     I am a fan of nice pottery and it just doesn't get any nicer that "Prairie Fire Pottery". I have several pieces and will continue to buy more. I love it.

     On my way through ND, I stopped and bought a large serving bowl. I receive compliments from many on its craftsmanship. A perfect place to shop for weddings, special events, or even yourself. Thanks!

Virginia Lepage, Fargo, ND
     Purchased the handbuilt Prairie Fire tray on 8/21/07. I have placed it in its "special place" in our living room. It is beautiful and it "speaks" to me that its colors are North Dakota. I love the free form of the tray and the way you did the protection molds and pads on the bottom. Many thanks!
 
Sara Volk, Sherwood ND
     I've been to this website before and it is beautiful, but it does not compare with seeing your work in person. I am in love with Elmo too, can't wait to come back and give him a scritch.
 
Patricia Gunther, Blairstown, NJ
     Just opened my Christmas present from my son and daughter-in-law. They gave me two beautiful mugs. As an avid collector of pottery, I am thrilled to add this to my collection and all the way from North Dakota. The colors are brilliant and match the decor to my new kitchen perfectly. This gift is a perfect addition to my collection.

Kenneth Bailey, Sidney, MT
     On the Feb 21st I delivered a beautiful blue pitcher to the Major Kenneth D. Bailey, USMC. Ruth absolutely loved the pitcher as did her daughters. Please read a short bio on the Major below: Major Kenneth D. Bailey was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor on 24 March 1943, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt during a special ceremony at the White House, for heroic conduct during action in the Solomon Islands. The medal was presented to Maj Bailey's wife. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions during an intense battle to repulse the enemy at Henerson Field on Guadalcanal.

     My mom really loved the small vase I got her. She said it was the most interesting, unusual and beautiful vase she'd ever seen. That's saying something since she's been around a long time and has travelled the world.

Tracy Forehand, Patuxent River, MD
     I acquired my first piece of Prairie Fire Pottery while living in Japan. Tama was gracious enough to send the "northern lights" bowl overseas. The bowl survived the shipping to Japan and the return trip back to the states. It is still my favorite piece of pottery. I am so thrilled to see this web site. Thank you Tama.

Juli Maurice, Crookston, MN
     Visited your store in mid-July. I was so pleased to meet you both, and very much appreciated your encouragement in pursuing my own potting pursuits. The mug I bought sits in a spot where I can always see it, reminding me of beautiful western ND and your gorgeous pottery, and also gives me inspiration to one day create something, I hope, as beautiful. Thank you.
