Collection: Carter + Rose

Handmade Ceramics, Made in Portland with Oregon Clay

Discover Carter + Rose, a woman-owned Portland ceramic studio creating wall planters, ceramic snakes, plant accessories, magnets, pottery, and playful home décor by hand in Oregon.

Founded in 2015 by artist Anna VonRosenstiel, Carter + Rose grew from Anna’s background as an art teacher. She first began experimenting with clay so she could teach ceramics to her students, then became increasingly drawn to the material herself. Early experiments with leftover clay eventually led to the brand’s signature hanging wall planters and ceramic snakes. Carter + Rose

Today, Carter + Rose makes its signature ceramic collection in its Portland studio using Oregon clay, with pieces individually formed, painted, glazed, and finished by hand.

This isn’t factory-made décor designed to look handmade.

It’s Portland pottery with personality—made from Oregon clay, one piece at a time.

Carter + Rose FAQs: Portland Ceramics, Oregon Clay & Handmade Décor

Who founded Carter + Rose?

Carter + Rose was founded in 2015 by artist Anna VonRosenstiel. A former classroom art teacher, Anna began working with clay while developing ceramics projects for her students, and that interest eventually grew into her own studio practice and business.

Where are Carter + Rose ceramics made?

Carter + Rose makes its signature ceramic products by hand in Portland, Oregon, using Oregon clay.

What is Carter + Rose best known for?

The studio is especially known for its ceramic wall planters and playful ceramic snakes. Anna developed both ideas through experimentation with scraps of clay and a focus on simple, accessible design.

What are the wall planters made from?

The wall planters are handmade from Oregon clay. Depending on the design, they may feature leather hanging loops or wooden backings and are designed for air plants, dried flowers, or artificial greenery.

Are Carter + Rose pieces identical?

No. Because the ceramics are made by hand, subtle variations in shape, glaze, color, and finish are part of the character of each piece. Carter + Rose specifically notes this handmade variation on its ceramic designs.

Does Carter + Rose sell more than its own ceramics?

Yes. In addition to its in-house ceramic work, Carter + Rose curates plants, pottery, jewelry, candles, bath products, and gifts from other makers, many with a Portland or independent-maker focus.
