Football day so I thought I would get my offering in to you early, Forest Green play Crawley Town at home today and hopefully maintain our position at the top of the league.
I just love pottery but it has to be a specific maker and period. I expect you've all heard about Royal Doulton, but what I like is Doulton in their early years.
This is Doulton Lambeth, produced in Lambeth, London where my Father was born, and the period is 1850 to about 1920. The pottery is all had made and in particular hand decorated by many famous artists of the time. The 2 most famous are Hannah Barlow, well known for her animal pictures, and George Tinworth one of the greatest artist of his time.
Unfortunately I haven't got a piece from either of them, they are very expensive and rare, but I keep looking. This is a small selection and they range from these to earlier work like drain pipes and wall tiles.
Yes I'm more than happy for you to call me the Potty Lady Magpie. Keep smiling.
Wonderful display - I also love Pottery too , and eyeing your collection I love the tall cylindrical blue vase with a piped floral pattern around its top ,5th from the right on the top shelf . , would go beautifully on my fire-place !!!!!!!!( just a hint !! )
Half the fun is in the quest! When my mother in law died, I catalogued all the Siamese jewelry she had gathered over the years, giving purpose to her exploring garage sales and estate sales. I only ever saw her wear a couple of the pieces. It was all about the quest. 432 pieces!
Very handsome pieces Heather. My favourite is the one just behind the shallow blue dish on the bottom shelf. It’s good to have an interest like this & if it takes you into the antique & sale rooms even better!
Its so fun to collect and know a lot about things like pottery, nice collection here and I hope one day you get either a Hannah Barlow or a GeorgeTinworth!

I didn't read your narrative carefully enough...
