My son is applying for an internship this summer and was asked to send photos of his pottery. I have to say, I was quite proud as we gathered the pieces from around the house. He's given many pieces away to friends and relatives, and this is only a selection of what he's done, all from 10th and 11th grade. Not included are a 3-piece fountain, a lamp, and an alligator head with a duck in its mouth, which was dropped and shattered... a terrible loss! Nevertheless, this is a nice representation of his work.

He seems to be a natural. Maybe it's because he's been surrounded by pottery his entire life! I have acquired a few pieces of pottery over the years. At one time in my life it was baskets... Oh, did I have a lot of baskets! I seemed to have moved on to pottery at some point... Here are a few pieces from past posts...

How can I resist that gorgeous green? Those drips? I love using the country french look of the confit pots in a more formal setting like the dining room table, the living room mantle, or a glass coffee table. I can't be all fussy or all country... I like a mix.

I especially love seeing Brookes' pottery around the house... Here are a few of my favorites from Brookes in my kitchen.
