There is an old water wheel on the grounds of Clos Lucé that was left by a now defunct factory adjacent. The mechanics have been restored to now show how water power was harnessed for factory use. Today, one can find this display of pottery next to it.
Yesterday I was in a mental tower. Full with morphia against pain ,today I feel better and your pottery pic is gorgeous. My first plate was a Namibian one in dark beige and blue pottery ,my parents got it as a gift when I was born and I still have it. Pottery belongs to mankind in all traditions and is a wonderful tool to express oneself. I suppose your spouse bought some beautiful ones.

We did not buy any of these... as they are not for sale ! But we already have plenty that we bought in the States and subsequently brought to France. We have loved pottery ever since the arts and crafts movement caught on big in the States (starting in the 70s). That's a great story about your (actual) birthday plate. And glad to hear you have bounced back yet again.
Deletethose are some nice pieces...i like the lighting and shadows in your photo!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tanya.
DeleteNeat shot of the pottery. I wonder if the pots were always coloured that way or if the colour is part of how they've aged.
ReplyDeleteThanks. That's a good question but I'm afraid I can't answer it.
DeleteThe pottery looks quite lovely in this soft light.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the sun was getting low at this point in the day.
DeleteI love pottery. You framed these super pottery pieces beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThanks !
DeleteThat's cool!
ReplyDeleteI don't see as much here as before, so it was nice to find these.
