Hi Hazel

the long spouty thing is a ceramic watering can, form & decor by Kristiane Werner, ceramic by KMK Kupfermuhle Keramik of Hohenlockstedt (their factory as about 6 clicks from here), it is decor Mephisto.

I have enough data on KMK to write another book

Hazel, i cleared my garage out now i need another 5000 pots to fill it up Twisted Evil

hazedaze Sun Oct 12, 2008 8:10 pm

Those colours (please don't ask me to repeat those long unpronounceable - to me - words ) LOL.... are stunning. So eyecatchingly different!

How DO you cope with all that 'dusting' and cleaning of all those treasures? 500 more pots.....That's just 50 or less soujournes to garage sales:-) Easy peasy! Then you need a bigger house!!!

Sorry for the delay in any replies, but I'm not the best at 'driving' just yet still (as Jo will tell you) as I keep losing postings etc.!!! There's hope for me yet! Sad eh! Embarassed

OOps. You said 50000, (dropped a 0)....Make that 500 garage sales or less booboo

I'd offer a choc fish prize for the first to guess but I'm on a diet ... Razz

Looks like an Aztec whistle. Do I get the fish? lol!

**collectiques** Tue Oct 14, 2008 5:48 pm

No fish ...I'm on a diet Razz

It looks like what was called a 'weed pot' to me.....

I'm more interested in who made it though....
as the style looks very familiar.

ps.... no issues with access here.

**TimCaulton** Tue Oct 14, 2008 6:19 pm

Looks like the Len Castle pot coming up at Cordys

**collectiques** Tue Oct 14, 2008 6:34 pm

Now this is what I found one day last week...rather exceptional that I stumbled across anything during the school holidays....there must be a God!

NO chocolate fish in this one either...its nearly summer! Razz

**TimCaulton** Tue Oct 14, 2008 11:52 pm

There are 2 in the first LC book under the heading "Hand Modelled Textured Forms" and its just called a vase, its stoneware with an ochre or umber pigment.

**TimCaulton** Wed Oct 15, 2008 12:01 am

Some of the vases are call grass pots or something....never owned one so not too sure.

**collectiques** Wed Oct 15, 2008 12:07 am
