This time it was a metal snow measurer with a pine tree on the top--darling and practical! The guys who work there are quick to wrap up things and are super nice and helpful. They showed me where to find a handicapped ramp for the entrance and did not make me feel weird about using it. Everything is so cute and well made--mostly of wood and just so practical--cutting boards, furniture, towel holders, riding toys, etc. I recommend this place to anyone.

This store is off-putting and misrepresents itself. The door states that it sells a few types of…read moreitems, including antiques. There were not really any true antiques in the store except for a few old porcelain vases (that also could easily have been repros). I felt like that was a misrepresentation for sure. That aside, the store carries some good/ok products - mostly baby toys such as Mon Ami stuffies, which I have now seen in a few places. Some of the art was antique-ish, antique, or at least decent, but didn't always have obvious labels or ages (and was clearly a mix). The staff weren't particularly friendly, but there was some signage which put me off. Upon entering the store, there is a no food or drink sign (normal), but also a sign that you must hold your child's hand if under like 11 years old, which rubbed me wrong. Especially given much of the content of the store. "You break it you buy it" would be more fitting. Additionally, there were no photo or videos signs in the store. It overall felt quite aggressive and with the assumption of ill intent or impact by customers.

The Hoff and I visited here almost accidentally - we were looking for a different pottery shop, but happened upon the site for Rockport Pottery, followed a winding road for what seemed like an extended distance, only to find a sign that said the shop hours had past - but I saw the "OPEN" flag flying outside an open door to what looked like a shop near a house. So we pulled into the driveway and took a look. We didn't see anyone, but there was note that explained the process for buying pieces. I was shocked. I guess I'm not as trusting of human nature as the owners of this shop. So we did as we were told and as we finished wrapping two oil lamps, Richard came in. We got to talking, and he shared with us his feelings about pottery, why it's made, how it's sold, etc. He was clearly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his craft. But what surprised me more than his business model was his generosity when we mentioned that we had just become engaged. He insisted on giving us an engagement gift, "since I probably won't have the chance to give you a wedding gift." After asking my color preference (blue), he gave me some options. The first thing he selected was a set of four bowls (each $28 dollars) that I had been looking at but decided I couldn't afford. He was immensely kind, and it made me feel so good about our visit to Rockport Pottery and gave me all sorts of happy feelings about my engagement. That's a bit silly, of course, but Rockport Pottery is a place of good energy and good people.

Second, you could not possibly find cooler stuff anywhere else on the Midcoast. Why shouldn't everything be as beautiful (or funky or just clever) as it is useful? And do all items have to be useful? What I mean is that a person could buy a big bowl from a big store, or one could buy a big oyster bowl from Once A Tree. It may cost a bit more (not always, though) but I'd rather have a few unique, lovely things than many common, mass-produced things. If you think along the same lines, you must check out this shop.
