Re: Buchan Pottery (Scotland)

Your best bet would be on Ebay. You would reach the widest audience, and as Studio says, you can gauge the interest by asking for offers. Equally ordinary auctioneers are not a good idea. In general, Buchan pottery does not sell for a great deal of money, and at most ordinary auctioneers it is sold in large lots.

Thanks all for the input , much appreciated

I would suggest putting it on eBay starting at a low price but with a high reserve. That way you can gauge the interest, and make an second chance offer to bidders if it fails to sell. The risk of putting it on as a Buy It Now when youve no idea what it’s worth is undervaluing it so it’s snapped up as a bargain (I’ve made that mistake before now)

Hebrides pattern. Some of their work is really growing on me.

Given that Buchan was seemingly the major Scottish pottery for a lengthy time. Is it collected very much now?

My dish is still for sale so we’ll see. The cheap thistle ones seem to go easily.

Larger Thistle Jug with the standard Buchan mark. What I thought was interesting was looks like a decorator's mark on the right of the photo. TH or some like. Although it would be unusual to have a signature on a standard piece like this.

Decorated by Isobel Reay, made in Crieff after 1997.
Even the ubiquitous "Thistle" pieces were all hand-painted.

Thanks Denby. I was curious. Mind you, you not see very much Buchan around now.

Ha Ha, it's all in my collection Phil!
