In Yazoo Mississippi which is in the hotsell Delta, clay unearthed has sometimes been a type of hazy gray-bluish or a pink, when fired these 2 forms of the clay give almost a Terra-cotta-esk texture or feel and look. Some turn yellow, thus the name.

The clay from the Mississippi Delta is a very good clay to create ceramics. The Mississippi Delta's land and the ground under that land is very fertile and filled with minerals because of the joining of most of the rivers in Mississippi, where there is an abundance of silt, a very rich substance, and one of the best substances to make clay from.

I pack well, take my time, double box, all fragile items and use the best materials to make sure your beautiful piece gets to you unharmed. Too many times since we opened have we gotten or seen someone that got, a broken dream. Faulty packing and careless positioning is the cause. The curriers do not care about your package. I prevent their misdeeds by lovingly packing the right way, so give us 1 extra day to pack, thanks for understanding.
