century Staffordshire porcelain. As the label ‘reference collection’ suggests, these are curious, often unusual, pieces of academic interest rather than superlative examples of their kind, and the £45-400 price range reflects this. Philip Miller will give a talk to


accompany this exhibition titled The Importance of the Godden Reference Collection on Wednesday, November 17, for which booking is essential. Of greater market value are the choice pieces in the Celebration of


Derby Birds…show which will be priced from £400 to £6000. The Derby bird- painted pieces from the late 1750s, sit alongside some examples from the Hanscombe Collection of wares decorated by Jefferyes Hamett O’Neale, with a selection of St James’s Factory and Chelsea seals, Bow and Longton Hall. Recent acquisitions also include


a range of English and Continental porcelain. Tel: 0207 727 7995 www.antique-porcelain.co.uk
