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.

Saturday Self-Challenge - the weirdest thing you own. Difficult to find something to fit this challenge.
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.
