Finley Pottery

18 POINT STAR TALL PLANT

We, Bill and Maggie, would like to welcome you to our home page We are potters who live and make our pottery in a small town, Mico, in the Texas Hill Country, just west of San Antonio. We specialize in making candle holders or luminaries which we form on the potter's wheel and hand carve with intricate designs which cast beautiful shadows on your walls and ceiling. We would like to show you some of our work, answer some of the common questions people have asked us at shows, and tell you a little about our small town of Mico.

GALLERY

The Gallery is where you will find pictures and information about the pottery that we make.
