D. Lasser Ceramics: Handmade Pottery Vermont

Collecting pottery pieces was something I used to love and felt like I really needed to get back to. When we first moved to our home in Vermont about 12 years ago, the first thing I wanted for our home was handmade Vermont pottery for our everyday dishes.

D. Lasser was just down the road from where we had enjoyed a weekend ski house in Londonderry, Vermont, for several years before moving later to our permanent home in Vermont. This is where I purchased this mixed collection of handmade pottery pieces that I am sharing with you today.

This D. Lasser handmade Vermont pottery is rich in color and earth tones, making it a favorite for tablescapes and everyday use. Both indoors and outdoors too.

Mix and Match Patterns

Creating a mixed Vermont pottery tablescape is truly inspiring. When I purchased our D. Lasser pottery, I selected several different and unique patterns to mix and match. You can tell all the pieces are of the same artistic style. However, the mix-and-match look gives it eclectic and imaginative design options.

Rustic Charm

Use pottery pieces with earthy tones and textures. Arrange them on a wooden table along with natural elements like branches or dried flowers. Add candles for a cozy touch.

Here, I added red winterberries from our backyard with gold flatware and pewter candlesticks, mixing up the tablescape’s metal designs as well.

Minimal Elegance

Choose your Vermont pottery in neutral shades like white, gray, red, and black. Keep the table setting simple with clean lines and minimal decor. Add a single statement piece, such as a large ceramic vase or bowl.

Next, I added thrifted blue glass goblets, which are rich in color and style, yet minimal by design since they are thrifted and all.

Use Your Imagination

Decorating with Vermont pottery can evoke an earthy and moody feeling that we all sometimes feel in the off-season. However, the hardiness of the Vermont pottery, combined with a mix-and-match tablescape, is welcoming and pleasing.

Play with different heights, textures, and patterns to create an interesting and visually appealing tablescape.

Tablescape Centerpiece

The red winterberries on my Vermont pottery tablescape are from our backyard in Maine and are displayed in a vintage pottery piece that was my mother’s. My parents adored the winterberries and decorated with them every winter here at the house. My father also enjoyed cutting and packaging the berries to send to his brothers and sisters to decorate with every holiday season.

I treasure this memory, so here, the winterberries are at the center of our Vermont pottery tablescape.
