As a ceramic artist, one of the most rewarding parts of my work has been watching my handmade pottery travel far beyond my studio. From a wavy ceramic bowl that that is the centerpeice of a living room to a hand-built vase that adds warmth to a dining room, each piece carries a story. Sending pottery across the country allows me to share not just the work itself but also the heart and care that go into every bowl, vase, and sculpture I create.
I have shipped pottery to homes throughout the US, and now I am setting a new goal of connecting with collectors in all 50 states. Each shipment is more than a delivery. It is a way to bring handmade art into the daily lives of people who truly value it.
Watch the Journey: Interactive Shipping Map
To make this journey easier to follow, I am building an interactive US map that highlights each state as it is reached. Every shipment will light up a state, showing where Allison Neiss Pottery has already traveled and where it will go next.
Why Nationwide Shipping Matters
Every handmade bowl, vase, or sculpture is carefully packed with love and attention to detail. These pieces are not only functional but are also meant to bring joy, spark conversation, and add beauty to daily life.
Wavy bowls bring texture and elegance, whether holding fruit or displayed as décor.
Hand-built vases welcome fresh flowers and natural elements into the home, creating calm and beauty.
Sculptures add depth and character, turning everyday spaces into places filled with meaning.
Stories from the Studio to Your Home
Below are few examples of some of the pieces sent nationwide
A Ceramic Coastal Bowl Heads to Texas
One of my favorite shipments was the Aruba Bowl, a flowing blue ceramic piece sent as a birthday gift to Texas. Its rippling edges and ocean-inspired glaze made it a thoughtful present that is both functional and beautiful.
The Deep Sea Wavy Bowl Brightens Tennessee
The Deep Sea Flutter Bowl found its new home in Tennessee, where it became the centerpiece of a dining table. Hearing how its vibrant colors elevated the space reminds me why I love sharing my pottery with others.
Bringing Coastal Calm: Blue Ceramic Bowl Shipped to Florida
The Blue Decorative Bowl, with hues of deep blue, soft white, and soft green, captures the feeling of calm coastal waters. Sent to Florida, it now brings a touch of seaside serenity into its new home.
A Handmade Ceramic Ruffle Bowl Finds New York
Delicate and layered like a blooming flower, a handmade ceramic ruffle bowl was sent to New York. Knowing it now sits as the centerpiece of a dining table, adding both art and function, makes every careful step of packing and shipping worthwhile.

I will continue updating this blog and the interactive map as new states light up. If your state has not been reached yet, perhaps you will be the next to welcome a handmade piece from my studio. Browse the collection, follow along, and join me in celebrating the beauty of handcrafted ceramics as they travel across the country.
