Meeting Highlights & Program
November 2011
It
was
October
in
November!
Mark
and
Tony
shared
pieces
from
their
wonderful
collection
of
Franciscan
Pottery’s
October
pattern.
They
were
drawn
to
the
pattern
because
of
its
usable
shapes
and
earthy,
subdued
colors.
Franciscan
made
30
different
pieces
in
the
pattern
during
its
run;
Tony
and
Mark
shared
an
example
of
almost
all
of
the
available
shapes.
Highlights
included
the
pitcher,
gravy
and
attached
stand,
napkin
rings
in
their
original
box,
and
three
sizes
of
microwave
dishes.
Several
pieces
included
acorn
knobs:
the
elusive
covered
casserole,
teapot,
and
sugar
bowl.
The
twig
handles
on
the
mugs
were
also
considered
quite
stylish.
The
club
quickly
saw
what
appealed
to
Mark
and
Tony
and
why
they
are
very
happy
to
use
their
wonderful
set
on
an
almost
daily
basis.
Tony’s
comment
that
the
pattern
has
a
timeless
quality
was
shared
by
many.
Additional
information
about
Franciscan
Pottery
is
available

the
Franciscan
Newsletter
