How do you display your collection?

I really collect New Zealand Studio pottery and as this little lot is mostly New Zealand Commercial pottery of days gone by -
it has a place of it's own away from the studio crowd. It's a good place to keep some old family pics too ;)

Hi EV

Good to see another kiwi has make the forum. Good spot on the Dorothy Thorpe coffee pot. I'm a great believer in using the pottery you collect so a indulgence of mine is using a ball-handled Monterray set as
tableware (only one mishap so far). The Shufflebothamesque vases are Keith Murray - I sold off a reasonable collection of hand-potted Crown Lynn when I left NZ which was a bit of a wrench so decided that collecting Keith Murray over here was the way to go.

Great to see your Crown Lynn collection .... but do I note one of the infamous ginger jars lower left?

Wow! - we don't see many Keith Murray pieces down here! John Parker adds a tribute to Keith and Ernie at his exhibitions these days :) Your keen eye noticed the Crown Lynn ginger jar! Yes I'm a believer :D Having a pottery background helped me sort out that one for myself. Can you spot the Wharetana piece?

hey Kiwis lets see your Keith Murrays here http://www.20thcenturyforum.com/british-pottery-f9/wedgwood-pottery-keith-murray-designs-t3012.htm#40312 please

what do you have above the files Kurt?

Poole plates can be displayed in very pleasing ways if you have imagination

all over the house in groups like this
However we are now talking about getting some display shelving. But that could take forever for us to agree on

the red orange and green vases look great as a group

thanks

Yes , very nice colours , the big orange scheurich really stands out well

Thanks Ed - yes it's the perfect vase for Gladioli as well. The green one at the front is a Carstens (I think), some of the very few vases I own that I can actually identify.
