We stopped by the Harwinton Antiques and Design Weekend on Sunday, June 7th and saw some outstanding stoneware, including two remarkable Connecticut pieces. It was a wonderful show, set out in the most bucolic setting imaginable, an agricultural fairgrounds. Sadly we have learned since that we had attended the last day of the last Harwinton Antiques Design Weekend, a real loss for Farmington area antiquers.
