Born in Salisbury,England, educated in Canada and the United States, I now reside in the Pacific Northwest (Washington State).I have been an antique dealer and collector for over 40 years specializing in rare and early Doulton. I worked for Royal Doulton in the 80's as their historical consultant and instigated the formation of the RDICC heading it up here in the US for many years (some of you may remember me as "The Doulton Lady"). I have an extensive inventory of all types of Doulton as well as other quality English art pottery and collectables.
MY SPECIALTIES
All types of Doulton including lady and character figures, character and toby jugs, animal figures, flambe, art pottery, advertising ware plus much, much more. I also have an extensive inventory of other English Potteries including Royal Worcester, Wedgwood, Moorcroft, Derby,Royale Stafford, etc. English Enamel Boxes (Halcyon Days & Crummle), Vestas, Commemorative Ware and medals and early English Silver items.Old high quality Japanese Cloisonne.Extensive inventory of references books on all these subjects as well.
EXCITING NEWS!!!!!!!!
I am now representing the Sally Tuffin (who did so much to help resurrect Moorcroft in the 1980's)designs produced by Dennis China Works. These are done in the same style as her Moorcroft designs and all the pieces are hand turned and hand painted; a typical production run is between 20 and 200 items and each one is unique so there are no two alike. She has received high acclaim already in her pieces being described as "The William Moorcroft of the 21st Centry". You see her pieces fetch premium prices at auction and to date been unavailable in North America.In the latest Phillips Auction in London (12/2001) , one of her Honey Bee Pots fetched over 13,000 Pounds. Having known Sally and her husband (Richard Dennis) for many years we are very pleased to be the only representative of their products in North America. We are currently selling DCW on My eBay Store with usually 40 or more items.Many Trials and Experimental Pieces along with Limited Editions and Retired Items. One of the largest inventories of Sally Pieces anywhere in the World. The currently produced items we sell at the same price as in the UK, without Value Added Tax, Postage and Customs.
Watch for our own Sally Tuffin/Dennis China Works Limited Edition of 50 to be offered my Us exclusively. This first edition is an Aesop Fable "The Fox & the Grapes" inspired design.
We are great lovers of animals which is why much of the stock that we have deal with animals or animal subjects. One of the things that got us really involved in collecting Doulton was their fantastic array of animals throughout their history.We have always had animals, tried raising and showing dogs early on and eventually just became pet owners. Today we are foster parents to dogs, cats, horses, birds and turtles.
When at home we foster pups and kittens for the Local Humane society which makes our life here a lot more interesting and rewarding. For information on the Humane Society
