"So displaying your collection depends on what you're collecting, how you want to display it you might want to use these shelf plate racks here. They're very inexpensive you can find them in a wide range of sizes and shapes for depending on the size of your pieces. These are nice for a stand up that can be adjusted to a very large piece to a very small piece. This one is actually too small, you don't want this rack to take away from your piece so I would recommend that you would try using something a little bit larger. You can take these and expand on them there's not a lot of room here but I'm going to try to expand this and I'll show you how you can put a much larger piece. Even a piece that is like this a bowl you can actually set your bowl in here and it will display nicely with a rack like this. So you got a very wide piece here that can be displayed with an adjustable rack like this. Pretty inexpensive way to display your pieces when you have a flat piece like plates you can just display them on the walls, they have wall rack pieces that you can buy that are wire like this that fit around the outside corners of your plates. Those are a great way to display your pieces on the wall, there's a lot of flat pieces like this people might choose to just coordinate the colors, you may decide to buy all seaweed patterns, all corn patterns, or all a leaf patterns. In the same types of variety like yellows and greens and you might want to go with pinks and browns, there's a huge selection of color in majolica. So you might choose to just do pitchers or you might want to do just plates but you can display them all in a group on a step back cupboard or an open shelf that's on your wall. Or there are a number of ways you can display them throughout your house on your side tables, so it's pretty much up to the space that you have available and the size of your collection."
