ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

​

Many people have kindly assisted in the process of collecting the images on these web pages, but I am particularly grateful to Karen Morgan of Georgian House Antiques, who has given freely of her knowledge and time over many years  I am also indebted to the late Joan Shaw and the many others who showed considerable kindness and hospitality, but in particular to the late Alasdair Morrison.  Thanks also to the late Russell Lenord, John Astle and Alan Roberts for providing images and the multitude of ceramic dealers who have allowed me to photograph pieces on their stands.  Many users of eBay gave me permission to use images and I am grateful to all of these.

​

I am also grateful to the many auction houses for kindly granting permission to use their images, but in particular to Bamfords Auctioneers, Canterbury Auction Galleries, Dreweatts, Mellors and Kirk, Neales and Wooley and Wallis Salisbury Salesroom.

​

Thanks also to the curators of ceramics in Brighton and Hove Museums, The British Museum, The Fitzwilliam Museum Cambridge, The Norwich Castle Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum, all of whom kindly gave permission to use images.

​

Finally I am particularly indebted to the curator and trustees of the Charles Norman Collection of 18th Century Derby Porcelain held at the Collection Museum, Lincoln, for permission to reproduce some of the images from the book of the same name.
