| About The Shelley Group | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Group was formed in 1986 by a small number of collectors in the UK. Since then it has grown steadily and we now welcome members throughout the United Kingdom, America, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Europe and around the world. We are a charitable organization whose aims are to promote and disseminate information on Shelley Potteries and generally broaden the appreciation of Shelley and Wileman wares. For more information on the benefits membership of the Shelley Group can offer you, please visit our membership pages. |
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The day-to-day running of the Group is undertaken by the Executive Committee which meets at least four times a year. Committee members are elected at the annual general meeting each year and it is made up of the following officers: |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Chairman Treasurer Committee Secretary |
Membership Secretary Regional Representatives Dealers List Co-ordinator |
Magazine Editors Events Officer Archivist |
Research Officer Publications Officer Publicity Officer Webmaster |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The UK is split into six regions which each has a
representative, as well as the representatives for the
United States, Australia and New Zealand. Each region has several meetings
each year. The Group holds an annual weekend which
includes the annual general meeting. If you would like more information on the Shelley Group please email from the Contact Us page. |

| Shelley Group - Information Service | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This service is provided to assist collectors in the identification and dating of Wileman/Shelley items that they would like to know more about. Please read the valuation and responsibility statements at the bottom of this page. This service is also available to non-members, however, in order to monitor the service we offer our members, it would be helpful if you could answer the following questions: Are you a member of the Shelley Group in the UK, Australia or the U.S.? If the answer is No to the above, have you been a member in the past? What is/was your membership number? |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Please remember that the Shelley Group can NOT provide valuations. |

your question is about a piece of pottery or china and you are unable to let us have a picture of the item and its base markings,
please let us know all the markings on the base and answer as many of the following questions as
possible. Visit the "Study" section of this site (button above) to find all the chinaware cup shapes, most of the teapot shapes, images of most of the known Backstamps, Registered numbers, Pattern numbers, Shape letters and Other markings.The pattern numbers on chinaware can be three, four or five digits and sometimes have a / with a letter and/or number after that. |

Please let us know:-: What is the Shape (Teaware items) Which Backstamp is on the item(s) What is the pattern number What is the shape number (if any) What is the Registered (Rd) number Any other markings

Please remember that this service is run entirely by volunteers, it may be several days before we get back to you. Please be patient. Because the valuing of items of china or pottery is so dependant on condition and rarity, which can only be judged by seeing the item, the Shelley Group is NOT able to provide valuations. The Shelley Group make every effort to ensure that the information provided is as accurate as possible, however, we cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage caused if it is not. |
