These are the Radford pieces you will probably not find at your local antiques fair... |
|
A superb landscape - PS pattern. |
|
Shown in the 1954 catalogue, but not often seen - this is the Italian bowl, shape 632. |
|
An
unusual small bowl, the only known example of this pattern, marked with the Radford Handcraft Ware basemark. Below is the only other known in this shape... |
|
Tyrol - found on different shapes, but always this pattern |
|
Striking geometric pattern - rarely seen. |
|
Daffodils.... click the picture to see more... |
|
Anemone... certainly one of the more desirable patterns, but rarely seen in this colourway. |

This child's cup and saucer are possibly the rarest pieces attributed to Radford that you will ever see. Manufactured by J.H.Cope Ltd, but they are clearly signed "E Radford". Radford apparently spent a few years working as a "freelance" designer for several Potteries, so these may have been produced during that period. |
|
Mr. Radford also apparently worked with Susie Cooper for a while.. .which may explain the vase shown below... a known Susie Cooper design, but on a Radford shape and with the E Radford mark on the base... |

|
Obviously given as a prize... the inscription makes this vase a one-off. |
Wow!
| PF pattern... but with a difference. PF usually has fern-like leaves on the tree, as shown below... |
| Thanks to Ebay seller Decoteria for supplying this picture of a rare BM pattern vase - click the pic to enlarge... |
|
Until recently only one of
these was known to exist in the UK.... but click here for a surprise... |
| A very large... and very rare... bowl depicting a mountain scene. |
 |
No
problem dating this plaque - produced by Radford for the coronation of
Edward VIII in 1937.
The coronation was of course cancelled due to the abdication, so as a result these plaques are hard to find. |
| At first sight, its not a Radford piece? |
