Paul Ray

In the heart of historic Seagrove, North Carolina, Paul Ray carries on a family legacy that dates back to the late 1700s. Together with his wife, Evelyn, he shapes each piece of pottery by hand, honoring centuries of craftsmanship while adding his own quiet artistry. Their work is rooted in a simple belief: that handmade pottery brings people closer — connecting hands, hearts, and daily rituals in a way few other things can.

Built for both beauty and everyday use, each piece is finished with a rich, lead-free glaze and is safe for the oven, microwave, and dishwasher. When baking, always begin with a cool oven to protect the pottery, and remember: these pieces are made for many things, but not for open flames or stove tops. Every dish, every meal, every gathering becomes a little more special with pottery touched by tradition.
