Mad Potter on the Move

The Mad Potter has wandered into Vineyard Haven and is now selling his pottery at Morrice Florist on State Road.

The work of his royal madness is truly unique. Towering castles, mermaid and Celtic knotwork bowls, vases, goblets, dragon mugs: If you buy it the fairies will come and move in with you.

Potter, Mad spent his formative years in Ireland. So, yes, he does understand what the wee creatures like. And his artistic flair is unmatched.
