About Me

The Rameking: I am not, repeat not a potter, nor do I have an academic interest in ceramics as others do. Like many people, I browse markets, garage sales, second hand and opportunity shops. I gradually accumulated a lot of cheap Australian ceramics, including the odd ramekin. I became more interested in these fascinating little bowls, accumulating hundreds in the process. Most were made by Australian artists, some by quite famous people like Arthur and Guy Boyd. These little bowls are both functional and decorative, recalling a part of our history that is fast disappearing. Unlike a lot of collectors, I am compiling complete pre-loved sets, wherever possible, not just individual pieces. I hope to save them and their stories from oblivion. Lately I have become involved in compiling the history of various brick companies as well.
