Not that it looked so rosy at the ume for George Matheson and Nick Meissner when they found the product of all their work since Christmas hand paimted porcelam teaware | had been stolen just before they had intended selling 11. All the porcelain had been packaged m bores 1 the back of an old panel truck next to the trailer the potiers use as a _ studio behind Meissner’s home at 1059 McNaughton Crescent in North Vancouver. From the sale of the 100 or more pieces, they boped to have the start-up capiial to go mto business. That idea appeared dead when the boxes were stolen from the truck 10 days ago. But now as a result of the News pubhshing an artcle telhng of ther onsfortune and a photo of Matheson and one of his hand painted teapots, the potters not only have most of thei property back but also a string of customers for their work. RCMP in North Van have had several calls from readers who bought sets of the stolen porcelaim and then recogouwed it as being the same as the piece m_ the News photo. Constable Dents Gagnon says he ss umpressed by the honesty of people who have called to return the por celain teasets and ts asking for other people who bought pieces to contact him also Some of the sets already returned came in from restaurants and hotels who had bought them at what seemed lke bargain prices, from two suspects claiming to have made the pieces themselves. Meanwhile. the ROMP have also traced and arrested two suspects in coonecuon with the thefts am have recovered more porcelain items. About three-quarters of the stolen porcelain pieces have been returmed to the potters, together with orders for more of their work Cst. Gagnon says the pottery. hand painted by Matheson, i so beautiful that people who bought it at 25‘ on the dollar now want to buy 1 from the potters at full pnce. Even RCMP officers who have seen it as a result of the pohce mvesuigabon want to buy and Cst. Gagnon says “Everyone who sees if wants to buy it, the quality is just so fantastic ~ The potters had hoped that uf they were able to do well out of selling their first hoe of work they might be able to move out of their present cramped = and broken-down = surroundings and make a living from their work. And from the reaction theur work has received as a result of the theft, it looks as if theyre goimg to have enough orders to keep them busy As Constable Gagnon says “Everything 1s_ really turning thei way It's kind of weird the way it has hap pened but their business ts really going now ~ OVER $600,000 INVENTORY OF PIANOS AND ORGANS.
