The plump and juicy, dark reddish-purple Saskatoon Berry is indigeous to the expansive meadows, woodlands and rolling hills of western Canada.

The Saskatoon Berry bush begins to blossom in May and by the end of June to the end of July is ready for picking.

Summer on the Canadian prairies just wouldn't be the same without at least one taste of steaming-hot, oven fresh Saskatoon Berry pie, or melt in your mouth tea biscuits and scones topped with fresh farm butter and real Saskatoon Berry jam. How about hot cakes covered with Saskatoon berry syrup and a decadent helping of freshly whipped cream, served of course on Saskatoon Berry© pottery?

Ron and Rusty Kurenda designed the orignal Saskatoon Berry© pottery line in 1993 and have owned and operated Prairie Pottery in downtown Saskatoon, since February of 1974.

Ron carefully handcrafts each pot on the potters' wheel or slab roller. Rusty then glazes and handpaints each Saskatoon Berry and leaf on every piece. Even the glaze is one the Kurendas have specially formulated to accommodate the stains used to create the Saskatoon Berry© design, keeping the colors rich and true. The result is a unique, strong and beautiful creation. Each piece is an original, totally handcrafted work of art, a joy to own, a pleasure to use. Each is oven safe, micro-wave and dishwasher safe and completely lead free.

It is with joy that Ron and Rusty create these pieces to grace the homes of people from all over the world. Look for the Kurenda name on the bottom of each piece, as an assurance that it is the original Saskatoon Berry© pottery designed by Ron and Rusty Kurenda of Prairie Pottery.
