Hi all,
Here is a number of sites I visited in December.

Here they are then...
Galleries and more - December 2001 surfing

represented online.

this time.) :-/
Museum of Overbeck Art Pottery (Cambridge City, Indiana)

Margaret, Hannah, Elizabeth, Mary Frances Overbeck.
These sisters were potters in the later 19th. and early 20th. Century.
Elizabeth studied for a time with Professor Charles Binns of Alfred U.
Several small to medium pictures of their work.
Also mini bios of the 4 and their two other sisters and one brother.

Gongfu (uses Yixing pottery); and Gaiwan (uses glazed covered tea bowl

Apropos of the Clayart discussion of stove-top tolerant clay
products:
- here is a "large earthenware kettle" for which the claim is made
that it is safe for stove-top use.

quickly. -

are great.
Excellent forms.
