Handmade Sustainable Stoneware Pottery for Everyday Elegance
Dodge Station Pottery has been crafting handmade functional stoneware since 1978. Our pottery is individually thrown on the wheel by master potters and designed for generations of everyday use. We combine streamlined contemporary aesthetics with traditional craftsmanship to create pieces that embody everyday elegance. Our rustic modern designs draw inspiration from nature and stylish living, offering dinnerware, bowls, serveware, vases, pitchers, bakeware, and home dcor. We believe our sustainable wares enhance gatherings, whether entertaining guests or sharing meals with family.Founded by two art-loving college students who married and established the business in Dodge County, Wisconsin, our name reflects both our location and the train station near our first home. After several moves, we settled in Westfield, Wisconsin, where we raised our family while continuing our craft. Our work celebrates handmade, homegrown living in small-town America, inspired by the natural beauty of Wisconsin's landscapes and our love for food, friends, and family.

Services
Dinnerware
Our dinnerware collection combines functionality with artistic design. Each piece is wheel-thrown stoneware with unique glaze patterns, offering plates, bowls, mugs, and serving dishes. The durable construction withstands daily use while maintaining aesthetic appeal for both casual meals and special occasions.
Bakeware
Handcrafted bakeware includes bread pans, bundt pans, and colanders. The stoneware construction distributes heat evenly for consistent baking results. Glazed surfaces resist staining and scratching while maintaining non-stick properties. Each piece combines practicality with decorative elements for kitchen-to-table versatility.
Vases
Artistic vases feature distinctive shapes and glaze combinations. The collection includes lidded vases, decorative forms, and functional designs for flower arrangements. Each piece showcases the natural variations inherent in handmade pottery, making every vase a unique statement piece for home decor.
Custom Glazes
We develop signature glazes inspired by Wisconsin landscapes. The collection includes Arbor Vitae, Castle Rock, and Williamsburg patterns that create distinctive color variations. Each glaze undergoes multiple firing stages to achieve depth and complexity, ensuring no two pieces share identical surface characteristics.
One-of-a-Kind
Specialty items like the Raku Whooping Crane and Reclining Deer Vase demonstrate advanced techniques. These collectible works combine sculptural elements with functional pottery principles. Each piece undergoes specialized firing processes to create iridescent surfaces and intricate crackle patterns that highlight the artisan's hand.
Questions
What makes your pottery sustainable?
We use locally sourced clay and energy-efficient kilns. Our durable stoneware lasts generations, reducing replacement needs. Glazes contain food-safe, non-toxic materials.
Are your products dishwasher safe?
Yes, all our stoneware is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing with mild soap preserves the glaze luster longer for decorative pieces.
Do you offer custom orders?
We accept limited custom commissions for special projects. Contact us through our website with specific requests and timelines for personalized pieces.
How do you develop unique glaze patterns?
Our proprietary glazes undergo multiple firing stages at different temperatures. This process creates iridescent effects and natural color variations that highlight each piece's handmade quality.

We welcome visitors by appointment. The studio in Westfield, Wisconsin, showcases our working space and allows direct interaction with the artisans creating your pottery.
What's the lead time for orders?
