The Designs of Miranda Thomas Pottery

The Tree of Life -- constantly dividing, leafing out, and blooming -- has been a symbol of growth and enrichment in life since ancient time. Each pattern has a broken branch at the base of the tree trunk , that represents a piece of all of us we must endure and grow as part of us as we grow.

The rabbit has long been the symbol of spring, one of Miranda’s classic patterns representing prosperity, optimism, immortality and fertility. The rabbit is thought of as cunning and able to escape bad luck.

The peony, with its beautiful cup shape and intoxicating scent, has long been coveted throughout gardening history. It is considered a symbol of beauty itself and brings promise to love, marriage and fertility.  

Fish have a strong symbolic history in both eastern and western cultures. They represent good fortune, prosperity, and abundance.  

Bird 

Birds are a symbol of marriage and have always been the harbingers of new life. They carry and spread seeds and fruits and their songs fill the air with hope.
