San Diego has a pottery problem. We have plenty of places where you can get imported pots from China and Vietnam, but that is about it. If you are looking for anything else (say a Spanish looking vase to use as the center of a fountain, or a classic English garden urn) you have to go looking a little harder.
Thank goodness we finally have access to some really nice modern pottery, thanks to Grounded in Encinitas. If you haven’t been there yet, please go! It is in the LumberYard on Highway 101 (and I’d recommend stopping in for a glass of wine at the 3rd Corner while you are there). They have a good selection of modern indoor and outdoor furniture and accessories.
These are just a few: Fruit Trough by Gus Modern ($115), Circle Pot by Gainey Ceramics ($89 ea), and Architectural Pottery Sculpture Column ($105).
Can someone please hire me to do a mid-century design for them so I can use the sculpture column….?
