The Bill Dick Collection is, as its name implies, a personal one. Bill, a Chartered Accountant by profession, was a serious collector. A chance purchase of a decorative plate in the middle 1970s led to a 40 year obsession with antique Spode. He was a long-standing member of both the Spode Society and Northern Ceramics Society, contributing articles to their journals and giving talks on his collection. He travelled the country searching out rare pieces and was well-known to auctioneers, traders and academics alike. In his later years he carried on digging online, building an extensive and unique collection. Bill specialised in early 19th century blue and white, but also loved decorative ware and unique shapes and patterns, in fact the older and rarer the better. We hope there is something here for anyone interested in antique pottery, Spode in particular, or who just appreciates the craft and history of these marvellous pieces.
Buffalo chipped spout and rim, plus cracks, Trench Mortar restored, one vase rim broken.
