Can't Find What Your Looking For?

1 comment

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!


Discontinued Products: Each year Burley has run sale numbers on what is selling and what is not selling that much of and cuts are made. If you are looking for something that is not posted online, please reach out via email, chat, or phone (email and chat are best), and ask if anything could be made for you. We do still have molds of some items and we can custom make products for you but this will take time for us to get done. There are only a few of us, and we are trying our best to get as many things made and fired as we can. 

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. For items that are in the online Catalog but not online to be purchased, we keep new wholesale items off the website for a year before we release it to the public. If you see something you like and would like to order directly, reach out to us via Chat, Email, or Phone and we can make an order for you! 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.

Strawberry Jars: While we used to source these and keep stock for our Wholesale side, we are no longer sourcing any outside products. We got ours from Craven Pottery down in Georgia. If you are in Ohio, Ohio Pottery Zanesville - has a large stock of Strawberry Jars if its worth the drive down!

Cement Products: We do not produce any cement products here but we do recommend Massarelli's products - they are family owned and operated and based out of New Jersey.

Basket Weave: During the past summer we had a bit of time to clean up the warehouse and dig through some old pallets of molds in the archive. We did find a complete set of the Basket weave birdbath set (top & bottom). One of our jiggerman wanted a set for himself so they are up in production and a set can be made for customers looking for one. Just reach out via chat, email, or phone and ask about a custom order. Chat and email are the best as we are not always in the main office to pick up a phone call. 

German:
Gray Marbled / 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. 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. If you are looking for Spongeware items check out Ohio Stoneware!


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 department 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. If you order 3 planters at a time, save $50!

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 were 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. 

Heaters: Birdbath heaters are great to use with our sets so you can get full year round use out of them. Our products must be taken in for the winter, if any water sits in the bowl and freezes, it will crack and break. We do not personally sell any heaters on our website but you can find them easily on Amazon. 

Dinner plates: Looking for ceramic plates, bowls and cups? Unfortunately we do not produce any of those kitchen ware products but one of our favorite lines is from Fiesta ware. If you are local in Ohio and it's worth the drive down for you - Ohio Pottery Norwich - has a huge collection of Fiesta ware in multiple bright and beautiful glazes. 

Purple & other colors: While we would love to have every color possible for our products, production of more colors is just not possible for us right now. We are making one of a kind runs of small planters in multiple different colors of glaze that we have left from Mayco. We wanted to create a good selection for wholesale of small planters in bright and fun colors. Reach out to us and ask about the alternative colors in small planters. We can send photos of what we have in stock and create personal orders for you! 

Heaven(Heavenly) Blue: A couple of years ago we started getting inconsistent results with our classic Heaven Blue glaze. This makes it very difficult to have matching sets or matching tops for those customers with existing pedestals. Our owners decided the best thing to do was to just drop the Heaven Blue and switch our blue to only Cobalt Blue. The Cobalt is a very beautiful bight blue glaze but it is very different from the Heaven Blue we used to use.  

STUMP: Stump is a company that we have partnered with to create and produce a line of planters and saucers for. The products we make for them are exclusive to them in those colors and styles. We are not able to sell those products online to our customers but you can find them at their stores around the east coast. You can reach out to them via Instagram or their website to see what stores near you have stock. 

14" + planters: While we do make a few 14" planters, our packing for online is only made to fit up to 12" so we are not able to ship 14" planters directly to customers. Those planters would only be able to be found in local garden centers who order them. Talk to your local garden center about your Burley needs and see if they can help! 

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
