About Mark of the Potter
Mark of the Potter commenced operations in the Spring of 1969, located in what was formerly known as Grandpa Watt’s grist mill. While the mill wheel halted decades ago, our skilled potters diligently work at their wheels creating exceptional pieces for our gallery. We have six potters employed at our shop and source pottery from an additional 30 potters, primarily from the southeast region. The diverse array of styles ensures that our selection remains fresh and continually evolving. Our collection includes a variety of functional ware and an assortment of distinctive decorative items. Visit us to discover your new favorite coffee mug and other unique treasures. We are situated on scenic Highway 197 along the beautiful Soque River. Purchase a pot and enjoy feeding the trout!
