The reason I went on and on about Stephen Pearce is that I *also* don't like stoneware, and in general think most pottery (especially rustic pottery) is overrated. But this... I have mugs, lamps, weird dishes, large bowls, small bowls, heart-shaped candy dishes, vases, etc. The burnt-sienna-and-white is just spectacular. I live in fear of breaking our two mugs because they haven't made them in about 20 years, and they are gigantic. When I have a cup of tea, I HAVE A CUP OF TEA!
And I'm sure it's all Barry's there, but I'm a Lyons girl (the whole Free State thing--bizarrely silly in this day of corporate multinationalism, but there you have it). No one quite holds a grudge like my ancestors.
that is amusing and yes, it is all Barry's here. It's a Cork company, of course, so local. I was particularly partial to Pearce's glazes. The school and the hotel both use the pottery, so we see it a lot!
I have THOUGHTS about that exam outline. It's like a ransom note, it's so patchy.
hahahaha
