Ron Hinkle’s hand-blown glassware is a favorite of wedding couples. These ice screamers, which come in a variety of colors, will serve many sweet treats.

The bride and groom might enjoy Jeff Fetty’s calla lily candlesticks. These candlesticks are his original design and are made from iron, finished in natural black and range in height from 18 to 20 inches. Sold in sets of three, these candlesticks make an elegant display for the couple’s mantle or table. Add a MountainMade taper candle.

MountainMade recently received an order from our potter, Lambros. He creates functional pottery pieces in a variety of popular colors. His coffee mugs, soup cups, casseroles, bowls, etc., are certain to be enjoyed for years to come.

But if it’s Blenko you want to give, MountainMade will have a new selection by Friday. Check the website or give us a call.

Red Gifts for Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day brings out the reds—red hearts, red roses, red candy—the list goes on and on.

For your “red-day” gift giving, MountainMade has selected a few red items.

These whimsical red felt lip sculptures by Loretta Nolan will bring a smile to many folks. Give someone a kiss today.

If the heart pines for jewelry, these ruby earrings might hit the spot. Wrapped in 14kt gold, Elyssa Marsland’s rubies might spark a fire in the heart.

If you don’t fancy ruby earrings, perhaps the Blenko ruby water bottle might interest you. The Blenko glass tradition continues to brighten homes.

For someone who likes handmade pottery, Scottie Weist’s red leaf bowl would be a wonderful gift.

Maybe we have given you some ideas for your Valentine’s Day giving. Our website has many other sure-to-please red gifts.
