Auction Watch 30.2012

I'm experiencing Danish Pottery withdrawal currently, there just isn't much around here at the moment, but I did manage to find some lovely Dybdahl pieces online which I will post on here with some other information when they arrive all the way from Denmark!

For now though plenty of non-Danish pieces at 2 auctions this week which took my eye.

What a great shape for a genie bottle! (Blenko?)

An Arabia pattern I don't recognise

I love the Carlton Ware Blue "Royale" Series - especially the hand painted
designs like this blue one.

A lovely old Royal Doulton setting - Art Deco by the look of it

Such a great design - It is an old Art Deco Era "Envoy" Tureen
the pattern and shapes are exquisite on this series.

Another Carlton Ware Royale - stork bon bon dish

Wade (England)  "Whimsies" - not the sort of thing I would buy
but very cute and you can see why they are so collectable.

A few nice West German shapes in this group.

Shorter & Sons (England) Pineapple

What an amazing old photo album - full amazing photographs and postcards

Carlton Ware Rouge Royal Cake Stand

P.S. - The website that I started up as the Price Guide - will be offline a few more weeks - I just haven't had time to get it back together when I moved providers...and have had to completely change the template....but what I am doing is making it more of an information or resource centre and fact file repository as well as a photo album with large number of makers, patterns, signatures etc etc. Stay tuned.

Also, a big thank you for in increase in readers making small donations lately, and a big increase on ad clicks - it all adds up to help pay for my huge broadband, Internet and Electricity costs! ( I don't know about other countries but here in most states of Australia electricity costs have spiralled out of control - an increase of up to 56% over 4 years without any real justification and no sign of slowing down)
