Keep all archive specialist sale catalogues from the major auction houses as these are a great source of information and you never know you maybe able to track down one of your precious purchases. The history and provenance of a pottery item is wonderful to know and all part of the enjoyment of collecting. Do you ask for history/provenance when you make a pottery purchase? Any information you are given must be backed by genuine written evidence. Extra information for toby jug collectors will be extended in the new Toby website.
