favorite piece

Post by dantheman on Sat Jul 09, 2011 9:53 pm

Things are quiet here this weekend so here's a little game that we can all play.

Imagine your home is on fire and you can only save one piece of pottery,which one would it be?

for me the choice would be simple

for me, no question that it would be the Unicorn, although I'd be heartbroken to leave the enamelled jug behind

Happy A BEKO fridge, or careless smoking!

That's how they usually start. Snooty

In terms of Studio Pottery, I think this is my current favourite item.

Most of my collection is packed safely away in a brick built shed away from the house so it would be safe, but I would grab this piece from the house.

So what is it about people that means I (and Dan for that matter) am able to put myself in a situation where I can only take one thing and name it, yet others can't make that decision even though it's theoretical?
Human nature is strange.
also Dan....... I lied. Big Laughter

looks like a Wally Keeler mark...


Yeah, I'm 99% sure it's Walter Keeler, but I liked it that much before I knew who it was made by Excellent

I don't usually like to bother potters, because I hope there making more nice pots Excellent

seen a jug very much like this listed as a early WK item, and the mark fits, so it's enough for me to belive it is by him :)

Thanks for the info tho, good to know the maker of my fav mug is a nice chap.
