kind words from our customers...

"Our family is made of adults, children and our beloved greyhounds. After the birth of our second daughter, Charlotte, we were fortunate enough to be given one of Karen's wonderful plates to commemorate Charlotte's arrival. It was the greyhound image and personalized. The computer pictures are nice, but the real thing made me cry--absolutely stunning!!! We of course had to have one for our other daughter Margaux. Because Karen inscribes a brief message on the back for each child, it will be a loving gift for years to come. Karen's work is beautiful and dealing with her one on one to place our order was a wonderful experience. By the end, I not only had beautiful plates, I had a wonderful FRIEND!" - Michele C., VA


"I was absolutely shocked and amazed that Karen Adler took the time to personally call me and confirm what I wanted (I had written some modification notes in the memo section on the on-line order form). After speaking with Karen I wound up ordering a specialized piece, modified from an existing product offering, and it came out terrific! It was as if Karen read my mind and made my vision a reality. I'm so excited to give the plaque I ordered as a gift. It will definitely be a keepsake for the recipient! Having had such great success with my first order, I will definitely be ordering from Branching Out again. The personalized customer service and unique products are fabulous!" - Peshie C., Washington DC


"Branching Out Pottery delivered the kind of online service you would expect if you walked into the shop: personal, friendly, and very professional. It was a true find, and helped me immensely. This was the kind of shopping experience I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone." - Howard A., TN


"I am a professional dog trainer, so dogs are a big part of my life. A year or so ago a friend and I both adopted puppies from the SPCA. The pups are the same age and share a birthday on Valentine's Day. I wanted to do something special to commemorate their first birthday, so I contacted Branching Out Pottery to inquire about having 2 custom pet dishes made. I received an immediate reply to my e mail from Karen Adler, owner of Branching Out Pottery. She was very willing to work with me and asked me to share my ideas with her. After a few emails back and forth, we came up with a design, that, thanks to Karen, was even better than what I had envisioned. I gave her the go-ahead and she made the dishes for me. They are absolutely darling!! I am so pleased with the finished product. Not only did Karen turn out a quality piece of work, but she went out of her way to help me with the design. She was friendly, prompt and professional. If you're considering having a custom pottery project made, I encourage you to contact Karen. I did, and the result was a keepsake to treasure as well as a functional dog dish! Thanks Karen." - Julie W., CA


"I am thrilled beyond words over the beauty of the 'Beloved Plate' that you made for our anniversary. The pictures on the website, while beautiful, do not adequately capture the exquisite carving and fine detail of your work. This plate is destined to become a most treasured heirloom. Thank you again and again." -- Dr. Jacqueline B., TN


"I wanted to let you know that my mom and dad's anniversary was a total success... Claire and Richard were presented with the most beautiful plate commemorating their 50 years together--my mom and I both cried when I read the inscription (to have and to hold...). She has displayed it very prominently--a beautiful, constant reminder. Karen, thank you so much for creating something so special and for the time you spent with me figuring this out. It all seemed quite above and beyond--refreshing to do business with one who can create something so personal..."-- Marta S., CA


"I am stunned and awe inspired by the beautiful plate.  As you can tell, others were most impressed by their order for Lori’s Seder plate." -- Margaret M.


"I just opened the package containing the family tree plate that you made for me! To be honest, I don't even know how to put into words how beautiful it is - and how beautiful it will be to my folks. You couldn't have done a more perfect job with this!!! Thank you so much for this!!!! I absolutely love the gold lettering - everything is more beautiful than I even expected. The pictures on your web site let you think that you know exactly what it looks like - and then when it arrives it is even BETTER than the pictures on your site. You were so easy to deal with, especially compared to the hassles involved in planning this kind of celebration. You were truly professional from beginning to end. Wish I could say that of everyone that I've dealt with in this situation. Anyway, my words can't express how grateful I am for your efforts in producing what will be a family treasure. It will give me great joy to present this gift to my folks during the celebration. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!"  -- Sheila B.


"I just wanted to tell you that I think this little duck plate is awesome. I’d been struggling with finding something to do for Greg…usually when he has something neat to announce, like his new baby, I just give him a punch in the shoulder and maybe buy him a beer. I’m all thumbs when it comes to this kind of stuff, but this plate is perfect and awesome, and exactly what is needed. Thanks!" -- Jay K., Seattle, WA


"We received your beautiful picture frame. We love it! Every time we look at it and the 'starfish' reminds us of our wedding day makes us smile." -- Heidi and Robert, NJ


"Both Ted and I would like to thank you so very much for the beautiful ceramic frame. It is a real work of art and we shall treasure it and the memories it evokes of a terrific week in St. Thomas. We are truly appreciative."  -- Bette, Boynton Beach, FL


"Thank you for the beautiful plates. We enjoyed giving them as gifts, and they were certainly well received. I’ll contact you with the quotes for the two upcoming wedding presents we would like to order."  Laurie C., NJ
