Some images from the batterham exhibition at the V&A.

The book is going to be a 128 page hardback at £30. To be published on March 17 next year. Tanya Harrod being the lead writer. Yo can pre-order on Amazon now, and there are also about 10 images to look at on the order page.

Hi Philpot, Thanks for the posts i will certainly order a copy of the book , if the information seen on Facebook is correct there is to be a sale of Batterman pieces at Woollys next year.

This was a curious one on Ebay today. This Jug was only 8.5 ins high, yet its final auction price was £1550. Which is many times more than it would normally go for!

Intriguing indeed. Why just Batterham though? But without doubt those items are going for many times what they would normally fetch.
