Decorative Arts Trust was glad to have bought several pieces of local pottery for the museum several years ago, including the blue Nonconnah teapot in the exhibition; we hope some other significant pieces will follow for a whole collection of historic locally made items being donated to the Brooks. More on that to come.John J.

I was inspired by that gorgeous turquoise glaze, his slip-painting, and even though I don't/won't go into crystaline glazes, their cascading nature works well with the surface design on my own work. I drew as much as I listened. It was good design food.bridgmanpotteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10552084024770335560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4390485471778959088.post-55807711906393739542011-09-20T13:59:22.717-05:002011-09-20T13:59:22.717-05:00Courtney, I knew that you, in particular, would ap...Courtney, I knew that you, in particular, would appreciate this pottery. The second vase has the most beautiful glaze, probably in the whole show; I am sorry that this image from the museum's publicity does not do it justice.John J.
