Showing Off Ceramics

April 26, 2013 by Jane F Leave a Comment

displaying ceramics - turquoise 1950s Haeger and McCoy pottery collection - country living via atticmagWhen displaying ceramics, high contrast color helps collectibles pop off the shelves.

Few aspects of home décor are as interesting as well-displayed objects. I adore pillows and lush upholstery details but displaying ceramics — interesting vases, plates and cache pots in a single vibrant color like turquoise seems like an object lesson of its own. Fluted, high-gloss Haeger vases and McCoy pieces [top] are massed together on a chippy white shelf. They make an unmistakable statement about 1950s sensibility. The ceramics have interesting textures based on bamboo, wood, leaf and floral motifs as well.

displaying ceramics - white pottery displayed against a dark red wall and shelves - homemag via atticmagI’m always surprised by how glamorous assorted white pottery pieces can be. After all, it’s just white. But shown against a seductively dark red wall and matching shelves, even the simplest white ceramics collection will  shine.  Photos like these spur me to take second and third looks around the house and worry that I don’t have enough of the same thing to make for an interesting wall!
