Misconceptions

Misconceptions lead to misinformation. Misinformation spreads like an out of control wildfire and is nearly impossible to get back into control or in this case having the real information corrected. Over time the misinformation grows to be truth.

Misconception #1 One of the biggest misconceptions in the Blue Mountain Pottery is that any pottery piece in green glaze is Blue Mountain. Just off the top of my head I could name at least 6 other potteries that used a very similar green glaze, was it to copy the BMP popularity?, a chance to gain an advantage in the market? Only the potteries could actually answer these questions.

Misconception #2 It has come to my attention that certain Collector Club members assume that this website and blog are part of their club. This I can answer, this web site and blog are not connected to any club or other website. This is a personal website and some contributions are from Collectors Club members from their own collection, not all collectors need to belong to a club or associate with any club. Information published on this website is from many years and hours of research, searching for information through personal connections and interviewing many people previously associated with Blue Mountain Pottery and other potteries of the same area.

Misconception #3 Again certain members of the Collectors Club believe that any new information, hard to find items or photos belong to their club. Again another erroneous assumption by a few certain people. Any information obtained from research in my possession is my personal property, nothing has been copied or obtained without proper consent or provided by the actual owner of such information or content.

Misconception #4 Copying any content, photos or other material from this website or any website without proper consent is Copyright Infringement by any means such as direct copying or manipulation of photos or content.

It has come to my attention that the catalog proofs loaned out for the Collector Club convention are now gracing the pages of another website as photos taken at the convention. Obtaining proper consent to publish these photos would have been a nice gesture instead of just posting on the site and passing on misinformation as to whom the actual owner of these proofs is. Any and all information on this site is published for informational purposes for all, any content or photos used on another website should have consent for use and credit to the owner of the content.
