Barbara Willis Did What?


Wow, what if somebody blamed this on you? What a glaze job...something I might have done in 6th grade arts and crafts class. So someone was selling this monster on eBay as a Barbara Willis vase. I saw that and thought, "Gee, no wonder she gave up pottery."
Not really. I love Barbara Willis pottery. I had the good fortune to own one of her vases once with a turquoise crackle finish. It was mine for awhile and I wish it still was.
Anyway, Barbara wrote this auction seller a polite email informing her that she didn't combine glazes and, oh yea, that drip stuff wasn't her style. To the seller's credit she added the email to the listing so we all could see. And kudos to Barbara for taking the time to email this seller and setting her/him straight.
