Hi Barbara,

As I said on your other topic, sorry to have been a stranger to my Suite friends as of late. These patters seem quite interesting.

Joyce and I are think about buying some cherry red earthenware from Waechtersbach (in Germany), a company that has been around since 1832. Their colors are so very deep and vibrant.

Wishing you the best for the new year.

Tom

Nice to hear from you, Tom! Happy new year!

I've been trying to upload a picture of the Niloak to the article but it hasn't been working lately. It's very unusual.

and I may have purchased a vase for my daughter, not knowing what it was. I'll have to take a look at it now.

Hi Barbara,

Enjoyed reading about Niloak and seeing the photograph of your vase, which is a very interesting shape. The handles in particular are unusual.

My cousin has a little five-inch pitcher made by Niloak, but it isn't the swirled colored clay. It looks more like the matte finishes that Van Briggle used.

I changed the photo in the article from the Mission swirl to the Hywood pattern, Linda. But the swirl pattern is the one described in the article, of course. I just recently sold the Hywood vase with its interesting handles on eBay! That's the last of my Niloak pieces, so I got the article written just in time...

That was quite an education for me. The picture was beautiful- I'll be looking much more closely at domestic pottery now.
