Beaumont Pottery

Jerry creates the most beautiful, durable and supremely functional pottery I have ever found anywhere. My husband and I now live more than 3 hours away in the Shenandoah Valley, where there are many excellent potters. Still, when it comes to dishes, bowls, mugs, etc., I just want to keep adding to what we’ve purchased from Beaumont Pottery. After 5 years of regular use, our soup bowls are as good as new and they still thrill me visually like a good piece of art. Jerry’s glazes and colors are just so special! He and his wife are wonderfully kind people, too. His prices were very reasonable a few years ago, and I imagine they still are. A love of money is not what motivates this couple to produce. It’s all about love for them, and it shows. It’s definitely worth the drive, but do call first!

They have Zeke’s Coffee! I stopped in here since I didn’t feel like driving down to Lauraville. They have a lot more than pottery. I definitely recommend stopping in and checking them out.

Visited on a whim with my wife and mother-​in-​law, and was pleasantly surprised. Neither of us are big on antiques or clutter-​making tchotchkes, but their work is really sophisticated and modern. One of the Beaumonts introduced herself and explained that the pottery was created to be dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe, and the pieces are intended to be «lived in.» The items are also really reasonably priced. A great stop in Phoenix!
