Johnson Bros, Devonshire Tableware.

This is not a pattern you will see very often. It was discontinued by Johnson Bros many years ago, but still has a certain charm. Our current stock is available to view at https://www.replaceyourchina.com/johnson-bros-devonshire-49…

Johnson Brothers Fresh Fruit

#freshfruit #johnsonbros

Many people seem to be surprised by the quality and good design of many of the Johnson Brothers ranges of tableware. In reality some of the top designers have been involved in the design of many of the patterns. In terms of the discontinued tableware that we offer Fresh Fruit is one of the relatively recent ranges. Just look at the bright colours. You can almost taste the fruits. A lovely set to start your day with or to relax with later in the day.

Enjoy your tableware,

Hornsea Pottery Contrast Tableware

We are always pleased to obtain fresh supplies of Hornsea Pottery Contrast. It is a popular range and one of our favorites. It is hard wearing, looks cool and has won several design awards. What is not to like. Usually, the most difficult items to obtain in Contrast are the dinner plates. I suppose they tend to take harder wear than many of the other items, so we are delighted to be able to offer some Hornsea Contrast dinner plates in very good condition.

Visit our site at https://www.replaceyourchina.com/hornsea-pottery-contrast-22-c.asp

and pick up the Contrast items that you need while we still have them.

Alternatively, if you would like to see what items we have in the multitude of other patterns that we stock, just visit us at https://www.replaceyourchina.com/ and take it from there.

Enjoy your tableware,

Villeroy and Boch, Alt Amsterdam

Alt Amsterdam. What a stunning pattern this is. It is not a range that we have stocked in the past, but having found it once, you can be sure that we will be looking for it again. In fact there is a good chance that we shall clear out our current tableware and replace it with this.

If you would like any of this pattern, you had better order it before my wife buys the lot.

Just follow this link to see the other items of Alt Amsterdam that we have in stock.

Enjoy your tableware.

It is always good to add a range to the website that we have not offered before. This applies to the Royal Worcester Beaufort (Rust) range. We have just obtained some superb items of this very elegant pattern.

I have a feeling that this will sell quite quickly so do not miss the opportunity to purchase some items of Beaufort while we still have it available.

COLCLOUGH HEDGEROW TABLEWARE

I have noticed recently that we have not been stocking very much Colclough tableware. This is a major omission on our part as Colclough produced many lovely patterns that some of our clients will still be requiring. As a result, I have managed to obtain a small amount of tea ware in the Colclough Hedgerow pattern and this is now available on our website at www.replaceyourchina.com

TIPS ON SELLING YOUR TABLEWARE TO A DEALER

At Replace Your China we receive many offers every day from clients who wish to sell us tableware. We are offered far more items than we could possibly deal with, so we have to turn down many of the offers out of hand. However, the following tips may help customers to understand how best to present their offer to sell.

1 When we agree to purchase items, we almost always arrange to collect those items direct from the seller. For this reason, it is vital that the seller tells us at the outset, where the items will need to be collected from. We don't need an address, just sufficient information for us to calculate the cost of the collection - usually a partial post code or name of a town or village will suffice. Without that information, we will have to reject the offer.

2 We only purchase items that are in perfect "as new" condition. Items that are cracked, chipped, scratched, faded or otherwise defective will always be rejected. For that reason, it is important that we are informed as to whether the condition of the items reach that criteria. "Good Condition" just does not do it for us. Without confirmation that the items are in perfect condition, we will have to reject the offer.

3 When offering items for sale, do not tell the prospective buyer that you expect a certain percentage of their sale price. Unless you are in the same business, you have no idea of the seller's business model. The purchase price of stock is often a very small part of the costs of such a business. The business owner(s) have to factor in such costs as staff wages, cost of collection, cost of warehousing, internet costs, security costs, etc etc. If you start off my telling your prospective buyer how much you expect them to pay, you might well just put their backs up and the items will be rejected.

4 When listing the items that you have for sale, try to include sizes those items, so that there can be no confusion about what is on offer.

5 If you ask for quotes from more than one dealer, make sure that you know whether the price quoted includes collection of the goods, or whether you have to arrange delivery. This can make a big difference to you in terms of time, convenience and cost.

I hope that these quick notes are of assistance and as I think of further points, I will add them, but these were the things that sprang to my mind after a frustrating morning trying to sort out dozens of offers that we have received.

Chris Eley

WEDGWOOD BLUE PACIFIC

We are delighted to have added to our website, some fresh items of the Blue Pacific range from Wedgwood. Most of these items are from their Oven to Table range, which is always quite hard to find in good condition. It is now many years since Wedgwood discontinued the production of this range.

