Bloody irish pottery

[pandarific]

I know IABU, but we have received a few gifts of it recently and my god it is ugly. Colm de ris and louis mulcahy have a lot to answer for.

Anyone want a pair of - exceptionally useful! - goblets, or a vase that looks like it's been sat on by an elephant?

Pics?

I can't, Melon. Too outing - but if a quick Google will bring up delights such as THIS. What it is, you may ask? Why it's a Viking dish. Obviously.

Personally I love Irish pottery but each to their own XD

No idea what's going on with that dish thingy though...what the hell are you supposed to do with it, exactly?

God that's vile

Do you have kids or pets? Wagging tails and rampant toddlers are notorious for knocking stuff over...
