Quicksilver’s Pirate Pots
Avast, ye scallywag!
Welcome aboard me cyber-ship!
I’d advise ye to read this here yarn before placin’ yer order, so’s we understands each other.
Items labeled with “Order Online” be part of me usual production, and if ye’re lucky I may have some in me hold ready to ship. If not, I’ll make ye any of the other goods ye sees, and will work with ye on personalized requests, too. If I have the items in stock, yer orders will usually ship within two weeks, via FedEx ground. If ye need something quicker, I’ll accommodate ye if possible and adjust your freight bill accordingly.
If I don’t have items ye wants ready to ship, it may take 8-12 weeks to complete yer order. I be only one man hauling all of the lines, trimming the sails, and keeping this ship on course. There are many steps and details in crafting clay via old-world methods, and I have a big kiln to fill. Thankee fer yer patience and understanding.
It is well nigh impossible to predict shipping totals accurately online, since order size and destination vary - so rates be listed on a per-piece basis. If you order multiple items, I may send you a refund proportional to actual handling costs. I’ll be right fair with ye ~ Trust me, I’m a pirate!
One other thing about shipping: the per-piece rates apply to the continental United States only. Shipments to Alaska and Hawaii may cost a bit more, and orders bound for international destinations are certain to have additional costs due to distance, customs, and other piratical tariffs. If ye lives outside our boundaries, contact me directly and we’ll chart yer course together. Ye have me gratitude fer yer business and yer piratical spirit! Feel free to write me about any questions, surprises, or custom requests that ye may have.
Keep to the code,
Morrigan Quicksilver

About Quicksilver’s Work
Every piece is designed and made here at Lost Mountain, by me own hand. I use clay blended from stoneware and porcelain that will weather the storms of time, hard use, savage dishwashers, and the infernal microwave. I fire the work in electric, gas, or wood-fueled kilns. It’s sturdy, and built to last. Don’t be afraid to hoist it, enjoy it, use it!
I formulate me own glazes here at Lost Mountain — they contain no lead or harmful materials (if ye put rum or other nefarious substances in yer mug or jug that’s yer own business, me bucko!)
Inventory varies with season and the tides of ongoing shows. If ye be curious about the availability of a particular piece, send me a note and we’ll parlay.
Custom Requests?
I’ll consider ‘em. Acceptance depends on the nature of yer proposition, the clink of yer doubloons, and if I likes the cut o’ yer jib…
