<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Francisco G Kempton, post: 4386379, member: 22714&quot;]Saltglaze is new to me, I am only really learning of it now, and it is quite lovely pottery and a German innovation.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]368734[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It reminds of 18th century Straffordshire &#039;Whieldon&#039; pottery and agate ware, but they also did Saltglazed earthenware.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whieldon pottery has that same effect on me. I find it quite beautiful.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]368735[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]368736[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for all this crackle and pop. I am not a potter and would never claimed to be one. I doubt many of us have ever worked in the pottery business and if one has then I am sure they are not too strict about the terminologies banded about by collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>I study Pottery and Porcelain as a collector, admirer and as a passion. I study it for this reason and will spend hour&#039;s studying a beautiful porcelain vase. I am not a dealer nor a seller and do not have a finger in that pie but I do value it as an investment and I am concious of value in that respect.</p><p><br /></p><p>I always have questions about something I might purchase or found mostly as to whether it is genuine and authentic. I fully understand when someone asks about porcelain, that they usually should be interested in understanding as much about it as they can.</p><p><br /></p><p>Porcelain collecting led me to get Antique Display cabinets which in turn led me to take an interest in Antique furniture, and that is my only reason for being at Antiquers, as it combines both those passions.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to my comment about Sherlock Holmes it was sincerely meant as compliment to OwnedbyBear who could pick out the exact type of flower, which at the time very much impressed me. I am sorry he read me as being facitious. I am currently watching Sherlock Holmes and I, like most people marvel at other peoples quick knowledge.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to Louri plates, I still do not know what they might be Cake plate&#039;s..?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
