Poole Pottery Springtime Tableware


Springtime was one of a number of tableware patterns, designed for Poole Pottery in the "Style" shape. Amongst other popular patterns produced in this shape were Country Lane and Summer Glory.


Springtime was introduced in the 1970's and remained popular for several years. It is difficult to be very accurate about when the production ceased, as even after it was no longer supplied to shops and stores, it was still available for many years from the Poole Pottery shop on Poole Quay. However, what I can say with absolute certainty is that it has not now been manufactured for many years, and has become very difficult to find in any quantity in good condition.


That is one of the reasons that I am so delighted to be able to offer a reasonable quantity of it for sale on our web site at Replace Your China. This latest batch is in excellent condition, and I suspect that much of it has never been used. The only problem I had is that while I was still listing the new stock onto the web site, some of the items that I had listed first were already being sold.


If you are looking for items of Poole Pottery Springtime, make sure that you visit our website before the items are snapped up by somebody else.

Denby Pottery Arabesque


Isn't is strange how some patterns of tableware are popular for a short while but then disappear completely? Other patterns are popular from the outset, but are still loved and sought after, many years after their production has ceased.

Denby Pottery Arabesque in definitely one of the latter. I suppose it is a bit like Marmite really; either you love it or you hate it. It is so striking and unusual that there is no "in between" in feelings about it. Arabesque was designed by Gill Pemberton and went into production in the 1960's and was not discontinued until 1984. Not many of the patterns currently being produced with be in production for a half of that time span.

Despite the fact that it has not been made for nearly a quarter of a century, Arabesque is still much sought after, both by people who use it on a daily basis and by collectors from around the world.

We have just managed to purchase a small amount of Arabesque and as usual much of it has been snapped up almost before we had finished listing in on the website.

If you are looking for items of this lovely set, visit our web site at http://www.replaceyourchina.com/denby-pottery-arabesque-16-c.asp before it all disappears.

Enjoy your tableware.
