I collect the really old ones, the porcelain kind, from back in the 50's and 60's. The real live birds though, I love woodpeckers. I really want to see a cedar waxwing. It seems God always sends a special bird when I am at my lowest. Like one I wanted to see but have not been able to. I wonder what He will send next ?

Yes, Royal Copenhagen & Bing & Grondahl are my favorites..But Meissen as well as Dresden are probably known as the most sought after respectively. I will post a pic of one I have from 1959 that Im about to list on ebay...I also am listing a vase from 1902 with a small pond scene..

I collect Pueblo Indian Pottery.

This is a Zia water pot that my grandfather picked up in the late 20's in New Mexico. I got it when I was in college and lugged it everywhere using it to hold pencils, etc. (It is about 12" by 10"). It is a wonder it did not get broken. And I just thought it was a neat pot.

Recently I did the research and found a similar one (so similar that it likely was made by the same artisan) on Ebay for over $4000 ! I sent a picture of mine to the person who bought the one on EBay and asked what it is worth. He said it would probably be worth at least $4000 and asked if I wanted to sell it. I told him no.

I now have it insured!

I collect Pueblo Indian Pottery.

I visited a number of the Native Americans on the Santa Clara Reservation and the Pueblo of Pojoaque and enjoyed seeing their technique. The pottery is beautiful and the method they use to create the pottery is ancient. Do you have any storytellers? I brought one back with me. They are BEAUTIFUL imho.
reps to the collectors!!

I have a couple of Zia pots from when I lived in ABQ but I could only afford the itty bitty ones.

I mostly collect dust.

But seriously, I collect fabric, rubber stamps and I have a few Snowbabies.
