Absolutely! Every piece of pottery at Apricity Ceramics is adorned with genuine 22k gold. I handpaint each rim with a liquid form of gold made special for ceramics, and for other intricate designs, I use real gold screenprinted decals.

While I don't offer extensive customization options, I'm always open to hearing your ideas. Reach out to me, and let's see what we can create together!

Your handmade pottery is special, so treat it with love! Handwashing is best to preserve the delicate gold accents. Avoid the microwave and dishwasher to keep your pieces looking their best for years to come. Please note, the gold luster used in our pottery is not microwave safe.

While I understand the allure of a good sale, my handmade items are priced to reflect the time, effort, and materials that goes into creating them, so I don't offer discounts on my work.

However, once a year, I do announce a special sale exclusively to subscribers of my email list. If you want to stay in the loop for future sales, be sure to sign up! Rest assured, if I ever offer a sale, my email subscribers will be the first to know.

Yes!

Apricity Ceramics is a one-woman show, and every piece is a labor of love from start to finish. That means I roll up my sleeves and get my hands dirty—I'm talking literally! I I personally mix my clay from raw materials, and formulate my own unique glazes through experimentation,

It's a hands-on process that I'm passionate about, even if it means a bit of mess along the way. But that's just part of the craft!

Feel free to reach out via email at sophia@apricityceramics.com or send me a DM on Instagram. I'm always here to chat about pottery or answer any questions you may have!

Fun fact: whether it's a small ring dish or a large planter, each piece takes roughly the same amount of time to make here at Apricity Ceramics.

It takes one to two days to make an item, three days for it to dry, one day in a bisque kiln, one day to glaze, one day to glaze fire, one day to luster, and one day to luster fire.

That’s a lot of days for just one item!

Because of this, turnaround time for made-to-order items are anywhere from three to eight weeks. Please contact me if you would like to know exactly how long your specific order will take.

For website updates, please allow up to 2 weeks for me to pack your order.

At this time I do not accept cancellations, but if you need your order sent to a different address, please just reach out via email and Im happy to change it for you!

Over the years, I've mastered the art of packing pottery without using any plastic bubble wrap.

I'm all about eco-friendly packaging, so I stick to materials that are biodegradable and recyclable. Your order will be wrapped up snugly with hexcelwrap and packing paper, making sure your pottery arrives safe and sound while keeping things green.

Of course!
