Myrna Schkolne: Early Staffordshire Figures

I believe I have mentioned the stunning work of Scottish artist Kevin Low. He uses the faces of Staffordshire figures to inspire his colorful creations. Check out Kevin's latest exhibition at www.kevinlow.co.uk/index.htm. Below are pictures from the exhibition opening and two of my favorite prints.

Staffordshire pottery dealer, Nick Burton, also has a fascination with faces of Staffordshire figures. See www.nickburtonenglishpottery.co.uk/Faces.html. Nick's stock is mainly Victorian, but given his sharp eye I can't wait for him to focus on the really interesting figures: those made in the earlier decades of the 19th century!
