...lives and creates his pottery in rural Berks county.  His small forms are a unique blend of Classical and Traditional, inspired by the Pennsylvania German Fraktur in Davis' own style. 

Each pot is hand-formed on the potters wheel.  Each handle meticulously sculpted. These warm-colored creations are clad in a rare crystal glaze, rendering a distinctive look of antiquity. 

He carefully mixes these as the ancient potters did, from his own secret recipes, using only elementary clays and mineral powders.

Salks is a native of Berks County and lives near the famous Oley Valley, an area well-known for its rich cultural influence.

There he works as a full-time Early American folk artist and potter creating works inspired by the Pennsylvania German heritage of this region.

2005 marks the first year that Salks brings his work to the marketplace.

Our trademark pottery glazes (or glass coatings) are Salks originals.

Their special quality reflects the warm, old world charm that is treasured by many collectors of fine pottery.

These are all mixed by hand from the raw powders of mineral and metal compounds according to unique recipes that were painstakingly created from years of trial and error.
