To me, they don't fall into the same category as most commercial pottery. <BR/><BR/>Maybe because I grew up with some pricey signed originals my grandparents picked up in Europe---not sure, but that must be why. <BR/><BR/>It's a style, at least, and far, FAR above Precious Moments and "made in Taiwan" animals..."Susan as Herselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09665517309910285209noreply@blogger.com
