02

Released in drops

New pieces land a few times a year. Drop-alert subscribers and TikTok followers hear first.

03

Packed with care

Most orders are packed the same day and ship the next by USPS, within 4 days at most.

From the studio

Where all your dreams are handmade.

Everything in The Hidden Hollow is made by Molly in Arizona's Verde Valley: one pair of hands, with a lot of love and attention to detail. Nothing is factory-made, and nothing is repeated.

Every piece carries the small fingerprints of how it was made: a wobble in a line, a pool of glaze, a slightly different smile. We think that's the best part.

Still to add: a studio photo and Molly's story behind "The Hidden Hollow."

Our story

Draft written only from what's on the current site. The owner should replace the bracketed parts with her own words and add a studio photo.

The Hidden Hollow is a tiny pottery studio where every piece is made by hand, one at a time.

Molly started The Hidden Hollow in Arizona's Verde Valley to make the kind of pottery that makes people smile: jars with faces, bells with personality, snails that look like they wandered in from the garden.

Every piece is hand-built and hand-painted with custom glazes. Because it's made by hand rather than in a factory, each one has small variations in shape, size and glaze. Those aren't flaws. They're the fingerprints that make your piece yours alone.

Why drops?

Making things by hand takes time. Rather than restocking the same items, new pieces are released in small drops a few times a year. Follow along on TikTok or join the drop-alert list to see them first.

Shipping & returns

Shipping

We ship within the United States by USPS. International shipping isn't available.
Shipping is calculated by weight at checkout.
Free shipping on orders over $300.
Most orders are packed the same day and shipped the next. Please allow up to 4 days of handling time. If anything delays your order, you'll hear from us quickly.
Once your order is with USPS, delivery times are up to them.

Returns

Because every piece is handmade and one of a kind, all sales are final. Exceptions may be made case by case at the owner's discretion.

If a refund or exchange is approved, the piece must be sent back as close to its original condition as possible, as soon as possible. Return shipping is paid by the customer, and refunds are issued once the piece arrives back at the studio.

Recommend adding: what to do if a piece arrives broken (e.g. photo within 48 hours), and offering shipping insurance at checkout.

About handmade variation

Each piece may look slightly different from its photos. Small variations in shape, size, color and texture are a natural part of the clay and firing process.

Home / FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the piece in the photo the one I'll get?

Yes. Each listing is a single, one-of-a-kind piece, so you're buying the exact piece pictured.

Will you make another one?

No piece is ever exactly repeated. Similar characters sometimes appear in future drops, so join drop alerts or follow @thehiddenhollow on TikTok to catch them.

When is the next drop?

New pieces are added a few times a year. Drop-alert subscribers hear first.

Can wind bells hang outside?

The wind bells are made for indoor or outdoor display.

Owner to confirm: freeze/winter guidance and recommended hanging.

Are mugs and bowls food-safe? Dishwasher-safe?

Yes, both! Our mugs and bowls are food-safe and dishwasher-safe.

What does "Cracked but Capable" mean?

These are pieces that got a little too much love from the kiln: a minor crack or flaw, fully described in the listing, at a lower price.

What payment methods do you take?

All major cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, JCB), Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Cash App Pay is available on Square today. Shopify supports Shop Pay and PayPal instead.

Do you ship internationally?

Not at this time. US shipping only.

Thank you! ✿
