This is some of my pottery collection I've acquired over the years from auctions. Most of it dates from the 1920's to the 1980's. Although I have many different types of pottery, Van Briggle is one of my favorite to collect. Hope all you pottery lovers enjoy the pictures!

Wow! LOVE this collection. I'm a Weller girl myself but I am always sneaking glances at Van Briggle. So very pretty.
Thanks AmberRose. I do like weller myself, but don't currently own any.
Thanks Alisonf.
Its nice to find VB and Weller pieces at garage sales, I have yet to find any. Right place and time makes all the difference in the world.
Thanks AR8Jason.
Wow, all I see at garage sales is old Christmas decorations. I need to move. Where are you at AR8Jason??? ;)
Hmmm. Not too far, Chicago.
Thanks BeuaxPurdy, shughs, designer, and sandhardin.
I love, love, love it!!!
All I have is VB cat. It is their beautiful aqua like color.
Thank you nldionne.
VB hardly ever shows up in this area or I would have to add a few more shelves. Live their stuff. My cat has a feel to it unlike any other pottery I have. Makes me want to pet it it is do smooth.
Love VB. I bought my first by touch alone. The piece I bought was so smooth and soft.
