Sheepscot River Pottery

34 Rte. 1

Edgecomb , ME , United States http://www.sheepscot.com/

(207) 882-9410

Near Wiscasset on coastal Route 1, this homey ceramics studio/shop is a great choice for one-of-a-kind Maine souvenirs: plates, bowls, pitchers, vases, even sinks painted with lighthouses, blueberries, and sea life. As cutesy as they sound, each piece—which is thrown by hand or molded from English clay—is remarkably charming, not to mention useful.

Insider Tip: Although the shop is open seven days a week, it’s best to call ahead for a schedule if you want to see the potters in action.
