Frog of the Day


Indonesian Pottery

This is a really nice condiment set made of ceramic pottery in Indonesia. I do not know if this came from the Tanteri or Trinadi factory.

Tanteri Ceramics and Trinadi Ceramics in Indonesia have grown from the talents of a single potter to two different family-run businesses. Using unique designs and glazes started by their father, a brother and sister started companies in the l990's. The son began Tanteri Ceramics and the daughter Trinadi Ceramics. Both carry on the artistic traditions of their father, using a beautiful soft green glaze and animal motifs. Tanteri and Trinadi now employ a large portion of the village that the brother and sister grew up in. Each piece is hand thrown or built with hand sculpted animal or plant details - delightfully different!
