Ceramics and glass turn up in every Wednesday general sale at Clumber, from a single Moorcroft vase to a whole cabinet of Beswick horses. The market has changed a great deal over the past twenty years, with some once-popular names now very affordable and others, particularly good Art Deco, studio pottery and rare patterns, stronger than ever. Our valuers will tell you honestly which is which.
We photograph marks and bases, note chips, cracks, restoration and crazing in our condition reports, and sell everything as seen, so buyers know what they are getting and sellers get bidders who trust the catalogue. View at the saleroom on weekdays 09:30 to 15:00, or ask us for a condition report by email.
