Looks like a studio pottery sale 3rd Dec (though they call it "British Art Pottery")

that's the best online catalogue I have seen,it must have cost a bomb!

And it will also probably cost you a bomb to buy anything from them!They must have one of the highest Buyer's Premiums outside London.22% + VAT.= 26.4%.Then of course if you use one of the Online buying platforms that takes it over 30%.....

yes I'll just play with the catalogue

I think the provincial prize must go to the posh Scots auctioneers Lyon & Turnbull. Buyer's premium 25% + VAT=30%. The ultra posh London auctioneers are a law unto themselves of course.But even Bonhams is only 25% + VAT. And to think,back in the 80's there was no such thing a Buyer's commission!

and if you tell that to the kids of today etc etc

With all the things that people get irate with on here...I think the Buyers Premium is a Bl**DY CHEEK

i sold a couple of pieces with W&W a couple of years ago - never again. The commission and other fees are extortionate and to be honest, the attitude of the staff there, stank. Unless you're selling something worth thousands, they talk to you as if they're doing you a favour allowing your item in their saleroom.

Lots of studio in this one.

I have a few, but none of those stunning Lustre pieces.

It will bw interesting to compare the hammer prices in this sale with what they achieved in the Wooley and Wallis sal;es they were previously bought at.

Do you have to register to view the catalogue or is it a problem with my browser that I can't see it?

No I can't view it as previously. Maybe it's not online yet, or they insist
on registering now.

I've registered and still can't see it. Maybe it will be up later.

The catalogue is online now.

Something there for everyone.

some of the estimates are very low, I'm tempted

Everythng seems to be 100-200!

Hang on Dan, I thought you were selling up...

The clever page-turning cat is here

http://issuu.com/jammdesign/docs/ww102-311_listing?e=1975639/11232361

Lots of studio, as well as art pots.

It appears that 100% sold and generally at prices much higher than the estimates. Did anyone go or bid?

nah DD reined me back in

Ha Ha, save it for some nice Poole!

Just when I thought it was dead in the water, Art pottery is selling again, but they
were pretty good examples.
