My wife, big time and me vicariously through her. I've been to pottery auctions and often thumb through her subscription copy of Ceramics Review. In all seriousness, she has some great pieces. No Bernard Leach or Shoji Hamada yet, but maybe one day.

if something catches my eye and the price is right....

 

More of a tile collector though. I had a little kick where I was collecting old tiles that was started when we went to Portugal in 2000 and I came back with a few dozen painted tiles from the late 1600s through mid-1800s. I had a project in mind for them, but, of course, they're still in a box. Back then, with a relatively strong dollar and Portugal being a relatively less expensive country, they weren't terribly expensive. I paid $4-$10 each for them. I then bought some cool American tiles from the late 1800s. And then I stopped.

 

(Before you ask "how can painted tiles from the 1600s and 1700s have only been $4- $10? Well, first, there are a lot of them in Portugal. Second, the dollar wasn't in the *spoon**er back then. now they tend to run $30-$50 a pop.)
