8 in. diameter). All sizes approximate.
Gandalf's Tumbler
The graceful, fluted design is only the beginning. Look at the upper left photo, at the bottom of the tumbler. The center is orange, the color of the clay itself. This cup was not glazed on the bottom, nor was the bottom "trimmed" to make a foot around the base of the cup. Instead, it was left to dry on the pottery wheel until it popped off from the shrinkage of the clay.

In contrast, the mugs and tankards seen in Hobbiton and Rohan are typically more detailed, with "trimmed" bases, fancy handles, or elaborate glazes. These potters have a smaller group to supply, so they have time to add these extra touches.
Stoneware. Food, microwave, and dishwasher-safe.
Tengwar Inscriptions

Kat's pottery features inscriptions in Quenyan, Westron, Cirth, and sometimes even English. Kat uses around 30 different phrases, and makes custom pieces too--for example, your name written in Tengwar characters, in the color of your choice.

The Ranger's Stein

When I saw this beautiful prop in FOTR, I just had to try my hand at it. The tumbler took a
while to get just right, but I've finally got it. The most spectacular part of this vessel
is the handle, which arches nicely to fit the whole hand.

And Now For Something Completely Different...

These stoneware plates are etched with the emblem of the Klingon empire and glazed in amber or black (shown). I have a small number that have been etched with Klingon phrases (in Klingon, using the pIqaD characters) such as "May you die before you are captured" and "Khitomer." In the works are inscriptions "Eat your Gahk," "4000 throats can be slit in one night by a running man," and the classic "Revenge is a dish best served cold."
