I will then calculate the postage and invoice you. You will be liable for any customs and import taxes and charges payable upon delivery.  I am not responsible for delays due to customs.

To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information, such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering.

if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services.

Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.

Frequently asked questions 

The item I want is 'sold out'.  Will you be making any more?

Please use the contact form to get in touch.  I will let you know when it will next be available or we can discuss a custom order for you.

How long will a custom order take to make?

This depends entirely on your request, the size of the item, and the number you would like. I will always give as accurate an estimate as possible and will try to send your item out to you as quickly as possible. 

Can I cancel my order?

An order cannot be cancelled once it has been dispatched.  
Custom orders cannot be cancelled once work on the order has commenced.

I have an additional question about an item

I have tried to ensure that all my photography is as clear and accurate as possible but please feel free to ask me any extra questions about an item directly, no matter how small.

Ceramics and its Care

All pottery from Made by Powley is handmade and not mass-produced in a factory so each piece is unique and slight imperfections or markings of the process may be present. This is evidence that the pieces are made by hand and not by machine or with molds.  These will not affect the aesthetics, function or life of the item and most likely it will add to its charm!

All of my pottery is food-safe as well as microwave and dishwasher safe, but they are not designed for oven cooking. 

If the pottery is filled with liquid (such as a vase or plant pot, etc.), please place on a coaster to protect wood surfaces. This is required for both handmade and factory-produced ceramics.

All my work is high quality stoneware which makes it both hard wearing and long lasting. With care they could last hundreds or thousands of years!

Be kind to your ceramics and they will give you years of joy!
