I didn't think I collected pottery, but now that I think about it, I guess I do...I love a good piece of pottery or ceramics. There are so many neat glazes out there.

One of my favorite pieces of handmade pottery, is my butterbell. The artist copied a vintage pattern from the early 19th century. The bells these days don't have the holes in the bell, which is important. That helps the water fill in at different levels, as you use the butter, instead of just trapping an air-bubble, and growing mold!, euw.

The whole idea of the butterbell is to exclude all air, so that it doesn't have to be refrigerated...
