About us

My photo
United Kingdom
Welcome. We are Jill and Steve. We'e both fascinated by, and attracted to, well-designed objects from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Not only ceramics but also glass, metalware, wood, and lots of other things too. We love the textures, the colours and the graphics. This blog is just our way of showing some of the items that we've picked up over the years. We're not experts on pottery or design but we can let you know what we've managed to find out about some of the objects in the pictures. We hope you like them.
