So it’s now DAY TWO of my TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS POTTERY SALE featuring twelve oil lamps.


All of the oil lamps are functional just by adding some smoke-free oil… and they would make a perfect holiday gift for friends, family or even yourself! Each oil lamp is approximately 4″ tall. And the beauty of oil lamps… the wick should last forever. You’ll be burning the oil off the wick, and NOT the wick itself. And once you set the height of the flame, it will stay like that forever.. and not get long & sooty like a candle flame does. And oh, but wax there’s more… no wax on the table!!!

Just click HERE to see the “official” Facebook Photo Album and if you see an oil lamp you want, be the first person to put a Comment of “MINE” in the Comments section of the oil lamp you want! I will then follow-up with a confirmation & a Facebook Message with further details. It’s that easy!!!

Each of the twelve days will feature a different “category” with twelve new pieces up for sale first-come, first-serve only on my Facebook page… with a very SPECIAL event on Day Twelve!!!

So start shopping on my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook page… be the first to claim your oil lamp… and then come back each day for a different pottery selection. And a very special event on Day Twelve. Good luck… and Happy Holidays a bit early!!!

At the end of each of the “12 days”… any unclaimed pottery will be added to My Online Pottery Store here on my website… so you can still shop, even if it’s on the “wrong day” of this pottery sale!!! Happy gift-giving!!!

And remember, it’s only twelve pieces per day – and when they’re gone, they’re gone!!! Don’t miss out.
