How have I never been in this beautiful and delightful shop before!?…read moreNow that I've rectified that major misstep I am can honestly say I am thrilled to have stumbled into the shop after a recent lunch in The Fork in the Road which is adjacent. I was warmly welcomed by Lisa when I walked in...always such a nice touch to be welcomed into a shop and sadly it happens far too infrequently these days. I don't think many shop owners realize how wonderful that personal touch is. Local Pottery is filled with a gorgeous and wide variety of pottery selections made by a number of different artisans. Everything was simply stunning. Plates, platters, bowls, dishes, creamers...you name it. As well, there is an assortment of handmade jewelry. There are a variety of price points so I think most anyone can find something lovely that they can afford. The pottery had so many gorgeous finishes and colors. It's stunning inside. I am sure I didn't even take all of it in yet. Lisa told me they change the merchandise frequently so there will regularly be something new to look at. I really hadn't gone in with the intention of buying anything but I found a very large tea mug that I thought would make a nice gift. By the time I got home, I decided I needed that gift myself! So much for my good intentions. However, I plan to return in the next couple of days because my cousin has a birthday coming up and in hindsight, I think she would love a pair of glass earrings I saw. Lisa told me they have a festive time in the store over the Christmas holiday and I can only imagine how fun shopping here for gifts will be. Local Pottery is on the main drag of Washington Street in Norwell but tucked behind Trattoria San Pietro. Don't just zip by in your car as clearly I've done for far too long. Thank you Lisa for your help and kindness! I'll be back!
