European Ceramics

Woolley and Wallis is the leading regional auction house for English and European ceramics in the UK, with regular sales including 18th and 19th century glass, early English porcelain, Regency porcelain, delftware, maiolica, stoneware, slipware and pottery.

Our next sale is on Tuesday 8th October. Closing date for entries - 23rd August 2013.

The department is credited with several records, including the discovery of the only known Limehouse figure, which although broken, fetched £22,000 in 2005. Two years later, an 18th century English porcelain cup was identified as A marked porcelain; only the 41st piece of this class of porcelain to be discovered, and went on to make £13,000. The ceramics department also holds the record for the highest price ever paid for a piece of Welsh porcelain, for a magnificent 10in. Nantgraw vase which fetched £30,000.
 
We hold regular specialist sales with fully illustrated colour catalogues, and are pleased to advise about selling either single pieces or collections. Our latest sale included the collection of Sister Wendy Beckett, as well as items from the Bearsted Collection, formerly of Upton House, and a good private collection of Toby jugs.
