Made in the tradition of English character mugs, my wheel thrown porcelain FaceVases and mugs can be the start of a modern collection or an addition to your current favorites. Each is approximately 4"-5" tall and prices range from $75 - $85.
While many FaceVase's are created as a character from history, most often customers order personalized FaceVase's or mugs made in their own image or give one as a special gift. Carter Seaton's FaceVase, etc. offers unique gifts for all occasions. For the person on your gift list who has everything, consider a mug, vase, figurine, beer stein or wine cork portrait. Hand crafted from porcelain or stoneware clay, this special art form brings to life the very image of the subject. Each item is specially crafted from photographs you send to the artist. Using these as a model, Carter transforms wet clay into a custom gift that will last a lifetime. Each FaceVase is a unique work of art which we hope will bring you joy for years to come.
When ordering please send as many views, with the same expression, as possible. I need photographs with both front and side views; however, I also reserve the right to request additional shots. Photographs should be from a distance of not more than 2-3 feet. Please indicate the eye color as well, as photographs are often unclear. Photos will be returned. Shipping and handling is added. Allow 2-3 months for most special orders. Sorry, personalized and custom orders are not returnable. Click here to order.
Dear Carter,
I can't believe how great my Vase Face looks, although my head
looks a little flat! I was planning on keeping my marbles in the vase,
but I lost them. Guess I'll find some rocks instead. Seriously Carter,
I really love it! Let's think of a way to mass produce it - every American
should have one for the next election. Regards, Paulsen
