                     Stunning Royal Crown Derby

Royal Crown Derby, rare and wonderful pieces are always in stock.  Brenda and Lynas have  commissioned and designed several exclusive pieces for  Royal Crown Derby.

 

During the potteries decline and sad closures, Brenda and Lynas spent many years clearing the old factories and museums, finding many rare and one off pieces along the way and even purchased a house and a warehouse as a result in Stoke On Trent.   They stayed there until the last great vintage  pottery closed.

 

One of the best stories is when the Wade factory closed.  A housing estate was built on the site and during the excavations, thousands of rare and original early Wade pieces were literally dug out of the ground by Brenda, Lynas and their team of diggers!  The factory had disposed of them in land fill in their own grounds.  This was instrumental in clearing and purchasing the Beswick factory, trading name and all original moulds etc with their business partner, who still owns it today, producing the modern day Beswick pieces.  Many pieces of Beswick in their unit 4 are one offs from the old factory with special backstamps etc.  Beatrix Potter has always been and is still a favourite with them.

 

 

Brenda and Lynas, together with their daughter, Xavier,  started Xaviers Collectables specialising in Moorcroft and all collectables, especially Bunnykins, selling many exclusives over the years.  Brenda and Lynas have had a great influence on a number of Beswick books.
