European Ceramics & Glass

English Ceramics – a classic collector’s field

From single pieces to whole dinner services, we are delighted to value all kinds of ceramics and to include them in our twice-yearly sales. Estimates will depend on age, rarity, provenance and condition but our experts will also factor in current market trends and fashions in collecting.

This is a varied field with some collectors looking for 18th century porcelain from Bow, Chelsea, Worcester and other early English factories while others build collections of earthenware Staffordshire figures or typically 19th century wares by Doulton, Minton and Spode.

Meissen and more

While the fine porcelain of Meissen and Sevres will always attract interest at auction, we are seeing growing interest from a younger generation in 19th and 20th century European factories like Herend, the renowned Hungarian porcelain manufacturer, famous for its hand-painted tableware decorated with flowers and butterflies.

Selling glass at auction

Cameo glass by famous names such as Lalique, Dore, Galle or the English engraver Whistler are sought-after by a growing international audience. We are also happy to see 20th century art glass. But whatever the glass you bring us, we will be delighted to give you an accurate description of its origin and value.
