My household is *big* fans of this man's work.  We've been drinking out of 
his work for much longer than I've been involved with Regia.  His Pennsic 
merchant incarnation is the establishment called "Feat of Clay."

He works in stoneware, and often with modern-looking glazes, but recently 
his pots have taken on a much more Regia-period look.  This year he had 
Tating ware jug analogues (decorated with white slip instead of the period 
applied tin foils, but they look very nice) and some of those little 
globular cups with the thumb rest on the top.  Been looking for those for 
*years*, so I bought four, to match the jug! ;>
