]]> Comment on The Ins and Outs of a new antiques collecting year by Dan Shaw http://www.writeantiques.com/the-ins-and-outs-of-a-new-antiques-collecting-year/#comment-165 Dan Shaw Fri, 18 Apr 2008 13:08:31 +0000 http://www.writeantiques.com/the-ins-and-outs-of-a-new-antiques-collecting-year/#comment-165 In my experience, many of the new wave of pottery buyers want pieces with strong,modern design and vibrant glaze. Poole pottery and West German "fat lava" are very much in vogue as they sit well in the modern,minimalist home,though once bitten by the collector bug buyers can wave goodbye to the spare room.

I have collected several hundred examples of Sheffield-made knives, the smallest of which is the size of a grain of rice, it has two blades and mother of pearl scales. Finding knives to add to the collection has become much more difficult in recent years. Needless to say prices for good examples have risen appreciably.
