Welcome to the homepage of our website!

We buy and sell English china with
the emphasis on transfer-printed
tableware from the 1920s and 30s.

We ship internationally from our base in London, England.

You will find no porcelain on this site ­
We specialise in the quality earthenwares
made by the firms of
Booths and Wood & Sons. 

 We also carry a small stock of selected patterns
by other well-known makers such as:

Adams - Ashworth - Barker Bros
Cauldon - Coalport - Copeland/Spode
Crown Staffordshire - Doulton - Hancock

Keeling & Co (Losol)

Sample images from each of these companies
are shown below down the left-hand side of the screen.

FEATURED
ITEMS

 

BOOTHS
BOOTHS are of course famous for their much-collected Real Old Willow range, not to mention the highly sought-after Scale Blue items that are early C20th reproductions of Worcester pottery.


Booths MING Vase
SOLD


 WOOD & SONS

WOODS are linked with some of Britain's most famed pottery designers, such as Charlotte Rhead, her father Frederick Rhead (designer of the famous Yuan pattern), and Susie Cooper. We specialise in Frederick Rhead's tableware designs produced for Woods between 1912­30, as well as vases and other fancy items, some of which have the Bursley Ware mark


Woods YUAN Vases
SOLD

CAULDON 

The china produced by the firms shown here is highly collectable - the antiques of the future.

Many of the patterns were handcoloured before the final firing, giving them an individuality completely missing from commercial china production today.


UPDATES

Although this site contains THOUSANDS of images of English C19th and C20th china, it represents only a small fraction of our stock.

We do endeavour to update the inventory and photos on a regular basis, but some pages inevitably remain unchanged for many months.

COLLECTORS CORNER

Another way to browse the site. Our stock is listed on this page by item TYPE rather than by MAKER - useful if you collect eggcups or teapots, for instance.

Items are often listed here well in advance of their appearance on the main site.

The Collectors Corner page is in the process of being redesigned. This is a long process - please be patient!
