Most viewed - The Potter's Art, 3/30/2006

Decanter with Daisies712 viewsComplemented by the painting on the wall behind it - obviously they were hoping to sell the two as a pair.

Tile Painting710 viewsI don't know what historical scene or event this picture is intended to depict - maybe a slave market - but it was uncharacteristically risque for this shop.

Aquarium on a Vase706 viewsAquatic themes were a favorite motif for plates and vases.

Flight of Fancy701 viewsI'm not sure what sort of creatures the artist intended to represent here, but the juxtaposition of the animal and floral life was superbly executed.

And the winner is...697 viewsIt was hard to choose among so many, but I think if I had to pick a favorite dinnerware design, it wouid be this one.

I'm a little teapot, short and stout...695 viewsLooks more like a teapot now. The potter has formed the spout, and is getting ready to slap it on.

Potpourri690 viewsThis room featured a wide variety of ceramics, including the hexagonal tiles, which I saw few of elsewhere. Rather at odds with the rest of the display is the cheap-looking faux-marble Ionic column in the center, which appears to be an unfinished, ill-conceived and poorly integrated addition to the room.

Vases, Urns and Plates685 viewsI wondered at the purpose of the indentations in the large plate at the top of the display.

The Red Shelf682 viewsIn contrast to the dominant blue, this shelf featured red wares.

Vases, Bowls and Jars682 viewsAll intricately decorated with various designs.

Elegant Vase681 viewsAn intricate abstract design matching the urn in the previous picture.

Two Exceptional Plates676 viewsThese seemed to be a cut above many of the others.
