I use a lot of matt glazed architectural pottery in my home décor—I especially love McCoy and Haeger. Though this type of pottery often comes in really beautiful craftsman style colors like green and yellow, my favorite pieces are the ones that come in shades of biscuit white.
The great thing about these pieces is that they are not only inexpensive, but they come in a range of shapes and sizes, making them great for building collections. Also you can go for the functional ones that you can use in your kitchen (think bowls and pitchers…) or you can get a large collection and use them as display pieces in your living room.
Haeger especially is great because there is so much out there. You can find really great pieces on eBay or you might even stumble on some at a thrift store or a garage sale.
I really see these pieces as great fall accents, especially the off-white, earth green and soft yellow ones.
Here are some examples of accent pieces that will be great to spice up your rooms for the fall!
On a random side note…I’ve recently been getting inspired by Josef Frank pieces. He has some amazing furniture…his cabinetry in particular is beautiful. He uses these great exotic woods that I LOVE…he’s also designed some great textile prints which you can find at Svenskt Tenn an amazing shop in Sweden that has a very rich history—a must stop destination if you ever find yourself in Stockholm!
