This weeks bargain See what's in the van

Diary of an antique dealer

Isn't this so true.


I have been in business for over 46 years and every time I read these words on this Staffordshire plate they become truer and truer.


The meat platter is the usual willow pattern plate but the words have been placed on the plate at the time of firing. It was made specially for a New York Company in about 1910.


I have had the plate up in my office for over 30 years.
