Do not underestimate your collection Bernardo. Its just when you look, there is quite a lot of studio pottery around that is very nice. But it is just not by the potters who are collected. That field is very narrow. Its exactly like art, but a lot smaller There are millions of very good amatuer painters whose work is very attractive. But only a relatively  small cadre of painters whose wotrk is valuable.

            The V&A have very recently published a new catalogue of their studio pottery collection. STUDIO CERAMICS by Alun Graves published by Thames and Hudson.Its a beautiful hefty  book. The cheapest place to buy it is probably Ebay.
          Or an even posher place is Contemorary Applied Arts in Marylebone.

             The best place to see a bang up to date collection of the best work is the Craft Potters Association. They have a wonderful shop in Russell Street bang opposite the British Museum. Called Contemporary Ceramics.
