"With six months of snow and cold, the brightly colored Gladding, McBean planters become our winter architecture. We had looked for 15 years to find a product line with colors that could withstand our harsh Midwestern winters. We evaluated many products that we liked, but none were durable enough. We have sold Gladding, McBean for 8 years and have experienced zero problems."

'[I] wanted to mention to you how thrilled I was with the 88-33 large oil jars that I picked up on my last visit. I know that Turquoise can sometimes be an unpredictable color and my customer was informed of that at the time of ordering, but they came out beautifully and a perfect match, which has added greatly to the entryway of her home in Tiburon. I truly appreciate the extra mile to which you and your crew went to get a matching pair for my customer. Several of my customers buy [Gladding, McBean pottery] because they remember that Gladding, McBean pots graced the gardens and estates of their families and friends from their childhood and they are thrilled to find that they are still able to buy those wonderful pieces for their own gardens. They do not want the imports. They want it because it is from Gladding, McBean and has a long history behind it.'
