As of this posting, Allison and Jeffrey are having a baby any minute now. Congratulations! Thank you for finding the time to send us some shots!

John McGraw bought this piece in Scottsdale as a Valentine's gift for his wife, Denise. They live in a Spanish-style home in Southern California, and she thought to put this on a granite countertop.

As it turned out, the bowl and the face tiles on the wall look like they were made for each other. As Denise remarked, "It was meant to be."

Mark sent this picture, saying: "I have cherished four of your pieces for the past 15 years! Thanks to the Internet, I've been updated on your works and your being. Cool. I thought you might like to see a picture of your works of 1993 which continue to bring great feeling to my house. ... Los Angeles has become such a frenetic place ... peaceful creations like yours become more and more important to maintaining sanity, so I am grateful to you."

Thank you, Mark.

These pieces of Richard's are from a Zen series he was working on some 15 years ago back in San Diego, exploring an alternative to the raku work he'd been doing for eight years previously. They are the result of a pursuit of simplicity of form and design, and an interest in lithium and copper carbonate, which is what yielded the marvelous color and texture of the glaze.

Meet the wares of Diane and Pete Kaluszyk, from Columbus, OH.

The granite in their newly remodeled kitchen (in the picture above right) is a red variety -- unusual and very beautiful.

They bought the big jar you see on the granite counter above and the little one at Winterfair and asked Cathra-Anne to make another different one to go in between.

That red granite's quite the striking canvas for the plentiful yellow of the Tutu jar above.

Yep, these are Richard's parents. They live in San Mateo in a beautiful condo full of artwork from all over the Far East. Maybe their style is Eclectic Asian, even so, Richard's pieces fit perfectly.

On the buffet, left to right, is a Lotus Jar, an Asian Dogwood Platter and a Scarab Amphora. If one goes to Greece and Egypt, this is what one gets.

Inset above is Cathra-Anne's Rattan Square Teapot.

Cathra-Anne's pots have been vying for real estate in Bill and Challa's Wisconsin home for at least 25 years.

...they've been enjoying an even longer track record in the home of Bill's wonderful parents, John and Winnie Patchett. Let's just say we have a history!

This is Umbria Jar, and it measures about 30 x 14 inches.

Whenever he's travelled to Louisville, Richard has imagined his work would sing in one of the many gorgeous Craftsman homes that line the downtown. Umbria Jar, which lives on Kathy Langston's bathroom hearth, confirms that inkling. Kathy bought this piece at Louisville's St. James Art Fair.

Some of our pieces "in situ" in Sue's recently remodeled kitchen (and great room, where the kitty is).

Pictured are Richard's Anatolian Tulip Teapot, Earl Grey Teapot and Trumpet Garden Seat; and Cathra-Anne's Mixed Veggie Bowl.

Jan is a second generation collector introduced to Cathra-Anne by her mom, Mary Wall. The Snyders have a fabulous collection from the last fifteen years (probably twenty to twenty-five pieces between them), including notable teapots and special Cottonwood "Eyes of Texas" pieces.
