Poole Pottery Stoneware Tortoise

POOLE POTTERY STONEWARE TORTOISE

I must admit that the stoneware animals and birds modelled by Barbara Linley-Adams for Poole Pottery hold a special spot in my heart. I think that these items just show how much the designer loved wildlife. Each model seems to have a life of its own. 

Some collectors specialise in the models of birds and some try to collect the whole range that were produced. I like them all, but one of my favourites is the tortoise. When I was a child I had a tortoise and I can still visualise him when I look at Barbara Linley-Adams' creations. These Poole Pottery  stoneware masterpieces are approximately 6" long and 2.5" tall. They were produced by Poole Pottery between 1979 and 1989. 

Make sure that you have got a Poole Pottery stoneware tortoise in your collection of ornaments. 

We currently have just one in stock, so don't blame me if you miss the opportunity to purchase it.

ROYAL DOULTON RONDELAY - FRESH STOCK

There are some patterns that we are always pleased to obtain, providing that they are in excellent condition. One such pattern is Rondelay, produced and now discontinued by Royal Doulton. It is the sort of classic pattern that will never become unfashionable. The  pattern code used by Royal Doulton for Rondelay was "H5004" and this is usually printed on the back of items from the pattern. 

We have just obtained some items in this lovely pattern, and they are all in superb condition. You may view and purchase them directly from our website at http://www.replaceyourchina.com/royal-doulton-rondelay-h5004-38-c.asp 

Alternatively, for those clients who are not comfortable with on-line purchases, we have a 24 hour telephone line available on 01202 600838. When the office is not manned, there is always an answer machine available. Just leave your name, telephone number and any brief message and we will call you back as soon as we are available. 

Enjoy your tableware,

Denby Pottery Arabesque Tableware

DENBY POTTERY ARABESQUE TABLEWARE

Of all the tableware patterns that we deal with, I still find Denby Pottery's Arabesque to be one of the most intriguing. It was designed by Gill Pemberton in the early 1960's and is said to have been inspired by a visit to Russia. The exotic nature of the design does make this idea quite feasible. 

The range of items produced in Arabesque seems to be never ending. Every time we think that we have seen everything, another item or shape turns up. It is also interesting to see the variations in the patterning over the years as the production methods were modernised. 

We have just obtained a small quantity of items in this pattern including the much sought after rectangular, divided, lidded vegetable dish. Many items were sold out as soon as they appeared on our website at www.replaceyourchina.com so the interest Denby Pottery's Arabeesque is as strong as ever.

Enjoy your tableware,

Royal Albert Christmas Plates

http://www.replaceyourchina.com/christmas-treats-from-royal-albert-3958-p.asp

Historically we have always concentrated on selling tableware and for that reason we have tended not to offer decorative plates  other than the collectable Poole Pottery and Hornsea issues, but we recently had the opportunity to purchase a range of Royal Albert Christmas Plates. I was struck by the quality of the decor on these plates and decided to "give them a go". I then realized that we already had several clients who has asked us to notify them when such plates became available, so some of the plates were sold over the phone before we even put them on to the website. 

However, we do still have a few of these lovely Royal Albert  plates available and have now started the process of photographing them and adding them to the website. If they might be of interest to you, please view them on our Royal Albert Christmas Plates page. Further plates will be added in the near future.

Enjoy collecting.

INFORMATION SOURCE FOR COLLECTABLES

One of the issues that many of our clients seem to come up against is that they are unable to find information about the particular ranges of collectable items. 

The internet is a wonderful tool for research but sometimes, if you are not used to it, it can all seem a bit overwhelming. This is why we were delighted to partially sponser a new and fast growing website dedicated to providing information on collectables. The site is at http://www.accumulations.co.uk/

Although still in its infancy, the site is growing quickly with many visitors every day. . In addition to the information published on the site, there are also some useful links on the the side margin.

POOLE POTTERY STONEWARE, SPARROW ON A WHEAT EAR

We have recently obtained this lovely Poole Pottery stoneware model of a sparrow, perched on a ear of wheat. It is one of the less common items from this range and is quite difficult to find in such good condition. 

As with most of the stoneware animal figurines produced by Poole Pottery, it was designed by Barbar Linley-Adams. It stands approximately 3.8" tall and is in excellent condition. This stoneware sparrow model was only produced from approximately 1980 to 1984.

HARVEST TABLEWARE FROM MARKS AND SPENCER 

Marks and Spencer sold the Harvest range of tableware for many years. Although the bulk of the pottery items were produced for them by Hornsea Pottery, there were also other manufacturers who produced particular items. This resulted in an enormous and varied range of tableware, serving ware and decorative items all produced under the same general pattern. 

We have now been selling this range for about 20 years so you would think that we had seen all of the variations by now. Not so however.  Items that we purchased this week in immaculate condition, included some serving ware with a khaki/brown base, presumable to provide additional protection for oven to tableware items. We have also come up with a long handled, melamine, large straining bowl - a very attractive piece. 

Just click on Harvest stock to view all of our current range, but call back again in a few days as  we still have further items that we will add as soon as possible.

Best regards,

POOLE POTTERY STONEWARE QUAIL

You only need to look at any of the stoneware animals that Barbara Linley Adams modelled for Poole Pottery to see her love of the subject. There just seems to be some special life and passion that she put into her work. 

Poole Pottery produced Barbara's quail model from about 1974 to 1981. The model stands approximately five inches tall. It is quite hard to find in good condition and it is such a lovely piece that when we get one in stock, I usually have some misgivings when it has to be sold.

That said, I sell these items for a living so sell it I must. It is currently available to be purchased on our website. If you would like to view it click on Poole Pottery Stoneware Quail

Enjoy your collecting.

ROYAL DOULTON CAMELOT

Royal Doulton have produced and discontinued an incredible number of tableware patterns over the years, and in fairness, many of them have been forgotten about and we certainly never get asked for them. However, there are some patterns that have not been manufactured for many years and yet are still used and loved in many households.

One such pattern in Camelot, pattern code TC1016. It ranks along side Burgundy, Larchmont, Sonnet, and others as being a classic of its time and a joy for future times. Camelot's simple classic style did not prevent the designers from including a wide range of products to cater for all of a households tableware needs. 

We are delighted to have purchased a range of items in the Camelot pattern in excellent condition and we have made them available on our website at Replace Your China.

Enjoy your tableware.

JOHNSON BROS, ETERNAL BEAU

Eternal Beau is probably one of the most readily recognised of all of the hundreds of tableware patterns produced by Johnson Brothers. Its octagonal shape was a trend setter in its day and I can still remember how several of my elderly relations stocked up on it and thought it was wonderful. 

Unfortunately, Johnson Bros (or Wedgwood who took over Johnson Bros) discontinued the range many years ago and it is now difficult to find items that are in good condition. They particularly seemed to suffer from chips to the underside of the corners of the plates - I suspect they got bashed against taps when being washed up. 

We currently have some nice examples of this range in stock so if you want to top up your supplies, click her to visit our website and view our supply of Eternal Beau.

Enjoy your tableware,
