I just came across this and have to say that when displayed on a wall together the TP collections look amazing. Since the switch to a new supplier was made the melamine has a look of ceramic to it. We sell the ranges in our London shop and most customers cannot tell the difference until they touch the items. The other good thing is that melamine is light so can be attached to the wall easily.

That would be a tad embarrassing. My understanding is these are not actually totally copyright free images, just available to reproduce for non commercial use. Dover publications clip art, really?

There was a pottery factory that made all kinds of crocks, platewear, etc and these are pretty much exactly the same but not pottery. Neat.

I am disappointed now reading some of these comments about the use of clip art. However, when it comes to melamine, it's nice to have such tastefully done options.

In the past, I too have felt the pool/bar-b-q feeling for them, but since unbearable nerve pain in my hands has come about, I can't live without them and their lightweight, easy to clean nature... thank you to all the designers who make my life sans ceramic pretty again!

A lot of his images are taken straight from copyright free Dover publications and printed straight onto plates, totes, pillows etc....but hey! good on him for doing it well and selling lots.
