Welcome To Castle Rock Pottery!

"PLATTE WHEELER VASE"

"Platte Wheeler Vase" designed by Fred Wills, Retired Master Potter formerly with Van Briggle Pottery in Colorado Springs, CO. Fred's work is loved by collectors nationally and internationally, and he is considered to be the United States' most prolific potter. A true American Craftsman ... Fred Wills is well-respected for his talent and love of the pottery wheel.  Fred retired several years ago, but lucky for us -- still has the desire to create beautiful American Art pottery. 

New design is offered in a partnership with Fred Wills and Castle Rock Pottery.  "Platte Wheeler Vase" is a unique, created in May 2011, adorned with hand carving across the front of its surface in a wheat pattern.  It was originally hand-thrown on the pottery wheel and hand carved by Fred.  It was then moulded for the sake of reproduction, then cast, etched and glazed by Castle Rock Potters.   Hand signed by Fred Wills.  100% Made in America!! 

PLATTE WHEELER VASE stands 7 1'2" tall and 3 1/2" at its widest part -- a fabulous size for a cabinet vase.  Note the symmetrical, graceful lines -- perfection evident from the hands of a Master. The glaze is a satin finish in dark red/burgundy color, with black highlights. The molten glazes flow into the hand carved surface.  Fantastic color! 

The vase is marked "FW" and "5-11" -- created in May 2011. "Fred Wills Design, Castle Rock Pottery"
