I found this gallery just walking by on a Saturday afternoon hoping to score some amazing antique pottery. But I didn't find anything until I saw the storefront of Terra. I was immediately drawn in by the array of quality artist that was represented there. I have a thing for tea pots, not just for decoration, I actually use them every day I'm home and I'm always on the lookout for something special and they had three something special in their store. At first I bought the gold tea pot with the white lid, when I was purchasing the item, another tea pot, the white porcelain one caught my eye and for a moment I almost thought of buying that one, but I thought the gold one was just a bit more unique for my collection. When I got back to my hotel, the white porcelain tea pot wouldn't leave me and I decided I had to have it, but, I leave on Tuesday morning and they aren't open til Wednesday! I quickly emailed the shop asking if there was any chance I could purchase the teapot and they replied quickly and agreed to be there Monday at 10:00, I was relieved. When I got there, I spoke to the owner who is also an artist and asked to see her pieces. She showed me the collaboration she was doing with a Chinese artist and guess what, she had a beautiful teapot, so I had to get that one too. Having written all about teapots here, they have an amazing collection of abstract pieces too, if only I had a bigger piggy bank. read more
