Including:
Eighteenth Century Continental porcelain from Meissen, Sevrés, Chantilly, Saint Cloud, Mennecy, Nyon, The Hague, Vienna, Limbach, Doccia, Capodimonte, plus English Eighteenth Century from Bow, Chelsea, Derby, Worcester, Liverpool, and Lowerstoft..
The Nineteenth Century includes Minton, Swansea, Chamberlains, and numerous other Staffordshire porcelain makers.
There’s a great selection of Pottery of all descriptions, from early 18th century Dutch Delft to a herd of Staffordshire Elephants.
Carefully collected themes include 20 tea canisters, more than 20 jugs, and a tribute to the newly attributed ‘Factory X’ - Keeling - and ‘Factory Z’ - Wolfe.
We take a special look at the 'superstars' of the late 18th century/ early 19th century porcelain world with some superb examples of the big names: James Giles is complemented by his latter equivalent, Thomas Baxter, who sits alongside his contemporary early 19th century ceramic artist, William Billingsley. All the big names in one place at one time, a true block-buster!
Many items are documentary, with a Swansea plate extending the highest known pattern number by 16, several fresh attributions to Miles Mason, Thomas Wolfe, his brother George, and Machin.
Antiquities include Thai stonewares, early Chinese bronzes, and a collection of fascinating Pre-Columbian pottery.
Plus many, many more pieces, all awaiting new custodians....
Come along and enjoy!
