Olson mugs are just the best, that's all. The glazing is beautiful. They're strong but very lightweight for stoneware, because of the skill of the artist. They hold a nice large pour, so you don't need a refill right away. The handles are perfectly shaped for comfort in the hand, and are placed well so they never feel top-heavy when full. In short, my idea of heaven is to be curled up by a warm fire in the winter, with a good book, and an Olson mug full of hot tea.

I started collecting Greg's pottery since the late 80's. Back then I couldn't afford to buy everything at once..lol but I decided everytime I went salmon fishing I would stop at Olsen Pottery. Today I have a 12 piece dinner set, vases, pie pans, coffee mugs and so much more. The quality is excellent and something that's hard to find these days. I'll be stopping by in a few weeks to see what's new in his shop. Greg has also done custom orders for me as well. Stop by on your way through Weaverville. This place is a hidden ?

I have lost track of time but I would guess that our family has been been buying from Olson’s for nearly 15 years. It started as an annual gift from my grandma to my parents and has since spread into my household. We have had many custom pieces made and all of them have turned out better than expected.Someone commented that these are high priced but high quality. My comment to that is that price is irrelevant when buying quality products! We are not gentle with our products and the only piece that has broken is my wife’s beloved “mom” coffee mug. We are on the third rendition now due to young flailing child hands :).Highly recommend Olson’s and will definitely be buying more throughout the years.

It has been my dream to have a full set of dishes from Olsen’s since I was a child. I recently made that dream happen. I am in love with my dishes. Each piece is unique and beautifully hand crafted.

Where do I start to express my love of this beautiful, artistically created stoneware... 1. Quality: I've owned Olsen Stoneware for years and so has my family. Every piece I've owned holds up to everyday life (and I have children!) They hold up in the dishwasher, microwave and have even survived a fall or two. 2. Unique design: I will forever buy original pieces from Olsen's rather than factory made stuff from China. It completes the look of my kitchen! 3. Customer service: I always love cruising in the store in Weaverville when I'm in town visiting family. The staff is always very helpful and friendly. I even had a personalized mug made for my boss, and Mr. Olsen himself called me to before creating the mug to make sure it was all accurate! Olsen Stoneware, don't stop what you're doing! You create the most beautiful, quality pottery I've found! Thank you so much

We own many of the available prices from Olsons. There all Beautiful handcrafted life long works of art worthy of passing down from generation to generation. Working with the Olson family and their staff is also always a treat down to earth they love their customers and are so willing to serve and be creative with unique projects... like a 10 year anniversary gift. For me that was a set of mugs with the names of every member of our household that all hanging on a rack in our kitchen to remind us that we’re all family life is full and we’re all together. Thank you Greg and family.

Cool little store with locally made pieces. The staff was friendly, and I was happy to see that the stoneware is actually made locally, and not just bought like so many other boutique/gift stores do.

I am always on the look out for interesting gift ideas.....what is better for my sister (who owns a little private plane) than an airplane cookie cutter. She loved it! Several unusual shapes available....even purchased a couple for myself. I believe they were priced at 3 for $11.

So much to browse! Prices are high, but the products seem to be of a high quality as well. A great place to get a one of a kind gift or souvenir. The selection of kids games and books is very good, and had a lot of unique things that I haven't seen elsewhere. The history of the place is interesting too. Plan to take your time to take in all the products in their relatively small space.

Always fun to visit this shop in Weaverville. Many of my relatives have admired our mugs and have asked for them as gifts. I find many wedding and birthday gifts here, as the bowls and covered baking dishes are heirloom quality.
