Photo Gallery 2



The teapot, mugs, cream and sugar set,
tea bag holder, vase, spoon rest,
candle holder and pie plate are all shown in the light blue-leaf design.



This photo shows three soap dispensers in the dark blue-leaf, dark blue-abstract and
#2 Italian-abstract designs.  The margarine holder behind them is light blue-leaf. 
The vase is teal, mugs #2 Italian-iris,
the pie plate is light blue-iris and the bowl with the five points is #2 Italian-leaf.


These glazes are all Bette's White
with a little Lewis Yellow on the left. 
The patterns are again mostly leaf, iris and
a geometric design on the planter.


Teal is featured in this shot.  Note on the flat surfaces that there are no designs.  Keeping flat surfaces totally glazed prevents any bacteria from accumulating on the surfaces.

The pie plate, berry strainer and
casserole are in the leaf pattern. 
The soap dispenser is abstract. 
The butter dish and salt and pepper shakers are iris.  All are in the #2 Italian glaze.
This shot is of the "Keepers." 
Left to right, margarine keeper,
honey jar and dipper, grease jar,
butter keeper, mushroom keeper
and lastly the garlic keeper.


These pots are used mostly for decorative purposes.  On the far left, a pot that
a small potted plant could just slide into. 
Then a series of five small vases. 
Behind them a planter with an
attached saucer. 
To the right of the planter, a bread cup. 
A small ceramic basket and another planter complete the picture.

This picture provides examples of most of the basics that might be included in a "set" of dishes.  There is the wine goblet and matching carafe.  In front of them is a two handled soup bowl.  Dessert and lunch plates are pictured along with a salad, cereal bowl, a tall mug and glass.  A matching vase holds the pink orchids.  (Missing are the lunch plates and a smaller size plate called a saucer.)
Everything is in the teal glaze.  Abstract design on the vertical surfaces and a plain glazed surface on horizontal surfaces for sanitation reasons.

This shot portrays lots of pots
in the dark-blue leaf design. 
There is the teapot, cream and sugar,
teabag holder, handless tea cups
and rectangular platter. 
On the right, two basket vases designed for daffodils, lilacs and other flowers
where you just divide them in half and pop them into a vase, and three assorted mugs. 
A teal butter tray rests
in the middle of the shot.

There is a variety in this photo. 
The handled salt and pepper shakers are
 Carlton Ball's Brown-Black.  The casserole,
pie plate and mixing bowl are #2 Italian Iris.  The dip plate standing in the back is light-blue leaf.  The vase, larger mixing bowl are teal and the spoon rest 211A.  Most of the colors can be mixed and matched.  They are compatible as the colors and designs tie them together.
