What is the best site on Asian Pottery and Ceramics?

Manufacturer of Irish Pottery and ceramics

• I am looking for manufacturers in IRELAND of Irish Pottery and ceramics. I am lookng to find manufacturers who can produce volume ( two - three thousand pieces per month minimum) of different items. The look we are trying to acheive is similar to the look of Nicolas Mosse Pottery ( Nicolas Mosse is not interested in growing his business). We are looking for casserole dishes with and without lids, mugs, plates, bowls, decorative vases, salt and pepper shakers, Pitchers and more. It should all be hand painted. The pottery or ceramics must be oven safe, microwave safe,able to go into the freezer and must be able to pass FDA requirements in the US ( it should preferably pass proposition 65 as well). I am looking to find at least 10 different factories in order to qualify as an answer to this question. I would need the names, addresses, phone #'s and preferably email addresses and websites If you find less than that I would be willing to post another question at a lesser dollar figure

You didn?t make clear exactly what you mean by ?similar to the look of Nicolas Mosse Pottery? so the styles may not be what you?re looking for. ----------------------------------------- http://www.hiberniahandmade.com/artists/ Pottery Geoffrey Healy Michael Jackson Marianne Klopp Sean McCluskey Stephen Pearce Michael Pugh ***** This is another collection of Irish pottery artists/manufacturers.
