A while since my last blog post but I have been busy and I have met a new blog friend. Vicki from
Saffron's Strawberrypatch lives not far from me and has an amazing collection of Australian pottery. Vicki invited me to her lovely home and trusted me to open her cabinets and touch her precious collections.
I love the Kookaburra jugs Vicky has in this cabinet, you can see them on the left.
Lots of Pokerwork on display again my favourite was a Kookaburra. Pokerwork was very popular in the 1930's.
Another cabinet with some Aboriginal designs on the pottery, very popular in the 1950's.
Vicki also paints and this is some of her work. Then we had a cup of tea together and though our collection are so different we had a lot to talk about and soon Vicki will come to my house to see my collections.
This is my small collection of Australian pottery. I love lustre ware and Vicki kindly gave me the lustre vase with flowers you can see in the middle. Thank you Vicki, I love it. I stopped at an Antique Centre on the way home and bought the small lustre vase on the right.
My growing swan collection most of them lustre ware.
