Bronwen, that picture! <3 That is a majestic looking kitty, isn't it?!! Am I just overlooking the heart icon?
And therein lies the dilemma of who to talk to. Interesting that you'd comment on their fierce look. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I...
Hahaha!! Me believes you do it, too? :woot: :joyful: Winged lions? I've never heard that term before. And I've already learned something new!...
I wish I knew what you had to help you out. But, never-the-less, I love it!
Good morning, all! These are my beautiful (but extremely heavy at 42 lbs. ea.) old guardian gargoyles. I use to live on a country 5 acres but...
I'm getting ready to call it a long day. I quickly stopped by a local antique store where one of the dealers had a decent amount of knowledge on...
That is beautiful! Hmmm ... that looks like a pineapple to me at the top. So maybe a pineapple and daisy type pattern?
Good morning, everyone! I need help with the glaze/painting applications on this piece. 1. You can see all of those little imperfections that...

I don't think this jar made it to its intended purpose as a pharmacy "medicine" jar (term used loosely). From what I understand, medicine jars...
You are right! It did not have a lid. In fact, if it did have evidence of a lid or no lip for grasping, it would not be an albarello container...
Thank you so much!!! The legwork has been so rewarding. It makes it so much more fun to share it with this group!
BEV - I wish I could give you an internet hug! Your comment made me take a step back from it being a food storage container. I started digging a...
Thoughts? Where would I go from here to confirm, deny, disprove, or prove my theory? After all, it's not written in earthenware yet. :playful:...
I have a trail I am on. In my first post, I said it might be etched. I took another look and, sure enough under the loupe, it is almost...
Haha! Like not now! Edit: Chomping on words. :D Though I knew it was a storage vessel, your comment made me take a closer look at what type it...
