Making China Figurines Comment - "I would not buy a foreign made china figurine":- I have lots of your beautiful figurines, Peter, but I tend not to buy pink. If I am honest that is the only thing that has prevented me from ordering John's "As Lovely As You" .... I have lots of his work.

As a collector for over 30 years I was disgusted that our Government did nothing to stop the closure of the potteries. I would not buy a foreign made figurine.

Here are a few favourites of yours in my collection:-

The full set of the Celtic Kingdom range
Sweet Lady Fair
Rose of Camelot
Maiden of Valour
Rose of Camelot
Gypsy Princess
Lady of Sherwood
Celestine
Wicked Lady
The Southern Belle Series ( Not all yours, Peter, but your Scarlett is the best - stunning)
Moonlight Ball
Pearl Princess & Madam Butterfly ( Mandalay Editions)
Moll Flanders
Atlantic Crossing to name but a few of yours
If it has a good face and beautiful painted brown or green eyes then I cannot resist.

I shall watch progress with anticipation!

Kind regards

Judi

Dear Judi

I'm so glad you found our site and understand and appreciate just what John and I are about.

We are working hard to preserve the unbroken tradition of over 250 years of continuous skills. It is not necessarily the 'names' we care for, as the modern shallow executives have put paid to the great names now, but it is more the generations of delightful artisan traditions which we both dearly love.

Our collectors love them too - we know that. Together, we can make a difference to history.

Best regards

ps. I notice the figs you mention are my ones. You had better mention some of John's otherwise he may get huffy!
