Mel Rice Ceramica

The Mission, Dogpatch & Potrero Hill


Barn doors on the front of Amnesia bar magically open to reveal the ultimate Mission hipster china cupboard. Mel Rice stocks these shelves with her handmade Mission housewares in earthy colors and organic shapes: generous indigo-glazed wine cups, pot-bellied cookie jars with cork stoppers and emphatically undecided 'f*** yes/f*** no' coffee mugs.

Mel also teaches pottery classes in her studio in the Outer Richmond, at 6138 Geary Blvd.
