The 4th Deadly Sin... Envy

The 4th deadly sin is ENVY - Jealousy; wanting to have what someone has.

... what do you covert?

For me it's this striped dish, 1970, dunno why but every time I go to the V&A I quietly 'paw' the glass. Ohhhh and if they leave the cabinets open I'll also have some of the Henry Hammond...  just a piece or two, I'm not Greedy!..... is that another sin?






1. Greed - Wanting too much of something.
2. Gluttony - Similar to greed, but gluttony is the action of taking too much of something in.
3. Lust - The need to fulfill unspiritual desires (not just sexual desires, but this is usually what lust is associated with.)
4. Envy - Jealousy; wanting to have what someone has.
5. Sloth - Being too slow or lazy at doing something.
6. Wrath - Vindictive anger; angry revenge.
7. Pride - Being too self-satisfied

Something like this maybe. Japanese, monumental and sculptural... with no chance of getting your money back!   

Anything from the Sir Percival David Collection, at the British Museum,

I wouldn't mind getting my hands two pieces - A huge James Tower Vessel In paisley Museum and A Charger By Thomas Toft from the Burrell collection , but to be honest my list would be endless ,Voulkos and the like as well , so I am in the greedy catagory I guess   

At some point I will cave in and order a douglas fitch pitcher from his website.

He's on the studio pottery collectors on facebook .

Does he give discounts to new members   

Doubt it , but then Iv'e never spoken to the guy , but hey ho a sale is a sale , you could always ask I suppose , money is money   

I've got a Doug Fitch jug (tee hee)

Remember me in your will.

I had a sculptural yunomi in a wooden box by Kaneto san once and didn't know how much they are worth until I sold it for £150.

Well done to spot the artist, SP.

This was in the Maak auction with an estimate of £2000-£3000
