Oh goodness I love these.... I saw notice last week of a FINE show of pottery from the turn of the last century, exotic and art nouveau, etc, at NY's Metropolitan Museum. I hope to go soon, and was thinking I should visit their East Asian pottery too...they have a terrific collection, but what got me more than the Japanese and Chinese gems were the Korean celadons. For my taste it is the most beautiful ceramic work ever made. I have...um...at latest count? 8 green glazes in my studio, 3-4 of which I call celadons. Celadon is basically a glassy (coke bottle!) glaze in a light blue/grey/green shade. It would vary by region in Korea and the rest of the east and around the world, depending on glaze recipes and materials. In this house I am not too strict and consider spring green, jade, light teal/turquoise celadons BUT ANYWAY, you can see the beauty of form, decoration and color that I love....
In OTHER news Yogi came over to clown around Thursday with Penny... the 2 are mighty happy to get out in the 40 degree weather...then he came in to help me make pizzas!

I am happy that the dogs love the snow- what a winter. Lovely pots those are. We have so much to learn.
Zoe's not feeling the late winter joy yet...it's warm enough finally to where we're not carrying her out to her potty spot and back into the house, so that's progress.
Loved the pictures of those pots! Thanks for posting them.
I like the etching in those pots.
Such cute pups!
I thought maybe you made those first pots...then decided maybe not. There were no animals on any of them!
Oh, except the chicken headed one...
Beautiful spring-like greens.

Great pots and great dogs... Doesn't get much better than that! :)
Dogs, pottery, life is sweet!
Those vases are so elegant. Love the bamboo myself.
It's always a dog party at your house.
