Yorkshire Pottery A SPECIALIST SHOP SELLING ANTIQUE POTTERY AND PORCELAIN FROM THE YORKSHIRE.REGION. OVER 100 ITEMS OF Rob@Pighillpots

In the 18th and 19th century the South Yorkshire area was an important centre for the production of fine quality pottery. World famous 'Rockingham' china was produced at Swinton on the Earl Fitzwilliam's Wentworth estate close to Elsecar. Rotherham and Doncaster museums have extensive displays and information on the history of local ceramic production. A visit to our shop in the Elsecar Antique Centre will give you the opportunity to purchase a genuine antique piece of local history.

This was local today....
Auction rooms still use "Mexborough" or "Rockingham" in descriptions like seasoning.
As mentioned before I still haven't found a study which pinpoints this group of sponge base prattware Tobys to a specific pottery....they are supposed to be from Yorkshire though..😁😎R.
Not cheap if you add on the commission + considering the slight damage.

Just thought I would share a few results from today's Rockingham sale.
Some on estimate and some well above.😃...nice to know there's still interest in these beautiful and rare pieces.
The spill vase has the romantic view of Wentworth Woodhouse park....that makes it another of these scarce decorations to come to auction after the two plates last month.
The early red ground cup & saucer with shell painting has the Yates Leeds mark which makes it a rarer than normal piece.
Remember to add 30% on top of the hammer price to arrive at the actual cost.😁👍😎R.
P.S. Please feel free to like,comment and share if you know anyone who likes our local pots.👍.

A few bits of Rockingham at a local auction today.😀.
This is just a sample
Most items show some signs of gilding wear but the painting on most 🖌️ was very good.🎨.

Like and share if you have any friends who appreciate our local pots....😀😎R.

How many Rockingham collectors started off buying the inexpensive cups,saucers and trios??
For me a trip to Doncaster or Rotherham antique fairs( to see Jean 🤗) or a day out calling at antique shops and centres could have me coming home with these lovely bits.😀.
Still a great way to start a collection with beautiful antique pottery for a few pounds.
Here's an unusual colour c+s painted with 'flowers by girls'.
🙂😎R.

Here's an interesting if rather younger than usual piece.🤔

'The Leeds Pottery Project' 1983 to 1987. was a Leeds council funded initiative making pottery near the old works from original moulds rescued in the city museum.
Set up to train and employ handicapped workers on a small scale.
It ran out of funds and was sold on to Royal Doulton.☹️
Renamed "Leedsware" and moved to Staffordshire it then became the mass produced product we all know.
This rather well made creamware basket is from the original 'Made in Leeds" reincarnation. It has an unglazed smooth base with a distinctive impressed mark.
Another item in my Elsecar Antiques Centre unit.🙂😎R.

Nice to see the Banks are still making decent money....£525 with comm and VAT.🤔.
Lincoln resident on this one.
The theory that they moved around the canal network seems to be holding up.🙂

Hi Folks.👋.
Two of these rather nice Bumantofts vases have just popped up on 'Fleabay.🙂.
One is especially interesting as it also has the Fireclay Co impressed mark.
The price is "all the money" as you can see..... especially as they come with small manufacturers? faults.
They are from a reputable ceramics seller by the looks of his other items.
"London" prices as they used to say but does anyone on here know what they usually fetch??
They are lovely so I thought you may like a look....🤓R.
Like and share would be good👍

This Bishop and Stonier porcelain jug was undoubtedly dip finished in Mexborough.... and with some fine gilding added as well.👍.
It just has the SB&S anchor mark printed to the base WITHOUT the over stamped Baguley mark.....but I think the local attribution is pretty safe.😁.
There's a customer of mine at Elsecar Antiques Centre I think will want this.🤔.
