Finally, our online treasure hunt paid off, as we found River Market Pottery, the manufacturer and importer of these pots. They directed us to a retailer in our region which had recently begun to carry their products, and although we didn't find the exact pot that inspired our search, we found several others which immediately became permanent additions to our yard.
We were blown away with the depth and intricacies of the decorations. The craftsmanship was miles beyond anything we had found during our quest – each pot was really an individual work of art, with its own personality and mood. The pots really brought a new dimension to the shrubs and flowers we planted in them, as though we were combining two beautiful things together to form one, greater beautiful unit.
As the seasons rolled on, we became even more impressed with our pots. During the fire and brimstone temperatures of the Midwestern summer the glazes neither faded nor cracked. During that especially wet fall, our pots remained sturdy and intact as we headed for winter. After taking just a few simple precautions to freeze-proof the pots, we swallowed hard and left our pots to face the cold, ice, and snow on their own.
We were amazed that the manufacturer’s promises held true—the pots survived without damage! This was the moment when we realized that we had found a truly special product and the seed for The Flower Pot Shop was planted in our minds.
