Handmade, Hand Painted Ceramics for MarketFriday
There are still some unposted handmade, hand painted ceramics photos from the last craft market and I'd like to post them now, before the Christmas photos.
Let's start with this big red and white plate with floral motives. I tried to imagine how I would start to paint a plate like that, how I would establish the proportions but it's not easy, it takes a lot of practice and hard work.
This one is even harder to paint but I love it, might buy one in the near future. @melinda010100, I've found some shoes for you :) It's just these have holes, but also have shoelaces :)
Below the plate there are fridge magnets of all kind, you can choose a bell, some wooden shoes, which is not typical, it's the modern world influence, jugs, pitchers.
Another beautiful plate with floral design.
Last time, when I saw these products, my heart was aching that I could not buy anything. This time I came home with a wonderful red and white painted mug.
Now I have another cool pencil holder for my drawing pencils.
These are also very nice products, the brown and black combination is perfect in my humble opinion, very rustic. Unfortunately I don't have any, but it's not too late.
Small coffee cups with wooden holders, which can be useful if you have enough place in your kitchen. In that big bowl you can see some ceramic whistles in water. I'm not sure why were these in the water, I suppose it has something to do with the sound of the whistle. Maybe it sounds better if it's wet.
Now comes the fun part! Some of these products are on my bucket list :) I'd love a wooden spoon holder but I'm not sure of which type it would fit in my kitchen, I tend to believe that not these. Although, I could buy more than one, why not? Bowls and trays are also welcome :)
A butter holder would also be nice.
What would you choose from here? I'd love one or two wooden spoon holders and some brown-black bowls.
Colorful gradient bowls for serving pickles or anything you want.
Bowls, plates and shoes that can serve as flower pot. These are also on my list.

Thank you very much @pixresteemer.
Oh, yes!! You really have some beautiful #MarketFriday crafts to show off!! I could walk away a happy woman with almost any one of these things!
I love your selection for your pencils. Nice pattern without being too ostentatious! A nice choice and the colors are perfect. I too like the brown and black combination, it is a truly rustic look and I tend to like them very delicate or very rustic. Such a huge disparity of likes, no? I stand in awe at the talent these artists have, hand painting the ceramics! I am so very untalented when it comes to that, it is pathetic. Makes me wonder how one person can be so talented and the next (like me) be so useless as a painter! LOL
I do love spoon rests. They are pretty and take away the mess I leave behind otherwise. I was looking at the rooster water pitcher (or chicken?) and I have a couple of those so was excited to check out the bottom to see where I got them. Italy. I wouldn't have been able to tell without looking at the bottom. I love those pieces though. I really loved living in Europe and going to their Markets like this. Sigh I miss it, but, I remember missing family when I lived there... We always want what we don't have, true???
Those butter dishes are a must-have. I love mine and am always afraid I will drop it! As usual, you have an amazing post! Thank you so much, my dear!
Upped and Steemed

edit: I just found I never hit post on this! :( Sorry!! I upped the tip for my error! xoxo
Thank you again dear Denise, for this lovely comment! You're always spoiling me with nice words :)
Spoon rests are something I'm planning to buy asap! Now that I know these exist, just realized I need one, or two, or more :D The butter dish is also something I would need, the only problem is that these are heavy. I'd rather buy porcelain, but those are pricy :D I know, I know :))
Anyway, the new post is out, I hope you can find some goodies for yourself. Happy Thanksgiving and have a nice weekend!
Thank you! I'll go hunt it out. I failed to put out #MarketFriday last night because I was tired and went to bed instead! ;)
Thank you, my friend!

No problem, it's all sorted now :)
Yes! Thank you!

OK.... So I am loving everything in your photos, but am actually drooling over that first plate! I really love those mugs, too. What a great idea to use one for your drawing pencils!
Thank you very much Melinda! I was convinced you'd love the boots for flowers but your first love is always the plates :)
Those are gorgeous obviously. I had a neighbor, she had her kitchen walls decorated with hand painted plates. The walls were full.
I'm going to buy more of these I guess, I want some bowls now. The pensil holder looks great on my desk, it motivates me.
I always love the boots. I would love having one planted full of flowers on my deck. There are so many things there that I would just love to have. There are so many beautiful plates, and those bowls look great especially those shallow brown and black bowls. They remind me of two that I bought when I was in Portugal that I use all the time. They are my favorites to eat out of.
And a spoon holder, I'd love one of those too! I've been thinking that I need to get a new set of coffee mugs, or in my case they would be tea mugs, since I don't drink coffee. And those would be real Treasures to have.
If I could load a big box with these and send it to you ...
The coffee or tea mug is only for decorative purposes I guess. I tried to use my mug for two days, I was having a tea when I realized this is not for daily use. The ceramic is too porous and let's the water out a bit. So that's why my mug is now used as a pencil holder :)
Ah! Well it is good for pencils, then, but would have been disappointing if you had bought them to use to serve a hot beverage in!
Maybe you just need to come visit and bring me a plate in your suitcase!
Yeah, sure, let me get my passport and book a flight 😁✈️
Well, I have to ask next time about this leaking problem. Maybe they have a solution.
I would think they would be aware of the problem. I don't know what you could possibly do to seal those mugs.
Maybe someday we can actually do a visit!
Let's hope so!
The tiny ceramic shoes looks really cute!
Those would not fit your feet darling :)
Thanks for using eSteem!

I mustn't go to one of your markets. Didn't see much I wouldn't buy. Glad that craft like this is still around as i haven't seen hand made stuff like this for years. The Chinese influence is everywhere and very few things are hand made today.
Tell me about it! Every time I go to a market like this I have to control myself :) The Chinese influence is present here as well, but these craft markets are held four times a year and as you can see, you can buy a lot of very beautiful stuff.
I'm a regular when it comes to MarketFriday and always post something a lot of people have never seen :)
Now I'm waiting for the Christmas market so I can take like 400 - 500 photos so I can have material for MarketFriday for two months :)
I used to go to the Christmas market in Lille ,France every year. I do miss that lifestyle. Look forward to the photos and please take some of the food as well.
Aww, you're going to regret it 😁
Homemade chocolate, Turkish delight, gingerbread, loft bread and pretty much everything 😂
That is just mean. Cant wait for those to see how much I am really missing. They start fairly soon with the Christmas ones.
Mean? Wait and see 😀 I'm always making people drooling over the market products I'm posting.
I expect the Christmas market to start after the 10th of December or so, we'll see. Will let you know.
amazing things !!!! I wonder, are these painted large plates just for beauty, or are people eating from them?
Back in the day, these were used on a daily bases, that's how this great craft tradition was kept alive. However, these plates and ceramics are more heaviers thatn fine china, more breakable. You can use them but only with care. I have a big plate like the one on the first photo and use it to store fruits on my kitchen table. The cups howerer leak, I wanted to drink tea and the bottom of the cup got wet.
I'm glad we still have this art of pottery. I really like Korund objects. I have a few.
Thank you for showing them to the world. Deserve!
I just saw I didn't reply to a few comments, among which is yours too. I'm sorry for that.
Thank you for the nice comment, looks like we all like this kind of art and I'm glad it continues without being forgotten. I'm going to post these artworks, looks like people like them. Have a nice weekend and thanks again for stopping by.
My pleasure, @ericah! ... and thank you. I'm answering so much delay because I was away for a week. Sorry.
No problem, don't worry about that, we are all busy, it happens all the time :)
Thanks for understanding.
