Why You’ll Love It
Susan Van Tubbergen's celebrated "Of the Sea" collection transforms ordinary pottery forms into tiny coastal treasures, and this exquisite lidded ginger jar is one of her most captivating creations. Hand-thrown and sculpted under her renowned Van T Potter studio, the piece features a luminous glaze that gently fades from a rich cobalt blue through soft seafoam green, evoking the changing colors of ocean water. Around the lower half, meticulously applied miniature seashells, barnacles, and marine textures emerge. Finished with a perfectly fitted wheel-thrown lid and bearing Van Tubbergen's hand-incised "SVT" signature on the underside.
A wonderful accent for a beach house kitchen, coastal cottage, nautical library or seaside estate.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
