Here you will find a gallery of some of my favourite collectible figurines from past projects - made by Royal Doulton, Royal Worcester and Coalport etc. I am proud to say I have worked with some of the finest artisans in the UK, working for some the most prestigious figurine companies in the story of fine china making.
Royal Worcester, the famous Worcestershire firm, lays claim to be the oldest and original porcelain maker in the UK.
They were established in 1751. Closely following were Staffordshire rivals Coalport founded in 1795, but earlier links go back to 20 years.
Royal Doulton, again based in Stoke-on-Trent, were to become huge rivals to Worcester, but were relative latecomers to the porcelain field, having come along originally as drainpipe makers in 1815. It wasn't until 1904 that they won their Royal Warrant for making fine porcelain.
I give my take on Coalport Figurines - Coalport - The most magnificent of the early English forerunner factories.
Royal Worcester Figurines - Worcester - The oldest and most prestigious of the early English pioneering porcelain factories.
Royal Doulton Figurines - Doulton - Had a surge of power and influence at the turn of the 20th century.
A Profile of the Traditional Staffordshire China Pot Bank - the English pot bank - one of the most traditional early English types of factory.
