I have had an amazing experience with Ben and the rest of the Willows Pottery staff. I live in…read moreTexas and wanted something I could personalize to give as a gift. Even though there was a bit of a time crunch, the folks at Willows made it work. They created the most beautiful bread plate for me, with the inscription I wanted stamped on the front and my name and date inscribed on the back. It is a lovely, one-of-a-kind piece, which made it to Texas safely and in a timely fashion. This place is a great resource if you want something hand-made in Georgia, a unique gift (especially, I would think, a wedding gift), or beautiful new serving pieces to use when you entertain. Their pottery looks like it came straight out of a Southern Living "Best Gifts Handmade in the South" feature, and I will definitely be calling them again the next time I need a charming, wow-factor present or a little something special for myself.
