Athena in Onyx

Product Description

Athena in Onyx is now available.
It’s no secret the mediterranean has stolen my heart and I am recreating some of its magic.
Athena – the goddess of wisdom, war, and the crafts. Perhaps one of the most recognizable of the Greek Goddesses, Athena is the symbol of wisdom, courage, and was the patroness of the great city of Athens.

This high gloss black glaze is beautifully contrasted by the vibrancy of the 22carat gold luster. This range is being produced in very small quantities so if you see one you love grab it.
I love the textures and appearance of torn clay, creating an illusion of the ruins left behind for us to explore today…

Please note that as much as I love fancy packaging, branded boxes & wonderful first impressions…
I’m trying to help our environment.
I am a culprit of the harm we are all causing to our planet & I’m actively taking steps to rectify this.

I will be reusing boxes,
I will be reusing bubble wrap and I will be conscious of XoXoPottery’s carbon footprint.
Please know that my pieces are made with a great deal of love, care and attention to detail.
I package and box all pieces myself ensuring their safe arrival.

So, to all my customers and followers please know that as much as I pride myself in brand awareness and beautiful packaging..
I am recycling used boxes, bubble wrap and polystyrene chips. Your box might not be brand new when it arrives at your door, your bubble wrap might not be straight off the roll but I assure you once you’ve unpacked and displayed your XoXoPottery piece you will not remember the box.

It would also mean a lot to me if you to reuse and recycle the box and it’s contents.

There’s still a lot of this world I’d like to see, experience and explore so I’d like to do my part in caring for its future.

What we do on a daily basis matters.
How we live matters.
Our behavior is accountable.
Much love
