Desired Antiques and Collectables

Just thought it useful to mention these dealers who can be found at http://www.desiredantiques.co.uk/ . I have bought a couple of things from them since I started my collection and they have always been excellent value for money and a pleasure to deal with. For those like me who are new to the world of CC they are a very good place to start.

Secrets Plate.

This I think was the second item I bought and for some reason it's my favourite. It's not the biggest and it's certainly not the lost expensive, but ever since I acquired it I think the pattern has been one of my favourite. I am always trying to work out just what they might be doing in their houses just behind the hill. This one I think is from around 1933 but I am no expert. It's just a nice hilltop and river scene. What do you think?

Coral Firs - My First Pot

This is the first pot I bought back in August last year. It is in the popular Coral firs pattern from the Clarice Cliff bizarre range. Produced between 1933-1935. I have always tried to make sure that I have only bought things that are in a decent condition. It must be said that since I bought this I have become a little clearer about what I like and have pit is one on eBay a few times. Unfortunately with little luck as I have always hoped I would recoup what I spent so that I can put it towards something else. No doubt someone will want it one day
