New Stock, Royal Doulton Carnation

Royal Doulton's Carnation pattern is one that we are always pleased to obtain.

We have just purchased a reasonably large consignment of Carnation, which looks to have had very little, if any wear at all. Some of it has been marked by Royal Doulton as "second quality" but frankly, you will need to examine it very carefully to find out why is was so designated. The "seconds" are clearly listed on our web site and are offered at a substantially reduced price.

Already many of these items have sold so do not miss this opportunity to top up your set, or better still, top up Mum's set for Mothers Day.

Just click on Royal Doulton Carnation to view our stock and prices.

Enjoy your tableware,

Regards

Chris

Denby Pottery, Arabesque, Fresh Stock Available

Denby Pottery have produced many designs over the years, but one of the best loved, and most easily recognised is "Arabesque".

It was designed by Gill Pemberton and first introduced in 1964. It was initially called "Samerkand" but this was then changed to "Arabesque". In the USA the pattern continued to be marketed as "Samerkand". Part of the charm of the range is that because the items were hand decorate, the patterning varied with every piece.

Arabesque with its distinctive, brown and gold patterning proved to be so popular that its production continued until 1984.

Replace Your China, is pleased to have been able to obtain a further selection Arabesque for our clients including some quite rare serving items, but do not wait to long to view them as they will soon be sold.

Royal Doulton Pastorale. Fresh Stock

There really is something special about tableware produced by Royal Doulton. It just shouts "Quality" as soon as you see it. Pastorale is one of the many superbly produced patterns from Royal Doulton, that has sadly been discontinued over the years.

It is no longer available from conventional High Street shops. That is why we are delighted to be able to offer some fresh stock of this lovely pattern to our customers, via our web site. Just click on Pastorale to see our current availability list. Make sure that you purchase your requirements while we still have some in stock. The prime pieces will not be available for long.

Poole Pottery Parkstone, Fresh Stock

Parkstone is one of those patterns that has been in high demand ever since I started trading in Poole Pottery many years ago. I suspect that it will remain popular for many years to come.

I am therefore delighted to have been able to purchase a reasonable quantity of this pattern in the last few days, including some of the very elusive dinner plates.

If you are interested in purchasing some of these items make sure that you visit the Parkstone page of the Replace Your China web site as soon as possible. Many of these items will be out of stock again very quickly.

Enjoy your tableware.

Poole Pottery Broadstone - Fresh Stock

Poole Pottery produced a range of patterns in the popular Compact shape. The shape was designed by Robert Jefferson in 1965. Amongst the popular ranges manufactured in this shape were Chestnut, Charcoal, Azure, Broadstone, Parkstone and Lakestone.

Broadstone was one of the most popular of these ranges produced by Poole Pottery and was sold in very large quantities. The pattern is still very much in demand to this day, even though it has not been manufactured for many years. We are therefore delighted to announce that we have just acquired a large quantity of Broadstone tableware, and it is now available on our web site at http://www.replaceyourchina.com/. However, many of these items will doubtless sell very quickly so do not delay in purchasing your requirements.

Have a great Christmas.

MARKS AND SPENCER HARVEST TABLEWARE

Marks and Spencer must be the most familiar of High Street names to most of us. The range of goods that they sell seems to be growing by the day.

One of the most popular ranges of tableware that has ever been sold by Marks and Spencer must surely be the Harvest pattern, manufactured for them by Hornsea Pottery. We always find that it is a good seller when we have it in stock, so I am particularly pleased to announce that we have just obtained a large quantity of this pattern in excellent condition and it is now available for purchase from our web site at Replace Your China web site at http://www.replaceyourchina.com/.

If you are lucky enough to own a set of this lovely Harvest tableware, make sure that you visit the web site and stock up while such excellent items are still available. It will pay to revisit the site over the next week or so, as we hope to be adding still further items shortly, but do not expect them to remain available for long. Just click on this Marks and Spencer Harvest link to view our current stock availability.

Enjoy your tableware,

Regards

ROYAL DOULTON CARNATION (H5084)

I never cease to be amazed by the way things work in this business.

For months I have been searching for quality items of Royal Doulton's beautiful Carnation pattern. Eventually, I had the opportunity to purchase a large quantity of "as new" items and as a result we were able to fill most of our outstanding orders.

Then, as so ofter seems to happen, I was offered another large quantity of Carnation, again in "as new" condition. It was too good an opportunity to miss. This is one of the most popular ranges produced by Royal Doulton and I am delighted to have dinner plates, bowls, cups, saucers etc in stock.

If you have got this beautiful pattern, make sure that you contact us before we have sold out again. I do not expect it to last long.

Regards

Discontinued Tableware from Marks and Spencer

Marks and Spencer is doubtless one of the biggest names in the UK retail business, so it is hardly surprising that they have sold an enormous amount of tableware. However, just like other tableware brands, most of the patterns that they have sold, have now been discontinued.

In typical Marks and Spencer style, many of their brand name patterns have been produced by some of the finest tableware manufacturers in the UK.

Hornsea Pottery were responsible for such patterns as Harvest and Autumn Leaves. Both of these ranges were sold in enormous quantites and are still popular today. In fact, besides the pottery items produced by Hornsea for Marks and Spencer, items such as kitchen scales, linen tableware, and cutlery were also produced in these ranges. We currently have stocks of many of these items available at www.replaceyourchina.com

At a later date Royal Doulton were producing for M & S. They were responsible for some lovely ranges such as Lumiere, Connaught, Felsham, Hampton and Millbrook. Once again all of these patterns have been discontinued.

Now, much of the modern tableware from Marks and Spencer, is produced for them abroad. I suppose that this is hardly surprising when you view the diminishing size of the UK tableware industry. Still, if you are lucky enough to be the proud owner of some of the discontinued ranges, don't be afraid to contact us or visit our web site so that you can top up after breakages or even expand your table settings to cater for any additional guests.

Enjoy your tableware.

Do You Suffer From Stuck Ramekins?

One of the joys of running a china replacement service is the feedback and unexpected messages that one sometimes received from clients.

A previous Poole Pottery client emailed me today and with her permission, I have reproduced the content of her email below:


"Hi Chris,

Two years ago, I bought several ramekin dishes from your pottery replacement service to replace two of mine that had stuck together. I had tried all the recommended separation solutions, but to no avail.
Yesterday, I came across my 2 original dishes and tried again to separate them and, to my delight, they almost flew apart. I had left them for about 18 months with the residue of vegetable oil that I had used to try to ease them apart and it had crusted around the upper dish and must have eventually seeped through where they were stuck firmly together, thus lubricating them.
Just thought that you could pass on this to anyone else who has the same problem.
Best wishes.
Susan"

At first I thought to myself that the advise was unlikely to come in handy, but when I thought a bit further, I decided that at some time or other most of us must have come across a situation where one ceramic items was jammed inside another. I remember having to carefully smash a ceramic flower pot in order to retrieve a bowl that had become jammed inside. Never again, I will just soak it in vegetable oil for two years.

Any useful tips are always gratefully received. Just add them to the "Comments" section.

Regards
Chris
