Hello. We like to collect well-designed vintage pottery (and lots of other stuff) from the 1950s,
'60s and '70s. Here are some pictures and info of a selection of the things we've found.

Maria Philippi Soholm dish. Danish pottery from 1965.












Here's another small dish designed by Maria Philippi.

Made by Soholm Pottery, Bornholm, Denmark, the dish dates from around 1965. It's a simple, yet well-balanced shape, the design is typical of the style of the 1960s, the colours work well together, and there's a lovely tactile feel to surface of the pot – four factors that ensured this little dish would make its way into the Potshot collection.

  1. Great post; what a beautiful dish!

    I have a plate/trinket dish in the same pattern, but with a darker glaze. I'm trying to find out exactly when it was made... I'd love to know where you get your dates from.
