Several years ago, House and Garden did a mention of David Cleverly of Haytown Pottery in England. He has taken the Staffordshire tradition and tweaked it a bit. His pieces seem beautifully executed, but are full of fun and whimsy. If you log on to his site, I think you will agree, he might be the kind of guy with whom you’d like to sit and share a pint. Waterloo Gundog (I had an English Pointer, Emma, who smiled just like this.)
