Discover ceramics and glass at auction, from antique porcelain and traditional pottery to decorative glassware and collectable table glass. Lyon & Turnbull’s specialists advise buyers and sellers across a wide range of British and European ceramics and glass, considering factors such as maker, date, marks, rarity, condition and provenance.
Whether you are building a collection, researching an inherited piece or considering selling at auction, our team can provide expert guidance and a complimentary auction valuation.
Ceramics at Auction
Our ceramics auctions encompass pottery, porcelain, earthenware, stoneware and other decorative and functional objects. The selection can range from individual figures, dishes and vessels to table services and private collections.
Collectors may focus on a particular maker, factory, region, period or production technique. Age, rarity, decoration, marks, condition and provenance can all influence an object’s desirability and auction value.
Pottery & Porcelain
Pottery and porcelain include British and European pieces from a wide variety of periods and traditions. These may include slipware, Delftware and Staffordshire figures alongside porcelain by recognised factories such as Meissen, Sèvres, Royal Worcester, Derby and Wedgwood.
If you are unsure about the origin or potential value of a piece, photographs of the object, its base and any visible marks can help our specialists provide an initial assessment.
Glassware at Auction
Our glass auctions feature antique and collectable glassware, including drinking glasses, decanters, table glass, cut glass, vessels and decorative objects. Age, maker, design, colour, technique and condition all contribute to an item’s auction value.
