Handcrafted Blue Spongeware Rabbit by Strawtown Pottery
Charming and timeless, this hand-thrown stoneware rabbit is a delightful example of American studio pottery from Strawtown Pottery of historic Strawtown, Indiana. The upright bunny silhouette and rich cobalt blue sponge glaze give the piece a classic country and farmhouse feel.
Each Strawtown piece is made the traditional way — wheel-thrown by Matt Garrison and hand-decorated by Diane Garrison. The mottled blue spongeware finish creates soft, organic patterning over warm stoneware clay, ensuring no two rabbits are exactly alike.
Measuring 7¼ inches tall, the figure has a pleasing sculptural presence while remaining easy to tuck onto a shelf, mantel, or tabletop vignette. The underside bears the impressed Strawtown studio mark.
🐇 Collector’s Note: Spongeware has been loved for generations for its cozy, country look. Modern studio potters like Strawtown keep the tradition alive, making each hand-painted piece uniquely one-of-a-kind.
