The Move is Complete. For South Coast Antiques and the Ceramic Art Pottery of Michael W. Moses.
I am pleased to announce that South Coast Antiques' move is absolutely complete. We moved the majority of the shop over to Centuries Antique Mall in D'Iberville a while back and now my pottery has a home as well. It will be hosted at Antiques Plus at 10340 D'Iberville Blvd Ste D,D'Iberville MS.. Joan Skinner has been a collector of my pottery for a number of years now and she offered to host my pottery at her shop, making her the sole source for my pottery here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
A number of my piece have been displayed in a high-profile mirrored case right inside the main entrance. The hours for Antiques Plus are 10 to 5 Monday through Saturday, which means all of you out-of-towners who need something to do on a Monday, can go over to her shop and look at my pottery, and of course her antiques. Joan is enthusiastic about being my sole source here on the Gulf Coast and you can ask her any time to open the case to have a better look, or to touch my ceramic art pottery. Antiques Plus telephone number: (228) 396-2005.

New shop in D'Iberville "Antiques Plus" and My New Kutani sake cup
Today I went to visit a new shop called "Antiques Plus". It is located at 10340 D'Iberville Blvd. in D'Iberville, MS. I was quite surprised to walk in and find out that it is a new venture for a long time friend of mine Joan Skinner. I was even more surprised to find out that she had just opened this new shop this week! Joan is a well known personage in the antique world here on this part of the Gulf Coast. Joan and I have been aquainted for many years and she has a very nice collection of my ceramic art pottery that she has purchased over the years.
When I first entered the shop I was very impressed with how well lit, and carefully everything in the shop is displayed. In the front part of the shop she has a nice selection of jewelry featuring sterling and better quality costume pieces. The shop has a fine variety of vintage and antique items. In the middle of the shop are smaller rooms on either side that have different consignment antiques, vintage, and collectable items. The back area has a good selection of furniture with everything from a large exuberant black Victorian fireplace mantle to an outrageous vintage, antiqued gilt Chinoiserie curio cabinet.
"Antiques Plus" is the kind of place where one can buy a lot of style at very good prices. I have to admit, I saw quite a number of items that would make really super holiday gifts for that special someone. I just can not understand going out the the mall and picking up some meaningless mass produced product when one can go to an antique shop like this and pick up something that will always be remembered. Antiques and vintage items can make a holiday gift truly special. Also remember that when we purchase cool items from shops like this we are helping the local business person and our community.
I try to buy local when I can. So I have to tell you. I bought a few really cool things at "Antiques Plus" myself. I found a nice little Japanese Kutani sake cup, circa. 1900, the late Meiji period(1868 - 1912. It features a very nice image of an armed archer that has a radiant golden bird(a falcon or a hawk?) in gold over his bow and an inscription around the outside. A lovely little sake cup to add to my collection. When I say little, I mean little. It is only 2 inches across by 1¼ inches tall! I just love the detail in these tiny sake cups. I also found a vintage ivory piece, a beautifully carved large mother of pearl shell, a small Victorian beveled glass and bronze jewel box and a gold overlay Edwardian style sterling bracelet with a central blue crystal.
I will be doing a follow up post with pictures of Joan's shop shortly. D'Iberville is an up and coming area here on the Gulf Coast. They are building a new aquarium and casinos and have just recently finished a new mall. I think Joan has chosen a great location, (right off of I-10) and that she will be having great success at this location. If you have a chance drop in and see her and tell Joan I said, "Hi"!
