The colors are amazing, and their pieces come in many shapes and sizes. The prices vary and there are a number of items that are very reasonable.
The owner, manager, and stuff are super friendly but don't follow you around, and they are able to answer any questions.

Update: I went to Black Mountain on a trip and purchased a lovely mug from here! Unfortunately when I returned home, I noticed that my mug had a long, hairline crack that tea was seeping through. I reached out to them and they were so kind that they sent me a replacement mug.
Truly, a lovely store with great people! I will definitely be stopping back...
