This is such a well written article from Jane Prentiss at Skinnerinc.com.  A great introduction for identifying art and stuidio pottery.  http://www.skinnerinc.com/news/blog/how-to-identify-pottery-art-and-studio-pottery-guide/

Since half of #Rustandrelics is located in #Nashville, I thought this would be a great link to share from the fine folks of @roadshowpbs.

This week, like most of America, I dreamed of what I would do if I won a billion dollars (which I decided I would still work....but just work in the antiques field full time).  You may not have won the lottery, but if you have this hidden away in your junk drawer, you won't have to work another day in your life...http://www.auctionnewsnetwork.com/stamps/ultra-rare-stamp-may-realize-20m/9420/

I had heard a podcast about this exact painting recently.  Then I just read the story on Kovels.  Moral of the story....keep your eyes open.  Many professionals saw this and had no idea they were looking at a Rembrandt.  You never know what you may find....
