Hilborn Pottery - First in Canadiana Series

Canadiana Series - Hilborn Pottery

Art Pottery is a popular collectible. Many specialize in specific makers or genres like California Art Pottery, Moorcroft, Blue Mountain and thousands of other categories and manufacturers.

Hilborn Pottery Design is a small Canadian studio, family owned and run, and in production since 1975 in Cambridge Ontario Canada. Current items can be purchased at a select few boutiques in North America as well as via their on line website.  Items are unique, innovative, hand-made, functional, and colourful. Visit their website at Hilborn.

Hilborn's designer/artist Nancy Hilborn, creates a one-of-a-kind limited edition design or pattern and retires it quickly to move on to new and fresh creations. The retired pieces are highly sought after by those collecting and can be hard to find, even on the secondary market. 

Hilborn pieces are guaranteed food & drink safe, dishwasher, oven, and micro-wave proof.  Each piece is hand signed "Hilborn". 

Some retired examples:

Pinch Pot. A popular design, recreated in many patterns & colours. Useful for condiments and dips with a convenient spot to hold a spreader or small spoon in the curled end!

An unusually large Table Vase (Hilborn typically creates smaller bud vases or wall pockets), free-form, with curled detail and in a gorgeous periwinkle blue!
