  From the archives...Nothing like some quality #kitsch vases 😊#australianpottery by Kalmar c #1950s with #lustre finish

  The intense stunning blue pattern of #arabiafinland Faenza - 1973-1979. The functional, clean lined forms (The EH Series) were designed by #peterwinquist
& decoration/design is by Inkeri Seppälä (better known as #inkerileivo )

  Love these #midcentury #royalcopenhagen lidded vessesls. This one is a design by #karichristensen from #nilsthorsson ‘s Tenera series #1960s

  Not quite in the theme of #lilac, i had intended, but how amazing is this #southpacific design in #violet, from #royalalbert UK c1950s, from my archives.

  #laholmkeramik #sweden 1960s. after the previous post ive been searching my archives too see how often #lilac, or #mauve shows up as a glaze colour... at least in part....and use it as a theme for a while.... not often used though - but will post/repost those i find

  #jessietait 1960 #midwinterpottery. ‘Whispering Grass’ . A #lilac coloured dinnerware service ....what a fantastic #colour and #pattern combination. The drawing of the grass is sublime 😍 #midcenturymodern #bestofbritish #vintageceramics #c20ceramics

  I have decided to focus more on my #photography this year and have just started a second IG I know some of you might be interested in @ultralounge7 . (This one will still be mainly c20ceramics). Finishing off my portfolio currently ready to put online next week - the hardest part is choosing which images and themes - many that look great on paper don’t look as great on screen and vice versa - some difficult decisions to make :). Have also started up a second etsy store from the @ultralounge7 account - partly to see which images get the most views - and generally keep things moving along to see what emerges and grows out of all this.

  1 of 3 striped #denby #langleymill pink & lime green jugs currently for sale. Very #1950s #colours and style.

  #hornsea #saffron c1970 - 1992. #johnclappison. Love the teapots from these 1970s Hornsea series - perfect size & shape - and no drip spouts.

  The sounds of #summer in #Australia. invasion of the #sulphurcrestedcockatoo (turn up the volume and imagine 10x as loud 😱) #tippihedren wouldnt have lasted 30 seconds, although they havent started attacking people ......YET ;)
