Lancaster Pottery

Lancaster Pottery, originally uploaded by Lancaster Today.

Took some shots early this morning as traders were setting up their stalls for the regular Saturday market in town. Talked with Alvin again at his display when I was finished and took a few pictures of his work. Alvin is a local pottery artist, producing thrown and hand-painted ceramics and tableware. I'll tell you more about him and his art in a later post, along with photos of the man himself. In the meantime, you can find out more about his work here, including a photo of Alvin which I promise to beat in that later post!

p.s. In the top picture, it is a price label on the far side of the rim, not a flaw in the work or the photo. And apologies for cropping the handle on the second photo. It was beyond my control. :)

  1. What excellent work! This may say more about me than I'd like, but the first piece has a certain "erotic" look!

    Nice photos, Eamon!

  2. I could easily make a space for either of those elegant pieces in my house! J'aime les objets d'art!

  3. Yes, quite revealing that Jacob! ;)

    Maybe we'll find out what Alvin thinks. I've just emailed him the link to the blog so hopefully he'll leave a comment about his work, and whether he agrees about the eroticism...

  5. They are both lovely! I think the second one is my favorite of the two.
