invite you to spend the day with us.
What better way to learn... than to study pottery in person, hold it in your hands ... and ask pottery lovers how to tell the fake from the real, how to build a great collection ... all while experiencing nostalgic memories of china cabinets of your youth... and enjoying in person so many rare and beautiful examples that you normally see only in a book?
This leading Midwest-based annual show features a broad range of vintage, antique and collectible American pottery and dinnerware. Exhibitors bring a wide array of ceramics in EVERY price range, for both beginners and advanced collectors.
