Mark Smith, last heard talking bottles on episode #63, returns to explain his other collecting passion: pottery! Take a walk with us through Mark’s private collection and see the astonishing array of 19th century crocks, jugs and butter churns that he has amassed over the years.

You’ll see pieces from a famed Huntington pottery plant, one that changed hands many times over the years. You’ll also hear about the uniquely Long Island penchant for cute (or poignant?) sayings on their ceramics.

And stay tuned for epsiode #100 in one week!
