![]() Welcome to our website which specialises in French Faience, British Studio Pottery, and in British and French Art Pottery.Our collection of French Faience currently focuses on Quimper, Desvres, Malicorne, CA, Faience de l'Est and Faience Fine, but we also stock items from many other French Faienceries. Our British Studio Pottery collection contains the work of a wide range of 20th.Century British studio potters. The British Art Pottery items are mainly drawn from the smaller regional potteries in the South and South-West of England. The French Art Pottery that we present includes: Denbac, Greber, Pierrefonds, Metenier, Les Yvelines and Rambervillers. Please contact us for further information about these or other potteries not at present represented on our website. Whilst we are very happy to offer an opinion on identification of pottery items, we regret we do not give valuations. STRUCTURE OF THIS WEBSITE This website has 5 main sections as listed at the top left-hand corner of this first section, which can be accessed by clicking on the relevant section name.

We do not intend to stall out again on a regular basis at Ardingly, preferring instead to exhibit occasionally at other smaller Fairs in the South-East. We do not stall at Fairs during the winter months. During the summer months in 2010, weather permitting, we may have an occasional outside stall at either Ardingly or Detling. Our programme of Fairs will be regularly updated on our Website, from which we shall continue to sell. A MISCELLANYThe following items do not come within our usual stock categories.
