Wally Keeler is a master of functional sculpture,his wheel turned,hand altered pottery makes swans of ugly ducklings in his words,



"an extraordinary object to do a commonplace job"

Seriously crazy ... are these very collectable Dan? I don't think I've ever heard of him before... I'm presuming he's still potting?

Yes Pip, Wally is seriously HOT property at the moment,the teapots shown above would set you back at least £700.00 I would think.
The starting pieces for a collector would be small,simple creamers or jugs which have been sold recently for £60.00 to £80.00 on ebay!

Goodness, that's a lot for something that looks very like some of the standard collectable stuff....it just goes to show the difference a name can make.

I finally managed to get 'my' Wally Keeler piece for the collection last year. Nice and simple but still classic Keeler. 11.3cm (height)
