After moving our site in house we are starting to see more of what are customers are looking for. We know that we cant have everything on our site but we would like to offer helpful recommendations for the things our customers are looking for.
We will keep this updated as new search terms come in!
New Products: We have always tried to release new beautiful designs or glazes each year but the last year or so has been difficult. Due to low staff, its been harder and harder to get our normal line of products made let alone introduce anything new. For now, anything new that we can offer will most likely be Online Only options and not offered to our Wholesale customers. Keep an eye on the website for new made to order items, some out now and some to come!
Terra Cotta: Terra Cotta items such as - Standard Pots, Azalea pots, saucers, window boxes, orchid pots, sleeve pots, etc. - are extremely fragile and we are unable to ship them directly to our online customers. These items can be found just about everywhere however, and a lot of our wholesale customers source their terra cotta items from us. Reach out to your local garden centers and talk to them about your terra cotta needs.
German: Gray / Granit clay (basalt) items are sourced from Germany and much like red Terra cotta - is too fragile to ship. Due to shipping delays and production hiccups from Spang, we have decided to not stock the German ware until supply issues have been solved. This means that our wholesale customers will not be able to get those products from us and have to look elsewhere to supply them. There is another company, Deroma that has Gray and Granit items, try reaching out to them or talk with your local garden center about Deroma products.
Crocks: Burley has made pickling or fermentation crocks for a long time but we did make the decision in 2020 to stop producing them. But don't be too disappointed! The next best place to find crocks, bowls, serving plates, and other types of kitchen ware is at Ohio Stoneware! Check out their website for all your crock needs! If you are sort of local or want to take a drive over to Zanesville - check out Heartstone Pottery - they also do crocks, bowls, and plates.
Just Sayings: Our Just saying pots - or as one wonderful older woman at a garden center convention called them "mouthy pots" (fantastic name) are usually just ordered from our wholesale customers since there are close to 200 different item numbers but if demand for them increases online, we could add an option for them on our site. We can do custom sayings or designs as well, you would just need to collaborate with our design person on a project. If you are interested in a Saying pot - reach out via contact form or call us and we can put in a custom order for you! The cost for a Saying pot shipped out directly to you would be $48.99.
Replacement Bowls: If you are looking for a replacement "bowl", results may not come up as they are labeled replacement "tops". To find replacement tops, simply click on Products -> Replacement Parts -> Tops Only. If you are unsure which top you need for your existing pedestal, feel free to reach out to us via the chat below, email, phone, or social links. We can confirm which top would work best for your pedestal and help you place the order. Not all of our tops will work for other pedestals not manufactured by us, but we will try our best to find you a top that will work perfectly for you.
Repair: There is not much you can do to to fix our pottery once its broken - its something about the texture of our clay that doesn't work very well with glues and epoxies. There might be one out there that does work but we have not been told about it yet. We do recommend FlexSeal Clear for our customers who have hairline cracks and want to fix the top.
Beehive: These adorable garden accessories are no longer in production, a few years back our owners wanted to cut items that were "one sized" to speed up palletizing orders and the Bee Skep was one of those items. However, we were lucky enough a few years later to be able to bring back not only the Skep but the Garden Bee Birdbath as well. Both can be found on our shop now!
Monogram: Our Bookplate Planters have been called monogram pots, initial planters, or letter pots but they are all the same great planter perfect for gifts and the home. After almost 7 years of not producing these, we got permission to bring them back for Online Only customers! We found the molds hidden in the back of the warehouse and were told that as long as it did not interfere with the production schedule, we could offer them again for customers. We still have stock of some letters in Blue and Green still left, but are now taking orders for letters that have been out of stock for years. These planters are fully customizable and able to be painted any color to match what you need.
Saucer: We used to make saucers for all of our planters but as the years have come and gone, we have lost more and more employees and now can no longer produce as much ware as years before. Because of the shortage, we have had to make cuts to the line for items that we just cant get made, Saucers being top of the list. Most of our saucers were rammed and not jiggered, and now getting a Ram dye made is next to impossible. We still have some stock of saucers in various colors (most not matching what planters we have left) but if you wanted a nice sturdy saucer for a planter, we probably have the size to match but not the color. If you are interested in any Saucers, please reach out to us via Chat, email, or socials.
As more people search for products, we will add to this list to keep things updated for our customers. We will not be able to include every search term on this list as some of them we do not have the information to give or help with.

I recently found a large ashtray with a bird bath on top in the middle. It says on bottom, Burley Clay Products South Zanesville O. I had never seen this before. My grandfather worked there in the So. Zanesville plant
