My smashing success

A couple of years ago I was cleaning out the cupboards and set three stacks of Pearlware and Lusterware plates of various patterns on a table. I left the door to the room open a crack when called to dinner, and a cat belonging to a houseguest apparently decided to investigate. I passed the room , saw the cat on the table, and HISSED at it. I'm sure that you know the rest of the story.

I no longer collect these wares.

Oh no! :eek: lol

Someone I know recently smashed a fancy teacup (not particularly old, but with sentimental value), and I suggested saving the pieces. I figure we can come up with a way to incorporate them into a decorative object.

Apparently there are people who intentionally break old china :rage:, and then make stuff out of it: mosaics, jewelry, vases, all kinds of decorative things. IMHO it's an awful thing to do on purpose, but if something slips, might as well keep the design instead of throwing it in a landfill.
