Judith Duff
http://www.judithduff.com/
Wood and gas fired ware by this fine North Carolina potter.
Number 7 Arts
http://www.number7arts.com
has a few more fine pieces by Judith.

Two other good potters with a few pieces on this site are Mary Murray and Jan Lee.
(Click on "Clay" in the menu then click on the relevant photo.)
Wendy Ellwel and Dennis Bern
http://www.bernwellpottery.com/
Two more from North Carolina.
A husband and wife who are both excellent potters.
Dennis makes very strong thrown functional
(utilitarian, according to his artist's statement.)
The use of soft stoneware clays, wood ash glazes, and gas reduction firing
are the means used to achieve the tactile quality present in his work.
His wife Wendy makes mainly dinnerware, with an excellent attention to detail.
Cynthia Spencer (Corvallis, Oregon)
http://www.cmug.com/~cynthia_spencer/Index.html
Vases, sculpture and functional serving ware.
Strong and interesting forms with visually striking glazes.
San Juan de Oriente, Nicaragua
http://www.oneworldprojects.com/products/pottery.shtml
Pottery hand-crafted by artisans from this village
which has been involved with "Potters for Peace."
Modern hand making methods, such as wheel throwing.
Traditional or Escher-like decoration.
Click on text below images for more pots.
"Maverick on the Web"
http://grovenet.net/~cirplex/
A large collection of excellent American Art Pottery pieces.
While there is a lot here of interest to the Americana collector,
Be aware that "The Gallery" (first pottery link) opens on a Blonde,
- a nude figurine, kind of like the old 50's calendar art girls.
