Mid Century Ceramics Lost and Found


As you sift through all your shit from years and years of collecting you’re often surprised by the finds in your own home that were forgotten. It's like going out looking for a day finding nothing, but, it was there all along under your nose. You just don't find items like these at a regular shop, home or flea market. They are gobbled up by someone trying to make quick money on Ebay who has no idea of collecting or real value. The bring it home and look it up and then price it like it was the most incredible piece ever. For me it was the experiences which these pieces bring back which warms my thoughts. I am not collecting to hoard or keep and never sell. It is my intention to pass it down or sell for the need of my children's higher education. I don't have to have these items, it's not a passion except in the surrounding of me understanding and researching the items as a lover of Vintage items and the world they came from. From these findings I add to my knowledge and carefully shape my world. I am not as careful as I should be no doubt. This is why the books which I own are my real passion. These vintage art and decoration books or even newer books with the decorative arts throughout them add to my thirst for knowledge. On a beautiful sunny day and share these with you.
