The key is to know how to use these pieces, that have survived for over 200 years, without breaking them and that's easy, all you need is a little common sense and you'll be all set. Take a look, for example, at this vegetable tureen, it is not only beautiful and light as a feather but it is also sturdy enough to use. I have clients who only purchase pieces that they can and do use. They would make a beautiful display for use in your living room, dining room, entry hall or just about anywhere in your home. You could also use the plate as decoration on the wall by itself or with a combination of plates in different sizes. You don't want to use the dishwasher because the extreme heat will bring up any restoration that had been done to the piece-so hand wash only! The dessert plate, pictured above, would make a great candy dish or, if entertaining, you could use it to serve cookies or a few cupcakes just remember to always hand wash and not use the dishwasher. Plus, and here's the good news, you can use these pieces in your everyday life. This could be a first purchase and then, with it in hand, you can learn about the history, and the makers as you start to build your collection. Like this dessert plate here, for example, it is just $350.00, c1770-80 and most likely Leeds.
Plus, you can start small and begin your collection with pieces that, while lovely, won't break your budget. But what's important to know, is that these wonderful pieces, at least some of them, can be used every day they don't need to be relegated to a cabinet or shelf only to be looked at. The thing is that once you get to know this pottery you feel it and you live with it, you'll be bitten by the bug too. I am no historian nor am I an expert on the field of English pottery but I do know that I have a passion about it and just enough knowledge to get me into a little more than just a bit of trouble.
