That was fascinating, thank you. I have a large very ornate spill vase from my grandmother and it was her grandmothers before. It has the blue which corroborate the date I suspected. Thank you so much.
Hello! I’m a new subscriber and I absolutely LOVE your channel! I find everything you talk about is so interesting. I look forward to watching your older videos. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you for this! I too remember these being incredibly fashionable and expensive as a kid. Whereas recently, I picked up a pair of late Victorian Staffordshire dogs at a local summer fete for £35. I see Staffordshire dogs coming back into fashion (Oliver Bones has a modern interpretation in blue and white at the moment) - so I expect the prices will start to increase again.
Thank you Steven.I love antiques and have a few of my grandmothers including Staffordshire vases and Beswick ducks. Not worth much but love them anyway. Greetings from Oz.
Really useful video, starting out learning about antiques and collectables! If you have a large piece that is a solid colour, no markings underneath how do you tell if it is real or fake? Are there any other things to look out for?
Once again, loved the video! Odd side-question. How do experts go about tracking down a particular piece? I've been on the hunt for what seems like forever for a Staffordshire, Parr-style figurine of Charlotte Cushman and her sister as Romeo and Juliet (I'm a Shakespeare professor). I see expired auctions all the time, many of them even fairly recent, but I never seem to find them before the hammer falls. They don't seem to be super rare or terribly expensive. Any tips on having better success in the hunt?
Hi Steven, I was once told to check the orange colouring ? Not sure if it was to age it or if it might be a wrong 'un, any ideas? Apparently there's a lot of fake carnival glass around too...any pointers?
Certainly the real one have a narrow palette of colours, but the fakes are always too heavy and too dirty in all the wrong places, once you’ve seen a few it’s easy into spot. Can’t say I’ve come across fake Carnival glass, unless it’s all in America?
Loving all your videos. Thank you for imparting your vast and wonderful knowledge about antiques 🙏
Thank you
I never thought I could understand the differentiation, the nuances of pottery, china...but you're teaching me. Thank you so much.
Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge Mr. Moore.
My pleasure.
Another lesson from the Master
Loved the video.
Very clear information.
Look forward to more.
Plus I notice we both have a love of Venice.

There is a website where you can list ‘wants’ and it alerts you when they come to auction. The saleroom dot com
