2/29/2012 0 Comments Albion Pottery bridge plaqueI recently found the plaque below on the Ruby Lane antiques website. My thanks to Patricia Funt for allowing me to include it here. It has the Albion Pottery impressed mark, with a G&A for Galloway and Atkinson, 1864. The plaque is similar to a pair that came up at auction a year or so ago. The unusual mottled border might not be to everyone's taste – it reminds me of the sort of wallpaper you might discover under 5 or 6 layers when stripping the hallway of a Victorian house. But if you fancy the bridge plaque, which is undoubtedly rare, it is still for sale on the links above.
