Is Burslem pottery valuable?

1 Answer
Yes, some Burslem pottery is valuable. Typically, pieces made by the company founded by C.F. Bailey at Scotia Works, Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, UK, have the highest value. The company was active from 1894 to 1935, and the earthenware it produced has a following among some collectors. Although not produced by the same company, Doulton Burslem pottery is also beloved by ceramics enthusiasts, and many pieces produced by the factory that Royal Doulton established in Burslem in 1882 are prized by collectors. The best way to determine the value of your pottery is to have it assessed by a certified appraiser or experienced antiques dealer. Shop a range of Doulton Burslem pottery on 1stDibs.
