Potteries Auctions
Following earlier successful auctions of Shelley and Wileman ceramics, the Potteries Auctions near Stoke on Trent, will be selling more of the extensive collections of our late members, Les and Enid Foley and Ian and Sheila Davies. Included are rare and beautiful items from across the years of the pottery. Look out for future auctions in 2024/5 at https:/www.potteriesauctions.com - search for both Wileman and Shelley. These are live auctions and it is possible to bid, online (directly with the Potteries or via the Saleroom and Easylive) or by leaving commission bids. Details at the Potteries Auctions web site.
It is now even easier to become a member of the Shelley Group. The whole process including payment may now be completed on-line by following the link on the Become a Member page. We look forward to you joining us!
