Flower Puddler by JJ Potts
These handcrafted ceramic Flower Puddlers feature rich, layered glazes and organic floral forms, each mounted on a metal stake with a snap-lock feature that keeps them secure in wind and weather. Designed to catch rain or sprinkler water, Flower Puddlers create a shallow reflective pool that adds movement and interest to the garden. The gently raised center creates shallow water edges so birds, butterflies, and pollinators can drink safely without risk of drowning. After rainfall, the collected water may provide a small drinking source for birds and pollinators, while remaining primarily a decorative accent.
Size: Flower is approximately 4.5" in diameter and metal stake is approximately 36" tall.
Handmade by JJ Potts in Salt Lake City, Utah.
It all started in 1999 with a few make-shift tools from the kitchen, some clay and a lot of patience. With just a few high school pottery classes under our belts, we setup our first pottery shop in the family garage and began making and selling Shroomyz ceramic garden mushrooms. The first shop was quite rudimentary to say the least, plaster from the hardware store, super soaker squirt guns and chicken wire were just a few of the makeshift tools we used to make the first Shroomyz. If anyone remembers those very first Shroomyz off the press they truly were "one of a kind." Demand for the Shroomyz grew quickly and our college friends were soon recruited to help out in the JJ Potts studio. Since then most of the original crew has moved on and got "real" jobs but, many of the current employees are still college students working their way through school.
Since leaving the garage, the factory has grown and more equipment has been added to the operation but the original electric kiln given to us by our father to start the operation is still in use today. The production has evolved quite a bit over the years and we have a few more Shroomyz under our belts, but our passion for creating unique and lasting ceramic garden art lives on. We hope you enjoy our work. The Neff Brothers-JJ Potts
