We buy and sell English china from the 1920s and 30s and ship
worldwide from our base in London, UK. You will find no porcelain
on this site ­ we specialise in the quality earthenwares made by the
firms of Booths and Wood & Sons. 

Adams - Ashworth - Barker Bros
Cauldon - Coalport - Copeland/Spode
Crown Staffordshire - Doulton
Hancock - Keeling & Co (Losol)

To browse patterns by any of the manufacturers below left,
click on the IMAGE of the company whose page(s) you wish to visit.
Each maker has its own gallery of patterns from which you can select
the ones you wish to view.

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 20th century reproductions of Worcester pottery.

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

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 19th and 20th century 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.

For details of new items, always check the Latest Updates page.

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!
