POOLE POTTERY STONEWARE ANIMALS AND BIRDS

As time goes by some aspects of an existing website need to be changed. We have just obtained quite a large quantity of Poole Pottery stoneware animals and birds and will be adding them to the website over the next week or so. 

Previously these stoneware items, mostly designed by Barbara Linley-Adams were listed with our Poole Pottery Decorative Items, but that list has now become too long and unwieldy so we have started a new sub-category headed "POOLE POTTERY STONEWARE ANIMALS AND BIRDS " to make it easier for collectors to see which of these items are currently available. 

For the same reason we will also be adding new sub-category listings for the highly collectable Poole Pottery stoneware plates and the Poole Pottery Dolphin Blue animals.

In the meantime if you want to see the current listing of stoneware animals just click on the following link: Poole Pottery Stoneware Animals but remember that fresh stock will be added over the next week or so.

Enjoy your Poole Pottery collecting.

ROYAL ALBERT OLD COUNTRY ROSES

BUTTER KNIFE

E

Even after all these years in the discontinued tableware business, it is amazing how often I come across an item that I have not seen before. It happened this week when I bought a large quantity of Royal Albert Old Country Roses. Sadly, many of the items turned out to be "seconds" (in fairness Royal Albert seconds are often better than the first quality items produced by modern manufacturers), but at least they were all made in England as opposed to foreign versions often seen. 

In amongst this mixed lot of Old Country Roses, I found this little knife. It is just under 5.5" in length and I can only imagine that it was produced as a butter knife, although I suspect that some knowledgeable reader may correct me on that. It is always fascinating to find something new to me. 

The knife is now available to be purchased on our web site. Click here for details.

POOLE POTTERY STONEWARE

WREN ON STUMP

Poole Pottery produced many stoneware sculptures of animals and birds, most of them lovingly designed by Barbara Linley-Adams.  The wren on the stump is a model that is particularaly sought after by collectors, because it was only produced by Poole Pottery in 1972. The pottery had received feedback from customers and also staff, that the design was a little top heavy and very prone to being knocked over and damaged. The model was therefore redesigned to show the wren sitting on an apple. As a result not many of the original wrens were produced and many collectors do not have this particular item.

At the time of writng this, we have only one of this particular sculpture in stock. For further details, view our web site at http://www.replaceyourchina.com/poole-pottery-decorative-items-12-c.asp

Enjoy your collection of Poole Pottery.
