Pillin Pottery, founded by husband-and-wife team Polia and William Pillin in Los Angeles in the late 1940s, is renowned for its whimsical, hand-painted designs and distinctive artistic style. Each piece of Pillin Pottery is a unique work of art, hand-thrown by William and decorated by Polia, whose expressive imagery of abstract figures, animals, and nature scenes became their signature. The pottery's hallmark is its soft, muted glazes, which create an ethereal backdrop for Polia's detailed, dreamlike illustrations. Vases, bowls, and decorative pieces often feature vibrant yet delicate depictions of horses, women, or pastoral scenes, reflecting a blend of modernist and surrealist influences.
