The pot that started them all, pot #1. The first cup I ever made, in 7th grade. I've handcrafted and sold over of over 50,000 pots, shipped to customers all over the world. But it is pure luck that my parents kept this first one I ever made, and passed it on to me. Looks like an earthenware or terracotta with a low-fire or mid-range glaze, electric fired, made in the year 2000 in my grade school art class.

Welcome to the Jewel Gallery. Every time I fire a pottery kiln, I save the one or two best pots from the firing, the "Jewels" from the kiln. I've been collecting this art for years, all the way back to the first pot ever made in the year 2000. I built this "Jewel Gallery" for this art to live in, to show how the art evolves over time, when you dedicate your life to making a living as a potter. 

Each Jewel is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, made from handmade paper by Sienna Cherrico, written and signed by Joel Cherrico.
