About

This website (as of 2024) is not regularly updated with new articles on different ceramic designs and makers. However there are over 300 articles to be read on this site, with information on designs, makers and potters which are still updated with new information and or photographs as they come to hand.

There are a few articles which appear to be blank – these were previously paywalled articles with unique information – these are being collated into e-book form for sale in the future.

ABOUT:

The site consists of histories, stories and information about selected Vintage & Mid 20th Century Ceramics – mainly from Denmark, Scandinavia, U.K. & Australia, New Zealand.

My areas of interest include many of the major commercial brands and well known studio potters, but Im also fascinated by the smaller producers and potters who were often unrecognised during their lifetime. I think it is especially important that the stories of lesser known potters and potteries is documented before being lost to time and history.

I also believe that well designed commercial pottery and dinnerware is as equally important culturally and sociologically as studio pottery – and they each have their role and purpose and place in our society.

I do not do valuations, identifications of unknown makers, or estimated values of items and will not respond to queries asking for these. Try your local auction house, or have a look at Etsy, Ebay etc and you should be able to get a good idea of values there, and this is a good starting point to identify items as well.

Anything else you can use the contact me via my store linked in the right hand column (clicking will take you to my Etsy store)

Thanks for reading,
