2/4/2010 1 Comment First post!This photo (from Sotheby's) appears on the inside cover of Griselda Lewis' 'A Collector's History of English Pottery'. It inspired me, as I'm sure it has others, to form a collection of plaques. More recently, it inspired me to take the photos that will form the basis of this website.
Apologies that some pages are still blank. Images will appear over the next few months.

Your web site is a most welcome addition to the web.Specialist knowledge on this subject is very limited and to see such stunning examples from your collection is a real joy.I am sure it will inspire both old and new collectors of these items from the North East of England which are an important part of our social history.
