offcntrYou may remember my little piece about meeting pots from the past, The Skeleton in the Cupboard? Well, one of those skeletons clawed its way out of the grave and bit me last weekend.
It was in a gallery, no less, featured in a "Secondary Sale" show, work from people's collections (or estates). In this case, it was an early pie plate, blue jay pattern, probably from the early 1990's. I'm guessing it was purchased at the Craft Center's staff Holiday Sale, though I can't discount the possibility that it was purchased at the Lonely Pots (seconds) sale.
In any event, it sold while I was there, so I couldn't discreetly edge it off the pedestal to break on the floor. Was carpeted anyway, so that wouldn't have worked.
Sigh. For comparison, the blue jay, then and now(ish).
