On Site with Roy Hamilton


If you are a designer, you might have seen this type of display at a Hinson showroom.  Pots and vases and cache pots en masse, all with this creamy, dreamy finish, pottery accented with a slightly darker linen pattern or faux bois or swirl.


And if you have, you know that the pieces are the work of long-revered potter Roy Hamilton.


Hamilton moved from the West Coast to NYC a few years ago and set up shop in Christopher Spitzmiller's studio.  A more talented and gracious pair could not be found. 


While Hamilton's pieces suit a neutral Neutra, he has recently added color to his creations.  Hatches and dots and swirls add swish to brilliantly executed forms.


Still with Spitzmiller, but at his own address on-line, you can find Mr. Hamilton here at Roy Hamilton Studios. dot com.

  1. Thank you for posting! I love his work and often see it at Hinson but did not know who the artist was! (and I adore C Spitzmiller as well!)!!!

  3. Mrs. Blandings, although Roy Hamilton’s pottery is beautiful work indeed, your words are so deliciously descriptive, that one is left with the effect of biting into a freshly made, dripping with honey, piece of baklava.

    You, Mrs. Blandings, are a conjurer of both visual and tactile sensations.

    Merci.
