Royal Doulton, Strawberry Cream


Royal Doulton, Strawberry Cream

The nature of sourcing discontinued tableware is that the most requested patterns are often the ones that we can find most easily. I have always assumed that this is because those are the patterns that were produced in greatest quantities (in order to satisfy the initial demand) and that therefore there is a greater reservoir available of previously owned pieces.

Royal Doulton Strawberry Cream is one of the patterns that seems to defy that logic. We are often asked for it but we seldom manage to locate it. Perhaps the production run was shorter than with many other Royal Doulton tableware patterns.

Whatever the reason, Strawberry Cream is very difficult to find. We are therefore delighted to be able to offer our clients a small selection of this discontinued pattern, in very good condition.

To view the availability of Straberry Cream just visit our web site at Replace Your China

Do not leave your visit too long though as it may get sold quite quickly.

Enjoy your tableware,

HORNSEA POTTERY CORNROSE


Hornsea Pottery produced the Cornrose pattern from 1978 to 1986. The range of items produced was very extensive and the fully vitrified product became extremely popular. The pattern of cornrose poppies was, and still is, very attractive, and this was combined with a glaze that was long lasting and wear resistant. Many of the items that we now stock, look to be brand new, which is quite remarkable when you consider that they are at least 25 years old.
Visit our web site at www.replaceyourchina.com to see the range that we currently have in stock.

Enjoy your tableware,

Poole Pottery Fresco


Fresco was introduced by Poole Pottery in 1997. It's hand painted, brushed slip look became instantly popular. It was designed by Rachel Barker and Andrew Brickett. Customers were able to choose from a variety of rim colours including terracotta, yellow, blue and green. Many admirers plumped for a mixture of the colours.

The production run of Fresco was relatively short and many people were unable to complete their collections before new items became unobtainable. We seldom seem to get the opportunity to offer these items to our clients and are delighted to have some in stock at this time. Visit our website at Replace Your China to see what is currently available, but don't leave it too long as this stock will quickly be sold.

Enjoy your tableware,

Barbara Linley Adams, Poole Pottery British Garden Birds





In 1978 Poole Pottery issued a series of plates designed by Barbara Linley Adams and entitled "British Garden Birds". These beautiful stoneware plates depicted images, in relief, of some of Britains favourite garden birds including The Blackbird, The Robin, The Blue Tit, The Song Thrush, The Swallow and The Wren. Each of these plates was issued in a limited edition of 5000 and its individual number and additional information it clearly marked on the reverse of the plate.

Like most of Barbara Linley Adams work, these plates have now become hotly collected. Look out for them. They are both a joy for the present and an investement for the future.

View some of these plates, and other Poole Pottery decorative items on our website

Good Hunting,

Poole Pottery "The Four Seasons" Wall Plaques


Many Poole Pottery collectors still look upon the collection of stoneware animals, dishes and plates as being amongst the very best of items produced by this prestigious company.

Many of these items were designed by Barbara Linley Adams, whose expertise and attention to detail showed how much she loved the subject matter that she was depicting in these items.

Some of the most evocative and collected of her work were the Four Seasons wall plaques with British birds shown in relief for each of the seasons of the year.

To view these magnificent creations visit our decorative Poole Pottery web page at Replace Your China

Enjoy collecting your Poole Pottery,

Royal Albert, Old Country Roses


Royal Albert Bone China was first produced in the late nineteenth century by a company called Thomas C Wild and Sons, in Staffordshire. Over the years they were quite prolific in the number of quality patterns of tableware that they produced. Eventually they became part of Royal Doulton.

Possibly the best known of the patterns produced by Royal Albert, is Old Country Roses. A wide range of tableware items were produced in this lovely pattern and it is now sought after by collectors world wide. In recent years, the production has been moved abroad, but most serious collectors are only interested in items produced in England, believing them to be of a higher quality.

We have been fortunate to acquire an amount of the English made Old Country Roses in excellent condition, and it can be viewed on our web site at www.replaceyourchina.com
Further items will be added to the site in the near future.

Enjoy your tableware

Poole Pottery Nasturtium


Nasturtium tableware was designed for Poole Pottery by Bryony Langworth. The pattern was introduced to the market in 1991. Its vibrant colours make it very distinctive and it is much loved by its many collectors. Unfortunately, its production was relatively short and pieces have now become very hard to find. We were delighted to obtain a reasonable quantity of it recently in good condition and it is now offered for Check Spellingsale at our web site at Replace Your China.

If you wish to view the photographs of this lovely pattern, I suggest that you visit the site fairly soon as I do not expect it to remain in stock for long.

Enjoy your tableware.

Poole Pottery Twintone Mushroom and Sepia (C54)


Poole Pottery produced many colour combinations in their Twintone ranges. One of the most popular of those was Mushroom and Sepia (pattern code C54). Poole started producing this range before the Second World War, and then reintroduced it in the 1950's. Production continued until the early 80's.
The earlier production was in the Streamline shapes, very evocative of the period and still very much appreciated to this day. Later production was in the Contour shape, designed by Robert Jefferson.
We have recently obtained a quantity of items in Mushroom and Sepia and they can be seen at our web site by clicking here. Included are some really very attractive and unusual shells and early cheese dishes. Well worth a look.

Enjoy your tableware.

Denby Pottery Daybreak


Denby Pottery introduced the Daybreak pattern in about 1983 as part of the Sherwood Collection. Other patterns in this collection included Imperial Blue, Damask, Maplewood, Images, Blue Dawn and Summerfields. Rather ironically it did not include the Sherwood pattern which had, of course, been discontinued many years previously. The shapes of this range were designed by Robin Pavitt.

I think that one of the appeals of Daybreak is that although it has a quite distinctive pattern, the patterning is rather understated and subdued, so that you do not get fed up with it when eating your meals from it every day. Certainly we find that at Replace Your China we are constantly asked for Denby Daybreak even 26 years after its first manufacture.

That is why we are delighted to be able to announce that we have just obtained a fresh quantity of this range in excellent condition. Just click on Denby Daybreak to view items that we currently have for sale.

Enjoy your tableware.
