British Museum

As I said, I finally made it there. Foolishly, it was the first time I'd stepped foot in the place after living in London for nearly 4 years. Amazing, love it and the contemporary Korean Ceramics centre is completely tourist-free and probably one of my new favourite places in London. My only regret is not taking a real life camera as trusty palm friend isn't too keen on taking lots of pictures. Here's a small selection of interesting shaped domestic items from way back.

Greek vessel with tiny comedy handles

Pottery cup with a strap handle. Greek 1800-1550 BC

Chinese serving plate with some kind of crackle glaze & beautiful colours

Greek pottery cup 2900 - 2600 BC Elongated handle looks inviting

Black glazed mug with red bands. Laconian 6th C BC
