How do you display your collection?

And don't put it on facing backwards !

I would stick it on zip. I fit's a clean break then one small drop of Superglue will do the trick, hold the head in place as superglue only works under pressure (5 sec) and wipe away any excess with damp cloth. You will never know it was broken. You re not going to sell them and it will make you feel good to see it back on.

Honest Crawford, thanks for your 'top tip' how to repair it.

but it now serves as a good reminder broken, for me to be more careful.

It wont get lost as there's only me here.

Try sticking it back together with canned milk , it will look fine .

On Sunday, i had a funny five minutes (well, more like two hours) of cleaning, tidying, moving furniture, hanging pictures and reorganising shelves.

Can you take us through what's in the cabinet please Bisto?

Looks like some interesting stuff.

i'll do my best, some i don't know. Includes...

left cabinet:
top shelf: unknown yellow vase, maybe govancroft but can't read the mark, German deco circular candlestick, Maria Beckett seagull pot, Rockingham ware flask, Marazion vase.
2nd shelf: two Robert Goldsmith Selborne Pottery jugs, german stoneware vase and Westerwald tall handled jug/vase.
3rd shelf: Furstenberg plate, raku vase, small studio pot marked RS and handled pouring jug by Warwick Parker
bottom shelf: unknown (presumed Portsmouth area) studio pottery.

right cabinet:
top shelf: Chelsea pottery plate, two chinese pots (presumed 20thC copies of earlier wares).
2nd shelf: unknown pottery 4-sided vase based on a Chinese form, marked but unknown studio teapot, two oriental pots
3rd shelf: 3 candle holders by unknown, Alan Ward vase, old redware dish, unknown lidded pot with iridescent manganese interior.
4th shelf: lidded pot with MC mark - possibly Mick Casson, spotty bowl by David Crimes, spotted German vase circa 1900.

some named things, but i now find i'm buying stuff simply because i like the form or glaze rather than just buying because of its maker.

Nice display.

I love that mix, my favorite display so far

cheers one room down, several more to go. We've been living here for almost 10 years, but still seem to be living like students in much of the house.

for those who don't have room for cabinets.
these Cobridge pots are kept safe and well lit by displaying them inside the double glazing

INSIDE?? How on earth did you manage that?

I decided ,before posting this tip, not to tell you Naomi

You know you can't keep secrets from me Dan

Reminds me of that Tommy Cooper joke... Man walks into a pet shop and says do you sell wasps? No says the shop assistant. Oh says the man but you have two in the windows?

It looks like quite a good Idea Dan ,..........err I think , does tend to cut off the bottom half of the pots though , still looks ok , but bear in mind you are the only person in the universe with that glazing

actually I installed it in the last house too so there are 2 people

Don't believe you and BTW that ladder is waiting for someone to trip over it , have it removed or I'll report you to the ladder health police people thingys

its on top of my car so they would need to be 25ft tall

it may be our only hope if aliens land in Boston
