Dover Pottery (established in 1983) is located on a scenic farm in the historic Westmoore Community just 8 miles southeast of downtown Seagrove. Dover Pottery specializes in a number of different ceramic techniques including free hand painted maiolica, and hand turned zinc silicate crystalline vases. This family run business was the 14th shop to open in an area that now boasts over 90 pottery shops. Dover Pottery is featured in Fara Shimbo's new book "Crystal Glazes". In addition Dover Pottery has been featured in "Studio Potter Magazine", "National Geographic Traveler Magazine", and PBS television's "North Carolina Weekend". The Dover Pottery documentary video, by Irish video documentarian Jim Sharkey, was awarded the creative excellence award at the International Film and Video Festival in Long Beach California. Make sure your visit to the Seagrove area includes the beautiful scenic farm, family run charm, and ceramic excellence of Dover Pottery.
