Daneen’s Notes
My love affair with wares from Farmhouse Pottery began when my husband and I were gifted four simple white “Silo” soup mugs a few Christmases ago, and a day does not go by that we are not using these in some capacity. They are the perfect shape, size and depth and work for everything from yogurt and granola to chili, cobbler and pot pies. This Vermont studio pottery was started by a husband and wife team whose old world methods are executed with simple tools and strong beliefs in process and authenticity, and the beauty of their products lies in their elegant form and practical function.
In addition to Silo Soup Mugs, we have expanded our offering this season to include their large and medium Farmer’s Pitchers shown here. Proven as an elegant workhorse on the farmhouse table, its hand formed spout and sturdy handle are uniquely crafted elements that provide easy pouring, and the pear shaped form displays flowers with grace. A little Bell Pitcher paired with a bottle of Vermont Farmhouse Grade A maple syrup (liquid gold!) is a treasure of a gift for anyone’s table. Quiet, elegant, practical – my checklist for a perfect gift.
