Because of my fascination with this pottery I have come across various others who also collect it, and I have permission to share photos of some of their pieces. Please enjoy the wide variety of decorative articles that were made in what began as, and essentially remained a home based art pottery, typical of the proliferation of art potteries in Sydney NSW after the 2nd World War.
