A NOTE ABOUT MY POTTERY & ME....I HAVE BEEN BUYING, SELLING &
TRADING POTTERY FOR OVER 13 YEARS & I HAVE ENJOYED EVERY
MINUTE OF ITS HISTORY, BEAUTY, & RARITY. ALWAYS ENJOYED IT
WHEN A CLIENT, NEW OR OLD WOULD COME INTO MY SHOP & SPEND
THEIR TIME ADMIRING THE BEAUTY OF MY ITEMS. MOST OF THE
POTTERY JEWELRY LOVERS ALWAYS COMMENTED THAT IN THEIR
TRAVELS & SEARCHING, THEY HAD NEVER SEEN SUCH A FINE & VAST
COLLECTION & WOULD TELL ME THAT I HAD A GOOD EYE & OR WAS
VERY LUCKY. WELL IT WAS A BIT OF BOTH.

MOST OF THE HUNDREDS OF PIECES OF POTTERY ARE ABOUT GONE & I
MISS ALL OF THEM. I HAVE BEEN OUT OF CIRCULATION FOR ONE YEAR
NOW BUT MAY BE GETTING BACK INTO THAT AREA. SINCE I DON'T PLAN
ON OPENING ANOTHER STORE FRONT AT THIS TIME, I WILL BE DOING
THIS WEB SITE... BECAUSE I WANT TO CONCENTRATE ON WRITING SOME
BOOKS I HAVE BEEN PLANNING FOR YEARS.

NOTES ABOUT POTTERY SHOULD YOU NOT KNOW! MANY COMPANIES
IN THE EARLY YEARS DID NOT SIGN THEIR POTTERY, THEY USED PAPER
STICKER LABELS WITH THEIR LOGO WHICH WERE USUALLY PLACED ON
THE BOTTOM OF THE PIECE. MANY PEOPLE WASHED THEM OFF ON
PURPOSE OR BECAUSE THE PIECE NEEDED CLEANING & THE LABEL
WOULD DISAPPEAR EVENTUALLY. IF AN EARLIER PIECE IS FOUND WITH
LABEL IN TACT IT WILL BRING A PREMIUM OF 10 TO 20% ABOVE NORMAL
PRICE. COLOR, PATTERN, PRODUCTION NUMBERS, & OF COURSE
CONDITION ALL HAVE A BEARING ON THE PRICE. SO MANY PRICE
COLLECTOR BOOKS ARE OUT THERE, & EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT
PRICES. SO BASED ON YOUR KNOWLEDGE & THE TIME YOU HAVE
SPENT HUNTING FOR AN ITEM OR YOUR APPRECIATION FOR THE ITEMS
BEAUTY, YOU HAVE TO GO WITH YOU GUT FEELING & PURSE. ANOTHER
POINT. WILL YOU EVER FIND ANOTHER PIECE LIKE THE ONE YOU SEE
NOW? I WILL ADD MORE NOTES LATER. THERE IS SO MUCH INFO OUT
THERE & IN MY HEAD IT IS HARD TO RELATE IT ALL, BUT IF YOU HAVE
ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO CONTACT ME. I WILL DO
MY BEST TO ANSWER THEM. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME & THANKS FOR
LOOKING!!
