China is a highly collectable category as it contains such a vast range of different makers, many sadly no longer in operation.
Chinaware is very often associated with fine dining on special occasions. We have a few large sets of chinaware including a set of approximately 50 pieces of Limoges tableware and beautiful Crown Staffordshire tea & coffee sets. Not looking for tea or dinner services ? Maybe you are a collector of Clarice Cliff, Moorcroft, Royal Worcester or Doulton. There is a varied selection of pieces for these good British makers and if your tastes are more inclined to the Continental side, we have a specialist dealer of Meissen and Dresden from Germany and Sevres fine porcelain from France.
There is also a specialist with a huge selection of Limoges porcelain boxes & antique British pill and patch boxes including Halcyon Days enamel boxes. Whatever your preference in china collectables may be, you will be sure to find something here. Take a look at the selection online or visit us in store for the full range.
