About Me
- The Ticcy Knitter
- Sometimes, life doesn't turn out the way you expected. And sometimes, it is exactly as it was 'meant' to be. I believe that life is a both a learning experience and an obstacle course to be climbed and clambered over in the most creative way possible! In doing so, you'll get to where you should be even if it's not where you'd imagined.

They are beautiful. how do you limit what to collect?
unfortunately, i didn't buy any of the items i've listed here. I would have loved to added them to my collection but i either missed them or they went too high for me. But with regards you're specific question, i tend to limit my collection to more decorative items such as vases, jugs and plates etc, unless it's a terribly rare thing and then i'll make an exception. Even though Bisto ware isn't as common as say, Wedgwood or Doulton, there are still plenty of basic items out there. I'm not particularly interested in buying very generic looking dinner services or basic plates or cups&saucers. This mass market fodder doesn't make for a terribly interesting collection for display, but of course, one might buy them to use or for academic study of a particular factory. For me, I often just keep a photographic record of those types of pieces for reference.
In my collection, handpainted items are always preferable to transfer ware and gilded items even more so. My own taste is drawn mainly to the Aesthetic period and some Deco pottery. The more chintzy / floral stuff is nice enough, but i don't buy a lot of it.
