Our Story
Eleanor Gray was first introduced to Polish Pottery by her daughter in 1992, and has had a passion for hand-crafted pottery ever since. After she retired, Eleanor decided to share her love of pottery with others, and the Pottery Niche was born.
Twelve years later, Eleanor is still supplying Holmes County and the surrounding areas with exquisitely crafted, beautiful pottery, to enthusiasts, casual collectors, and those who enjoy high-quality kitchenware.
Patterned and Unikat Pieces
At the Pottery Niche, all of the pottery is hand-painted, making every piece somewhat unique. Most pieces are painted in one of the many popular patterns (like "Peacock"). However, some pieces are painted much more intricately, and are often signed by the artists. These "Unikat" pieces are truly one-of-a-kind, and feature more colors, and a more complicated design than traditional pieces. An example of two such Unikat pieces can be found in the photo to the left. The Pottery Niche features many popular patterns, as well as Unikat pieces to meet the desires of any collector.
