Someone stole my idea! I started getting used dinnerware at secondhand
stores in the summer of 2003, and using it to practice new china paint
techniques, tools and mediums. It's about the most fun thing I've done in
ceramics in a long time. But I call them "Rescued Pots' rather than
"Rehabilitated Dinnerware".

Hi Paul,
Well, they may have stolen your idea, but I knew a potter in Cincinnati
that used to take used diner china (the kind that never broke) and reglaze
them in low fire glazes and then "replace" them in the diner. This was
around the year 1974. I guess good ideas have a long shelf life!
Best,
Richard

This woman's line is VERY popular here in NYC. She's made quite a name for
herself in the style magazines, etc.
I love her work, and it's really executed nicely. Unless you leave the
original hallmark on the pot, you are walking a thin line between your own
ideas and executions and "stealing" the forms (and, in some cases, the
patterns) of someone else. It's not unlike sampling music in a pop song.

What a fantastic idea! I would love to see some of the pots you have done -
in fact I'm sure a lot of us would.
