Tea set separated by two centuries
A dish and the tea cup and saucer are products of our own Worcester factory. The dish, one of a pair, was produced in the 18th century and is decorated with scale blue; so called because the colour blue is laid on almost in the appearance of fish scales. The pair of dishes recently sold in my Fine Art sale for £750. The cup and saucer is also one of a pair but, interestingly, was produced in the 20th century just proving the long lasting desirability of the design. This pair sold for a perhaps more affordable £30. more...

Victorian chair made of paper
The chair below comes from the middle of the Victorian era and is typical of many pieces made at that time. Albert, the Queen's beloved husband, had just died and Victoria had gone into mourning - and the country with her.

The decoration is painted on and embellished with mother of pearl inlay. This type of furniture was made just up the road in Birmingham by firms such as Clay & Jennens & Betteridge. They also produced small caddies and boxes with their name stamped into the base. more...
