Re: Cottees Poole Pottery Auction
Well they could attract more custom + customers by reducing their goddamn premiums - I have zero sympathy.
Re: Cottees Poole Pottery Auction
they don't even send catalogues to regular bidders anymore

Re: Cottees Poole Pottery Auction
Viewing was also difficult as in the morning there was an auction going on in the same hall which meant those who were supposed to be showing Poole items often had to go off to man the phones for bids or to sort out buyers purchases.
In the afternoon it was no better with only one person in the hall trying to deal with everyone's enquiries. In the end We were told to look at things ourselves!!!

Re: Cottees Poole Pottery Auction
this used to be one of the top Poole auction rooms, it seems things have slipped quite badly

Re: Cottees Poole Pottery Auction
I like the carved Ionian vase and the Leslie Elsden carved charger

Re: Cottees Poole Pottery Auction
I think they have added more lots, there are now 291 lots. Nothing that is particularly special but I'll bid on a few pieces. The sale date is much earlier than usual which may have had an affect.

Re: Cottees Poole Pottery Auction
another year that I won't be bidding, do you remember how we would look forward to the two Poole auctions and make long lists of lots to bid on?

Re: Cottees Poole Pottery Auction
looking through the years in this thread tells me the rot really set in three years ago when Poole prices hit rock bottom.
Just goes to show it's best to buy the really rare pieces that hold their value

Re: Cottees Poole Pottery Auction
There are a few gems in amongst the rather 'run of the mill' lots. We always regard these sales as an excuse for a few days on the Isle of Purbeck so don't worry too much if there isn't much that is for us. I do realise though that a place like Cottees that has always had close links to Poole pottery needs to work harder to maintain its position ( if it still has one ). I do not think they are the first choice for people selling good pieces anymore, other auction houses can get better prices.

Re: Cottees Poole Pottery Auction
Do we think they'e been somewhat left by the wayside?
When I evenyally dispose of my Poole collection, they may not be the "go to" auction anymore.

Re: Cottees Poole Pottery Auction
Poole seems in decline as a town not just Cottees

Re: Cottees Poole Pottery Auction
Yes the recent closure, but an incredibly wealthy area none the less.
That's why Poole pottery sold the Quayside, So £1m flats could be built in a prime spot.

Re: Cottees Poole Pottery Auction
some below estimate results but the Tony Morris Corfe Castle charger sold for £750 which is the first time I have seen a later piece out perform Poole pottery pieces

Re: Cottees Poole Pottery Auction
Dan , the last one of those I saw for sale at TW Gaze went for £1,600 so the £1,100 was cheap by comparison

I think the TW Gaze one was badly damaged too!
