spreading my ceramic wings
I've been away from my blog for a few days and surfing around various pottery and collectors' sites. After visiting Mark Hill's blog, i found a link to the amazing pottery and glass forum. Some of you may have already found it and will have been chatting on there for ages, but for newbies like me it has been a revelation... Yes, i REALLY am, not the only ceramics geek/freak in the village!
Another link for you is the blog of one collector/dealer in Reading. His specialism is Mid 20th century design (so a bit late for any Bisto collectors) and he looks really cool!

Emsworth Auction

BISTO AZTEC WARE
Many thanks are owed to a gentleman and his daughter, called Lesley and Leslie respectively, who sent me pictures of two pieces of Aztec ware that they have at home. This range dates from the 1920s and was produced in a few colour variations and some with lustre glazes (as evidenced here). So, here for your delectation are the two Lesley/Leslie's pots. If anyone reading has other examples that you'd like to share with me and other readers of this blog, please do get in touch.
