Good things are afoot when pottery collectors and connoisseurs come online to share their information and collections. Less than a year ago Cliff Schwartz and his page on the Schwenks. Cliff has an interest in BC ceramics. particularly the Okanagan. You can see the Schwenk page at www.schwenkpottery.ca . But the surprise is there is more: more artist information on such contemporaries as Axel Ebring, Walter Dexter, Zeljko Kujundzic, Des and Peggy Loan, Frank Poll, and Frances Hatfield.
And still more. Cliff has another site studiopotterycanada.ca . that he started in 2018. He modestly describes the site:
This purpose of this site is to tell and preserve some of the stories of Canadian potters and thus serve as a source of information to collectors, researchers and enthusiasts.
Studio Pottery Canada primarily focuses on pottery thrown before 1980 and is intended to supplement (not compete with) other on-line sources of information about the potters of Canada.
Cliff’s images and information are marvellous. Enjoy his sites
Thank you for sharing! My first interest is Canadian hand painted porcelain but I have a small eclectic collection of Canadian Studio Pottery, mostly small items, ie a few Hagen and Deichmann, some Harlander, a Lambert, etc. Most of the pieces are identified but I have a few signed, unidentified. I am glad I can enrich my knowledge following yours and other fellows collectors sites. Best, Paula