Royal Albert Old Country Roses

Probably one of the most popular ranges of tableware ever produced, Old Country Roses was designed for Royal Albert by Harold Holdcroft. It was introduced to the tableware market in 1962.

The Old Country Roses design is based upon a bunch of roses in full bloom. The colouring is rich and vibrant and is set off to perfection by tasteful gilding in 22 carat gold trimming on white bone china.

Over the years an incredible variety of items have been produced by Royal Albert in Old Country roses. As well as every item that you can envisage in tableware presentation, there is also a wide variety of decorative items to compliment the settings, including decorative ceramic swans, clocks, shoes, bells, miniature tea pots and hundreds of other items.

In recent years much of the production of the Old Country Roses has been done abroad. Many of our clients have told us that they are only interested in purchasing items made in England, because of perceived alterations to the pattern and a reduction in quality. For this reason, we only sell items that were manufactured in England.

If you would like to purchase items of this elegant pattern, of if you just wish to view more photographs of sample items, please visit our website at www.replaceyourchina.com

Do not forget to follow us if you would like to see more information about tableware in general and Old Country Roses in particular.

WEDGWOOD FLORENTINE (NAVY)

PATTERN CODE W1956

One of the many successful ranges of tableware produced by the Wedgwood factory was a range called Florentine. It came in several different colour and pattern variations, but one of the most popular was the navy version was Navy. (Pattern Code W1956). We have recently managed to obtain some excellent examples of this range and they are now available to be purchased on our website at Replaceyourchina.com.

ROYAL DOULTON BERKSHIRE

Berkshire was one of the classic Royal Doulton ranges of tableware and many people were disappointed when its production ceased many years ago. It has now become quite difficult to source items of this pattern in good condition.

POOLE POTTERY SUMMER GLORY

Sometimes it is difficult to work out why a particular pattern of tableware has become so popular. That is not the case with Poole Pottery's Summer Glory range.

The soft autumnal colours of Summer Glory give a warm homely feeling at any time of the year and they also work well with modern household decor. The shapes of the pieces are just a little different from many other patterns, making them interesting without being "off the wall".

We were delighted to be able to obtain a further supply of this pattern and many items, including a large number of dinner plates are now available to be purchased on our website at http://www.replaceyourchina.com/poole-pottery-summer-glory-98-c.asp

MARKS AND SPENCER HARVEST CANDLE STICKS

I have commented before on what a wide variety of items have been produced in many of the well known tableware patterns.

One of the prime examples of this phenomenon is the range of Harvest produced for Marks and Spencer. Although it started off as primarily a tableware pattern, there were many items produced that really go far outside that narrow description.

Today we purchased some fresh items of Harvest and amongst them was a pair of candle sticks. there was a pair of lovely candle sticks, decorated in the Harvest pattern . Most of the Harvest was produced for Marks and Spencer by the now defunct (and much missed) Hornsea Pottery.

Keep your eyes open. You will be surprised what items of Harvest you will find.

ROYAL ALBERT OLD COUNTRY ROSES SHOES

One of the joys of collecting certain ranges of ceramics is the great variety of items that are available in some patterns.

One such pattern is Old Country Roses, from Royal Albert. Just when you think you have collected everything, some different item crops up. We have just received a fresh quantity of excellent items from this range and they are available to be purchased on our website at http://www.replaceyourchina.com/royal-albert-old-country-roses-151-c.asp

Amongst this fresh stock are two delightful little china shoes. They measure only about 4.25" long and are in excellent condition. We have included a photograph of the back stamp, so that it can be clearly seen that these are the genuine English made items, not the later range that were made abroad. In fact we only offer items of Old Country Roses that are make in England.

Woods Beryl Tableware

Beryl tableware, produced by Woods, is one of those classic utilitarian ranges that has now entered the collectors market. There is something familiar and cosy about this outdated style that just makes many of us want to own and use it.

Woods discontinued the production of the Beryl range in recent years. Beryl had been manufactured for many years and is often recognised in television period dramas set in the 1960's and 70's. I am afraid that I am one of those sad individuals who will often interrupt family TV viewing to say "Look they are using Beryl tableware". Items have now however are becoming increasingly difficult to find it good condition (perhaps the TV companies have got them all).

At the time of writing, we do have a supply of Woods Beryl items in stock, and available to be viewed and purchased on our website at Replace Your China.

Enjoy your collecting.

POOLE POTTERY BONE CHINA GOLDEN EYE GUINEA PIGS

Poole Pottery produced a range of bone china animals in 1985 and 1986. Most of these were based upon the moulds of animals produced in their stoneware range.

