Hey everybody,
I need feedback on this idea I have.
I was going to make display signs for all of the modern mug makers for use in my collection. I have all my modern mugs displayed by maker. A lot of ceramics companies have merchant signs that you often see displayed with wares at stores. They are usually maybe 5" long by 3" high.
I want to display my collection the same way.
Then I got the idea to contact the mug makers and see if they were interested in this idea, in them producing something for collectors to display with mug collections. Either a small carved sign or ceramic freestanding piece, with their logo. I emailed or spoke to (Truus)Bosko, (Stuckie)Munktiki, (Danny) Tiki Diablo, Gecko, and (Holden) Tiki Farm. A couple of these folks are out fo town right now, but Munktiki, Tiki Diablo, and Tiki Farm all have responded with ideas. Both ceramic, wood, and or resin copies of carvings have been tossed around.
When I contacted them I mentioned that I was sure collectors would be interested in this. I told the mugmakers that I would post on TC, where they could read posts and guage interest, and would contact non TC collectors.
So, please respond and build up this thread with your thoughts. If this idea interests you, lets hear it. It is more likely for these display pieces to come to fruition if the companies know collectors are interested in the idea. I would not recommend contacting the companies directly for as busy as most of them are, being able to come to one place to see responces would be better for them.
Thank you,
TT
