The potters of the Mid 19th century experimented in the most amazing shapes and glazes.
Lucky for us so many examples survived the changing times.
I wonder what the artist’s of that time would think of how I transform them.
I could not resist this pair, perfect for this time of year. There shape, chunky and round,
just like the pumpkins we have been decorating our homes with.
I paired them with a great paper made with leaves running throughout.
Bring a bit of nature indoors to make you smile.



Shandell's is the creative home of me, Susan Schneider, a longtime collector of things vintage with a passion for recycling them into things that make you smile. Shandell's, a working lampshade and vintage lighting studio, has just relocated to 2976 Church Street, Pine Plains, NY 12567. I draw on a collection of thousands of unique handmade papers, antique wallpapers and other very special materials in my work. We will be open by chance or appointment.
