Place Forail was alive with colour as the Potters Market got under
way. Hard to single out individual pieces, but, despite the lead
picture of a plate above, striking was the amount of very good figurine
work - see "Figures" below, where you can access a quick
automatic slide show of some of the figurines featured in the Potters
Market. Pots, plates, objet d'art... you were spoilt for choice
if you were in a buying mood. Clicking on any of the three images
below will pop up a larger version.
On the other hand, you could make and decorate your own...
One thing stood out at this years market, were the number of potters
exhibiting figures. Clicking on the image below, will start a quick,
automatic slide show of some of these figures.
Click the figure above to view a Quick Slide Show of some more of
the very fine figures on display at this years Potters Market, but
make sure that your Pop-Up Blocker is switched off.
