About Phil Morgan
Since being established in 1973, Phil Morgan Pottery has "turned" some of the rarest and most beautiful pottery in the world!
Located in Seagrove, "the birthplace of North Carolina traditional pottery," Phil Morgan has been making pottery for more than 30 years. His works range from beautiful utilitarian cookware to his specialty, the rare crystalline. Phil's cystalline jewels are in museums across the globe - from the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. (USA) to Europe's Wedgwood Museum. Phil and his crystalline works of art have been featured in a variety of publications including The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Orlando Sentinel; and on ABC TV's Good Morning America and CTV's Good Morning Canada.
The crystalline glazing technique is very rare. The earliest known American potter to master the process was Adelaide Alsop Robineau (1865-1929) from Syracuse, New York. Phil began exploring the technique and teaching himself how to produce crystalline on his pottery in 1973. After extensive research and four years of trial and error development, success was achieved!
Phil Morgan is arguably one of the most well known crystalline potters in the United States. His perseverance in his early years as a potter has helped to not only perfect his art, but has also helped make Seagrove, North Carolina a household name.
Phil invites everyone to come and visit him at his shop. He is joined in the business by his wife, Julia; son Phil Morgan II; and daughter-in-law, Dawn Tagawa Morgan. The Morgans love to meet and greet visitors and always stop to chat with anyone interested in their work.
