Another wonderful giveaway for one lucky All the Best Reader – The Beautiful Phoebe Vase Designed by Frances Palmer ($135 value).
Frances’ fabulous handmade pieces are deliberately asymmetrical, with quirky misaligned fluting that dramatically expresses the hand of the artist. All work is produced by the artist herself in her Connecticut studio. Special collections have been commissioned by the Philip Johnson Glass House, the Neue Galerie and the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
So what do you do for a chance to win? Simply click here and have a look at Frances’ website and then leave a comment on All the Best Blog (at the bottom of this post) telling us what you love most about Frances Palmer Pottery. It’s that simple.
The Necessary Verbiage: Contest closes on Monday, September 26, 2011. One reader will be selected at random by a third-party and announced on All the Best Blog on Tuesday, September 27, 2011. Good Luck!
Frances Palmer’s organic yet elegant pieces combine the best elements of pottery and luxuriously constructed textiles, preserving the impact of the human hand on clay while recalling the depth and pattern of a heavy brocade.
So simple and elegant yet highly detailed and crafted!
Oh my – what’s not to love! It’s all wonderful. Thank you Frances and All the Best.
Love the simplicity of the Frances Palmer vase.

I love the use of texture in Frances Palmer’s work.
Each piece of Frances Palmer pottery is a unique piece of art. The elegance of her patterns and lines elevate the look of any table.
Two things that I love… hand made by an artisan & made in the USA
Thank you for introducing me to Frances Palmer’s lovely ceramics as I wasn’t familiar with her work. Its stunning and lends itself to limitless opportunities to showcase one’s table. I’ve been inspired.
Bful pieces! Look 3x more expensive than their prices.
Doesn’t Frances’s work make you smile? I would die for a large fruit-filled pedestal on my dining room table, or a collection of small vases and bowls gracing my mantel or credenza. I think her forms and glazes are elegant, artistic, and befitting of any decor. I may be ready to take the plunge.
I love the vase. I love all the pearlware collection. I so appreciate she is a gardener! Her dalhias are simply beautiful.
I am a long time fan of Frances’ work. Her work is elegant yet still retains that artisanal feel that makes it so appealing in any environment!!

I love Francis’ pottery because they are timeless, simple and elegant. I would love to own one–or a collection!
I’m a long-time fan of Frances Palmers’ work – the wonderful imperfections show the artist’s hand and lend individuality and character. My favorites are her whimsical vases, and in particular, all the tulipieres.
I love how her work is perfectly imperfect.
The hand of the artist is evident in every piece. Pottery or porcelain, Frances Palmer pieces would grace any table, event or daily celebration of life.
I have seen a few of her elegant vases over the years. Her work is so simple, but very unique…I would cherish a piece of my own.
I was first introduced to Frances Palmer while working for Michael Smith and now I see her art everywhere! I love the simplicity and rawness of her pieces. There is something organic and natural about her pottery, but it works dressed up or down.
I love the serendipity in which each piece is created. This lovely pottery
is so versatile as well…simply splendid. Thank you!
I first saw Frances’ pottery in Garden Design Magazine and it has been on my mind ever since. I blogged about it when I first saw it on May 24, 2011. I fully appreciate the artistry of this pottery — unfortunately, it is a not a reality for a girl with my budget (me!). I would very much like to win this vase and give it to my twin sister for our birthday.
Breathtaking. Fun, whimsical and elegant all in one! Beautiful work. Thank-you

Her pottery is beautiful! So elegant and feminine. Some of the vases have a wonderful architectural quality which I love. Thank you for sharing!
I love asymmetrical shapes and that Frances’ pottery is made individually by hand.
The colors are tasteful and elegant!. The asymmetry adds a bit of whimsy to make a normally mundane object an objet d’art!
I admire her work which has that hand-made imperfect perfection.
Love to own that black water pitcher. I love pitchers for wine, water or flowers. Pouring anything from a Frances Palmer pitcher would make me smile daily. Love to win one of those vases. I would use it to hold my water for painting…or my brushes.

I love her vases best – simple and unique!
I like the rhythmic, soothing quality of Fraces’ work.
What a wonderful artist! Every piece beautiful and unique. I’m in love with that darling milk splash bowl. What a fun addition to any collection.
I love the texture of all of her pieces
I absolutely covet the vases! They remind me of a combination of vintage Redwing vases and Candlewick… with a handmade twist. I am particularly attracted to anything asymetrical. hmmm….
love the imperfection. xo
Elegant, refined,luxurious!
I love Frances Palmer! Everything she does is so perfect, timeless, perfect for today and everyday. What a fabulous giveaway.
Her pottery can be use any where…beautiful!
Ms. Palmer’s whimsical vases are amazing. In particular I love the White Queen vase, although the Humpty Dumpty and Horn vases are tempting!
I hope I can take part on this competition! I just discovered you! :o))
