Here are the impressive collections of many other Tamac enthuisasts.

Directly below are some images of pieces gathered by some generous collectors. Craig McCormick created a wonderful online Tamac Museum that was an inspriation to me and taught me a great deal about the history and variety of Tamac. Danny Blakley had a real passion for the pottery and his widow Debra shared parts of his collection with me and other Tamac fans. Todd in Indiana has many choice pieces.

Joel and Sarah have been collecting for 5 years since they were given a few Tamac pieces at their wedding. I was thrilled that they shared these pics with me and were willing to let me post them. They've managed to find some terrific rare pieces an eagle eye might spy below.

Flower frog and blue ashtray

Many unique pieces like these are not found in catalogs or order forms and are exciting to discover.
