For years I have made the trip to San Francisco to scout Mary Mar’s latest ceramic designs and purchase pieces for my home as well as gifts for my friends and family. Now I have the pleasure of featuring Mary Mar’s beautiful and unique pottery here in the shop. Her ceramics are perfectly suited for Prima Palate with collections of olive oil pourers, salt and pepper dishes, tea pots, cappuccino cups, and an assortment of beautiful serving dishes.

Her passion for her art is apparent in her pieces–each with a different and unique flare. Mary Mar co-owned and operated Verdigris Clay Studio and Gallery from 1999-2007. There she worked in her own studio space as well as showcased the work of many other bay area ceramics artists. Currently she can be found in her own studio in Hayes Valley and continues to reach new creative levels with each collection . She has studied to perfect her art for many years, including an intense ceramics program in Florence, Italy. Her pottery is used in many of San Francisco’s finest restaurants.

She also runs her own company, Purple Bird Designs, an online business specializing in customized baby plates and bowls. Be sure to check it out the next time you need a special gift for a new little one. http://www.purplebirddesigns.com/

I am super excited to offer her pieces here in Tiburon!
