offcntrOne of the drawbacks of being a potter, especially one who buys other people's pottery as well, is finding room for it all. A few years back, I happened upon a nice little four-shelf thing, about 3 inches deep, that was perfect for unomi, handle-less cups and tea bowls.
Most of my cups are bigger, though, and a cheap commercial mug rack wasn't up to the task of holding oversized or odd-handled handmade cups.
I jury-rigged one from brass hooks and wood scrap, but it didn't hold nearly enough, so last week I took a day off from the studio to throw together something better. It's made from hemlock 1x5's I got at Mike's Bargain Lumber, and a whole bunch of 1-5/8" self tapping screws. Holds fifteen mugs and another bunch of unomi along the top.
Only another fifty or so yet to display...
