We often get asked by our clients to tell them how to differentiate between two of the most popular of Poole Pottery's discontinued ranges: Parkstone and Broadstone. In general terms Parkstone has an off-white background with obvious grey speckling. Broadstone has a background that is more of a sandy yellow with less pronounced speckling. The problem is not helped by the fact that the depth of the colouring in the Broadstone seemed to vary slightly with nearly every firing. In fact one worker told me that it could even vary in the same firing, depending upon the position of the item in the kiln. Have a good look at the photographs in our web pages showing Broadstone and Parkstone - hopefully this will help.
At Replace Your China we have just obtained a further supply of Poole Pottery Broadstone including some dinner plates, which are always difficult to obtain. Although, unavoidably, all of these items have been previously owned, they are all in excellent condition and will grace any table setting.
Enjoy your tableware
