If you ever have the chance to visit the Wedgwood visitor centre, we would recommend a visit. Besides taking the time to see their museum, seeing how Wedgwood china is made, made us appreciate their products even more. It is amazing how much work goes in to a deceptively simple bowl.

We were able to obtain one of their classic blue jasper pedestal bowls at a reasonable price and as such we are able to pass this on to you. Classic blue jasper china by Wedgwood will never go out of style and can give the skills and knowledge zones of your house a boost. Actually Mrs B painted a complete wall in this soft blue hue  she says that she needs all the help she can get.

What can we say? We fell in love with this adorable red Volkswagen camper and could see us travel the world with it. Of course, we would have to carry it everywhere. As such it is also a highly environmentally friendly camper. It was made by the world famous, award winning Anita Harris Art Pottery, which employs Anita and her husband. The pottery mainly makes bespoke items and is well known for their colorful and abundant designs. Only 12 Volkswagen campers have been made by the pottery. They were also decorated with different designs and according to our information there is only one other Volkswagen camper with this decoration on the planet.

This camper is dent free and does not have any cracks or other bruises. You will not have to pay road tax or pay through the nose buying petrol, lubes or spare parts. No maintenance needed, beside a bit of spit and polish. It would go well in the travel, fortune and reputation zones in the house. Put it there with intent and see what happens.

The Volkswagen measures 30 x 19 x 20 cm.

When we first saw this charming Mottadehed oval bowl, we thought about dancing with Mr. Darcy. Nevertheless, this bowl was made in Italy for the New York based company Mottadehed as reflected by the pottery mark. It was sold also in Paris, hence, also the other pottery mark. Its condition is excellent without chips, cracks or repairs. We think it would do well as a serving bowl loaded with strawberries with some cream on the side. For those of you looking for a few more calories, it could contain a very sizeable quantity of tiramisu. Bring it on!! Anyway, when not in use, jazz up the relationship corner loading up this charmer with some red cheeked apples.

This lovely jug made by the French manufacturer Faiencerie de GIEN stands some 22 cm high and it is charmingly decorated in blues, yellows and greens on a white background depicting cornucopia and insects (butterflies). Cornucopia is a reflection of abundance and insects are the most abundant species on the planet. How much abundance can you have on one jug? It was made between 1860 and 1875 judging from the pottery mark on the bottom of the jug and its is in a super good condition without cracks, damage or repairs. It would be lovely to use at a leisurely lunch with friends or just to put flowers in.
