More of a shop than a barn but I was thinking that this is what a real Pottery Barn should look like. Taken at Old Sturbridge Village.
From wikipedia - Old Sturbridge Village is a living museum located in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, in the United States, which re-creates life in rural New England during the 1790s through 1830s. It is the largest living museum in New England, covering more than 200 acres (80 hectares). The Village includes 59 antique buildings, three water-powered mills, and a working farm. The museum is a popular tourist and educational field trip destination. Costumed interpreters speaking in modern language help visitors understand 19th-century life.
Believed to be one of the oldest pottery villages in the country whose history, according to folklore, runs back to the Kandyan Era or even more. Resembling the Rajakari system of feudalist origin, more than 50 families engaged in manual clay pottery industry. This small village which has significantly transformed into modern day commercialization is situated 12 kilometres away from Kegalle at either side of the Kandy-Colombo main road. Beautiful clay works can also be bought for souvenir

Amberley Castle is located in the village of Amberley, West Sussex, England. It was erected in the 12th century as a Manor House. In a courtyard on the grounds this very tired "Pottery Man" oversees all the gardening. He's taking a much deserved break and seems to be going to pieces.
This is a re-run. Since I'm not posting anything new for a few months, I thought I'd bring this one forward for another run. It was taken near the west coast of Ireland.
Black pottery, called "barro negro", is a specialty of the city of San Bartolo Coyotepec, next to Oaxaca.

An eye-catching outside wall of something, I believe was a pottery shop. I didn't go inside. I thought nothing will beat this kind of display.
Somewhere in Algarve, Portugal
A metallic glazed pottery vase for Macro Mondays Pick Two theme.
I was clearing out the shed last week and I came across this old hand built pottery vase that I made at my one attempt at pottery evening classes many years ago. It is not a great thing of beauty and the forgetmenots are trying to cover a great chip in the base, yet I can’t quite bring myself to throw it away, so I expect it will go back to the shed after its only moment of glory. Needless to say, I didn’t pursue the dream of being a potter!

I had the pleasure to watch a Grey Heron feeding at Potteric Carr yesterday afternoon. I had worked a short shift, but the weather was first class so afterwards decided to while away an hour or two at a local nature reserve.
The 1940s Pottery had art to itself, love the old pieces now that some are more affordable in price.
One style of typical Czech pottery. Joined a workshop session while I was there, and may show you my creation later.
ANSH 119 #1 "From a different era"
This is a precolumbian pot we inherited from my in-laws. It came to us with no provenance other than "central America", so likely ancient Mayan in origin, but I don't really know and don't know any experts in this. I'm not even certain of the Central American part, but I do know it came from a store that specialized in that. It was bought sometime in the late 1970s. So "different era" on two levels...
