Just sent to me from the UK is a picture of this sign, spotted above a stand crowded with the finest English pottery at London's prestigious Olympia Winter Fine Art & Antiques Fair.
The stand belongs to John Howard. Who else could pull this off? Congratulations, John! Collectors everywhere are proud of you, and thank you for shining the spotlight on our figures yet again. Thank you, thank you!
BADA awards are a very big deal in the antiques trade. Sort of like getting an Oscar. The award is peer-judged, and the competition is intense. This really is an achievement, and I wonder when last the award was given to a pottery stand.
My pictures can't do John's stand justice, but here goes.

For those of us in the US, remember that John packs this whole show up and brings it to NY for us to enjoy in January. Or you can indulge any time by visiting the web site.
