What Makes It Uncommon

From serving up a sizzling skillet to showing off your snack spread, Kerry Brooks' fruity beauties bring handmade charm to the table. She crafts each trivet from ceramic stoneware with a glossy crackled glass finish—shaped like your favorite fruits, they're also rich in symbolism. Use them under hot dishes or as a delightful serving board that starts as many conversations as your party menu.

Hand-painted fruit shapes, each with its own special meaning:

Pineapple symbolizes hospitality and warm welcomes.
Tomato represents love and fresh beginnings.
Avocado stands for health and abundance.

Each one-of-a-kind piece will vary slightly in size; approximately 11"L x 6"W.
Handmade in Minnesota.

About the Maker

Minnesota

Potter Kerry Brooks was heading towards a PhD in American Cultures from the University of Michigan before she decided to move to Ann Arbor and train in ceramics instead, from 1988 to 1992. The next year, she moved to Minneapolis, and co-founded a four-person pottery collective the year after that. The other three potters eventually moved on, so she's run the business herself for the last 15 years. As an employer (currently of 45 people) and gallery host, she has influenced the next generation of Minnesota clay artists, and many of her employees are artists in their own right. Pottery remains Kerry's passion, but she loves to travel and sing when she's not running her business, doing philanthropic work, or raising her daughter.