One of the most attractive of this range was the guinea pig. Like most of the items in this range it benefited from having its eyes painted gold, making this range very easily distinguished from those of other manufacturers. The guinea pig was originally modelled by Barbara Linley-Adams, with her usual care and love of the subject. It just under 5" in length and stands just under 2.75" tall.

At the time of going to press we do have one of these guinea pigs, together with many other Poole Pottery decorative items, available for sale on our website at www.replaceyourchina.com/poole-pottery-decorative-items-12-c.asp

Poole Pottery Stoneware Tortoise

2013-04-11T17:38:00.001+01:00

POOLE POTTERY STONEWARE TORTOISE

I must admit that the stoneware animals and birds modelled by Barbara Linley-Adams for Poole Pottery hold a special spot in my heart. I think that these items just show how much the designer loved wildlife. Each model seems to have a life of its own.

Some collectors specialise in the models of birds and some try to collect the whole range that were produced. I like them all, but one of my favourites is the tortoise. When I was a child I had a tortoise and I can still visualise him when I look at Barbara Linley-Adams' creations. These Poole Pottery stoneware masterpieces are approximately 6" long and 2.5" tall. They were produced by Poole Pottery between 1979 and 1989.

Make sure that you have got a Poole Pottery stoneware tortoise in your collection of ornaments.

We currently have just one in stock, so don't blame me if you miss the opportunity to purchase it.

ROYAL DOULTON RONDELAY - FRESH STOCK

There are some patterns that we are always pleased to obtain, providing that they are in excellent condition. One such pattern is Rondelay, produced and now discontinued by Royal Doulton. It is the sort of classic pattern that will never become unfashionable. The pattern code used by Royal Doulton for Rondelay was "H5004" and this is usually printed on the back of items from the pattern.

We have just obtained some items in this lovely pattern, and they are all in superb condition. You may view and purchase them directly from our website at http://www.replaceyourchina.com/royal-doulton-rondelay-h5004-38-c.asp

Alternatively, for those clients who are not comfortable with on-line purchases, we have a 24 hour telephone line available on 01202 600838. When the office is not manned, there is always an answer machine available. Just leave your name, telephone number and any brief message and we will call you back as soon as we are available.

Denby Pottery Arabesque Tableware

2013-03-27T18:20:00.001+00:00

DENBY POTTERY ARABESQUE TABLEWARE

Of all the tableware patterns that we deal with, I still find Denby Pottery's Arabesque to be one of the most intriguing. It was designed by Gill Pemberton in the early 1960's and is said to have been inspired by a visit to Russia. The exotic nature of the design does make this idea quite feasible.

The range of items produced in Arabesque seems to be never ending. Every time we think that we have seen everything, another item or shape turns up. It is also interesting to see the variations in the patterning over the years as the production methods were modernised.

We have just obtained a small quantity of items in this pattern including the much sought after rectangular, divided, lidded vegetable dish. Many items were sold out as soon as they appeared on our website at www.replaceyourchina.com so the interest Denby Pottery's Arabeesque is as strong as ever.

Enjoy your tableware,

Royal Albert Christmas Plates

http://www.replaceyourchina.com/christmas-treats-from-royal-albert-3958-p.asp

Historically we have always concentrated on selling tableware and for that reason we have tended not to offer decorative plates other than the collectable Poole Pottery and Hornsea issues, but we recently had the opportunity to purchase a range of Royal Albert Christmas Plates. I was struck by the quality of the decor on these plates and decided to "give them a go". I then realized that we already had several clients who has asked us to notify them when such plates became available, so some of the plates were sold over the phone before we even put them on to the website.

However, we do still have a few of these lovely Royal Albert plates available and have now started the process of photographing them and adding them to the website. If they might be of interest to you, please view them on our Royal Albert Christmas Plates page. Further plates will be added in the near future.

Enjoy collecting.

INFORMATION SOURCE FOR COLLECTABLES

One of the issues that many of our clients seem to come up against is that they are unable to find information about the particular ranges of collectable items.

The internet is a wonderful tool for research but sometimes, if you are not used to it, it can all seem a bit overwhelming. This is why we were delighted to partially sponser a new and fast growing website dedicated to providing information on collectables. The site is at http://www.accumulations.co.uk/

Although still in its infancy, the site is growing quickly with many visitors every day. . In addition to the information published on the site, there are also some useful links on the the side margin.

As with most of the stoneware animal figurines produced by Poole Pottery, it was designed by Barbar Linley-Adams. It stands approximately 3.8" tall and is in excellent condition. This stoneware sparrow model was only produced from approximately 1980 to 1984.
