In a nod to our Canadian friends who still care about their miserable neighbors dealing with a raving lunatic... I'm posting some Canadian teapots! These are Medalta Potteries (1916-1954, out of Medicine Hat, Alberta. Medalta made some absolutely gorgeous solid color wares in bright colors.

I know it's a long shot, but does anyone here collect Medalta Pottery? I'm looking to meet other collectors here.
Here is one of my latest acquisitions. It's from the 1930's.

It could be just me, drinking out of my Lukes+Calgary Public Library+Medalta mug, like, “Wow, the cross-country skiing at West Bragg Creek was amazing yesterday”
But instead it’s like, “I hope the UCP doesn’t destroy Bragg Creek. Oh look, another vulnerable person that Alberta is trying to kill.”

I spent the last week in acts of attempted preservation: cucumbers, family heirlooms, my sanity. It’s been a wild, exhausting ride.

I agree so much! I’ve been really lacking being connected to pottery people since I finished my artist residency in southern Alberta at Medalta. I live a few hours outside of Edmonton and 9 hours from that residency.
Absolutely love that you were able to reconnect. I’m hopeful for this app 🤗
