Introduction
Hello and a warm
welcome from Diane and Ray.
After a long life
together collecting, dealing and exhibiting at major fairs
around the country including the Fine Arts and Antiques
Fair Olympia, London we are now trading exclusively through
the internet showing Antique Staffordshire Pottery and
Fine Toby Jugs. Our site has had much praise for its "Collectors
Series" and in the near future we will be showing
a site for the connoisseur toby enthusiast, this will
also allow us to introduce more pottery items on the rarepottery
site giving collectors specialized priority in our many
different antique pottery subjects.
Tobies were our
passion from the start of our career but we branched out
into Staffordshire Pottery to supply the trade during
the late 1980's. Portobello Road, London was a convenient
outlet for nine years but after the 9/11 USA disaster
business started to slow. We left ( thinking it would
only be for a few Summer months break) in 2004 but since
then it has been trading via this website and with private
clients who we have know from our early years..... Their
loyalty is always much appreciated and we want to extend
our commitment to all collectors, old and new.
Our knowledge
is vast and there are many happy memories of the J.Horne/A.Sampson
years when we were fortunately able to supply wonderful
rare items to these two well known and respected members
of the antiques trade.
For a collector
buying items for their prized collection it will always
be a very special personal event and for this reason we
have been able to proclaim the fact that "we always
go the extra mile" to help collectors. Sadly now
finishing the shows we have lost that "one to one"
connection that's so vital for collectors to gain knowledge,
this has now been replaced with written informative documentation
to assist with every stock pottery item purchase from
our specialist inventory, guaranteeing as much information
as possible to bring collectors a greater understanding
of their collecting field.
Buy with confidence
your purchase is guaranteed.
Sincerely,
Ray & Diane
Ginns.
