A personal note from the DeafBlind Potter: When I made this vase, I wasn't trying to make something perfect. I was trying to make something honest.
As the DeafBlind Potter, I had to figure out a process I could trust. Something that allowed me to glaze the inside of the piece, making it safe to use, and still stay true to the story God was teaching me.
This vase is a reminder that you don't have to have everything perfect to keep going with God's help.
When you display this vase, my hope is simple: that you remember you can live beyond your challenges... even when life isn't perfect. It can still be just enough to keep going today.
ABOUT THE VASE:
- This is a handcrafted pottery vase.

- Interior: Food safe glazed interior (off-white glazing that flows over the rim)
- Size: 11" x 6"
- Volume: 32 ounces
- Features: Three rings carved into each vase symbolizing: Joy, Perseverance and Character.
- This is a limited run item. I will not likely ever use this style of clay again. Once it is gone, it is gone forever. This vase represented a specific season of my life and the lessons God taught me through it.

IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS VASE IS NOT MICROWAVE OR DISHWASHER SAFE. HAND WASH ONLY!
Why the Three Rings: Every hand-built DeafBlind Potter piece carries three rings — joy, perseverance, and character — drawn from Romans 5:3-4. The rings mark the journey God walked Kelvin Crosby through as a DeafBlind man, turning his hardest seasons into hope. DeafBlind Potter exists to bring that same hope to others facing suicidal thoughts and addiction, and every purchase — piece, sticker, or item of merch — helps fund this ministry.
