More UK sites - whew!

The Axis Artist Database for UK Artists:

The Axis Artist Database for UK Artists has a new and lo-ong url. It
still works to enter the old url:

or the shorter:

Both of these should redirect you to the long url. (The redirect wasn't
working until very recently.)
The search utility shows 104 --pages-- of photos of ceramics pieces by
British artists!

Axis is hosted by Visual Associations:

There is some similarity in the two sites, but it is stated that the VA
site has more work by artists than even the Axis site.

Birmingham Museums & Art Gallery

This organization is putting a large body of work online.There are many
pieces with up to five enlargeable angles of view.Click "Collections" or
"Picture Library" for search engine.Use terms like "pottery", "ceramic",
"stoneware", "vase", or "Cardew" to search for ceramic pieces in the
collection.It's useful to realize that the search results tend to come
up with pieces composed of materials other than the one typed in the
search box because the text in the body of the description given with
the enlargement of the thumbnail image contains the search term, even
though the brief thumbnail text does not.

I haven't put the above in any particular order.

Ahem! This is all the UK material I have for the moment.
