Just added a nice selection of Unique warning and safety signs to the collection. These are all straight out of Poland and are original industrial warning signs.

They’ll make a great addition to the Unique collection here!

Enjoy!

Herend, 1954. Hungary's most well-known porcelain is Herendi, named from the village from where it has been made since 1826. You will find at least one piece, all hand-painted as shown in this photo, in most middle-upper class households in Hungary.

an update on our cute little cup:
It wanted to be an espresso, or mini #tea cup.
so I put an itty bitty handle on it!

this is going to be fun to decorate :)

i'm trying to stay away from making cups (my pottery comfort zone) but after throwing a bunch of lids and spouts, i had a little nub of clay left, and decided to make this tiny little shot glass or espresso cup 'for fun'. it's sooo cute!!! These will be great for glaze testing.

Antiques tweet No.5: tea bowls.

When tea was first brought to the UK from China in the 1650s there were two problems: it was very expensive and the tin-glazed ceramic vessels of the day could not withstand boiling water.
The solution was to import tiny handle-less porcelain tea bowls and matching saucers from China along with the tea.
Even when suitable cups could be made here, from the 1760's, they were still made without handles for another 50 years.....
