Each piece is completely handcrafted and signed "Peter Pots." There is a slight variation between pieces, and if you are ordering several pieces, we make every effort to pick items as similar as possible. We strive to keep all items in stock, but we may need to make something for your order. Please allow up 2 weeks for our potters to make your pieces.
