As my wife @Oira hates promoting herself and would rather give up selling her art than tell people about it, I'll do it for her:
Her ceramics are sometimes beautiful, sometimes macabre, and sometimes both. They're often useful and always handcrafted with love and skill. You can find a selection of her art on etsy:

If you want to make an artist's day or find something perfect for Christmas, take a look to see if there's something for you.
A cup in the shape of a head in a medieval helmet. The glaze looks metallic.
A Christmas tree decoration in the shape of a mermaid.
And mostly unglazed clay pot hanging on some threads. The surface is ruff, reminding of sandstone. It depicts a elf's head, wearing a crown. The neck is severed and red beads, looking like blood, are hanging from it.
An mostly unglazed clay mask hanging on a wall. It depicts a woman's head with some fin like ears and snakes as hair. The heads of the snakes are glazed green and decorated with gold.
