This place isn't even on the beach so it's not like this is about trading cost for convenience. The brands also aren't anything crazy. It's like when you go to Sam's and see the original price on whatever piece of clothing they're selling for $15, except it's still the original price! It's just outrageous numbers for the sake of it. There was no one in here except for us and the young women behind the counter didn't even bother to say hello or ask if we needed any help. They mostly chatted loudly to each other or looked at their phones. The store is incredibly crowded with racks and racks of clothing. To top it all off, they didn't even have the flip flops we came in to look for that they had last year!

My older sister has several pieces from here, as does my brother and I have been wanting to come look. I am so glad I finally made it and regret not having come sooner, but I will not make that mistake again. Set off on basically a one laned gravel road, you will pass several homes, I think this land is owned by the family, and these are all family members. I arrived on a Sunday right before they opened for the day. Their inventory seemed small, which was confirmed by the lady working, she stated that they seemed to be low on inventory. I was able to find something that I wanted quickly. Again, I am so very glad I came. I will be back!

The Mississippi Gulf Coast is renowned for its art pottery, being the home of George E. Ohr, "the…read moreMad Potter of Biloxi." Today, the most well-known art pottery comes from Shearwater Pottery in Ocean Springs, across Biloxi Bay from Biloxi. Founded by the family of local artist Walter Anderson, they continue to produce both decorative and utilitarian pieces, including what appear to replicas of designs created by Walter Anderson himself. The glazes are mostly soft earth tones and cool hues of celadon, jade, and periwinkle. Shapes tend to be simple, toeing a fine line between rusticity and modernity. Sadly, the details on many of the mass-produced figurines (the curled fish, the woodpecker-handled mug, the doves) are virtually non-existent now, likely from overuse of molds that have been worn smooth. I'm not exactly sure why Shearwater continues to produce the figurines of workers with jet black skin, bright red lips, and white eyes and teeth (these stereotypical representations would usually be referred to with a term beginning with the letter "J"), often carrying sacks of cotton or dressed as a mammy. I'm far from politically incorrect, but even I was taken aback by these ― especially in the overwhelming quantity stocked here. I'm sure there is some significant history to these figurines, but still, perhaps Shearwater might consider discontinuing this line. The items are not cheap: A coffee mug will cost $20-$22. Small vases are $48-$60. A hand-painted replica vase in a Walter Anderson design? That will be $700. There are a few unique pieces tucked in here and there that one really must keep an eye out for, like the two-tone horse figurine decorated in an Ancient Greek-inspired motif for less than $30. Perhaps most importantly, Shearwater Pottery's showroom is still pretty much the only place to buy their product: They're entirely Luddite, writing up receipts with pen and paper. Don't expect to make purchases via internet from Shearwater; the showroom is pretty much the only way to get their products. Whether or not Shearwater Pottery's product is worth the price is entirely subjective: I have seen some art pottery in the Biloxi area for comparatively "better" prices, and some for what I would consider much more ridiculous prices, too. (My parents thought the $50 I spent on an eight-inch decorative owl I gave them was pretty insane.) As far as the yankees and West Coasters go, Shearwater Pottery does have a combination of time-worn pedigree, artistic connection, and relative obscurity that should give their wares proper snob appeal. If one can overlook the profusion of racially insensitive ceramics, it's worth considering a visit to Shearwater Pottery on any visit to the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

This is a must see if you find yourself in Ocean Springs…read more There are a few things you should know about me when you read my reviews. Without knowledge of who I am, and what I like, you may not understand why I like what I like. You also won't know if you should discount my reviews as the ramblings of a self-centered lunatic, or if you should maybe give them some weight when making a decision. So I preface this review by dropping some knowledge about me that may help you. I love folk art, funky art, and art created by folks influenced by the MS Gulf Coast. I don't know if I would describe Walter Anderson's stuff as folk art or funky art, but he was most definitely influenced by this area that I happen to love. It's not what I would describe as fancy pants or highfalutin, but it is most definitely my kind of art. Realizations is chock full of Walter Anderson originals. There are books of prints, postcards, clothing, bookmarks, large scale prints, and everything else you can think of. Pieces range from a few dollars for a card or bookmark to more expensive for some of the lager pieces. On my most recent trip I picked up some bookmarks for myself and to give as a gift (I'm a classy dude). I suspect there will be several more trips in my future as well. You made it this far? Nice! Now get your butt to this shop.
