How do you display your collection?

I think I should clean.....

Ok everybody's seen most of my stuff , but here are a few more of the colourful side of bertoncello

Yes , we always display them on a sheet and we sleep in the display area ,truth is I don't have enough room to display everything the way I would like and we are forever swopping things around , I also don't like clutter in a house, some people cram in everything sardine like and that spoils it for me , that display above mine looks like a warehouse , right that's me, lets see yours then

sorry

I haven't seenTahiti before but to be honest I still like Oriflamme best but then I don't like gold

Hi Potty, the Bunnykins collection isn't that good, they are only 2 years old - Royal Doulton realeased a limited edition (500 of each of the original 6) set 2 years ago to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Bunnykins figures, and to coincide with that the Huntsman, a new figure, was figure of the year for 2009. Unlike the new Bunnykins which are made in China now these were made in the UK using the original moulds. I got them at mates reates from a Royal Doulton dealer I know who offered me a discount I couldn't refuse as they were the last set she had in stock and as far as she was concerned they were dead stock.

Oh :O

Assumed there were the originals by Noke.

Had no idea about them being re made by Doulton. Is quite a while since I knew much about collectables, so not up to date at all.

I remember finding a Original Billy Figure among some general sale items at a auction house I was working at, the seller/other staff we quite supprised what I said it should be worth / what it went for ;)

I display all my miniatures together....even though they were made in different countries!
Anarchy!!

Not really my collection but they look nice taking up a corner of my living room while i'm waiting to sell them.

new to me anyway



requires a little restoration but it has more character than my glass cabinets

Looks like painted bamboo?

Guessing 1930's?

it's cane and has been badly painted with emulsion at some point,Ill see how it looks when the paint has been stripped but will probably give it some sort of colour treatment

Wife's cabinet/collection, items on loan from the Potty Collection

I always think glass looks its best when backlight with natural light on a window sill.

Cabinet with miniatures and small items, hope to collect more miniatures to replace the small / items I like less.

I'm holding out for a Martin Brothers 'Grotesque' bird. I've wanted one since the first time I saw one when I was no older than ten.

Hi PP, Not exactly Martin Bro's but it's deffinately Grotesque ...

what a stunning glaze though!!!!!!!!!

it's a Fantastic glaze, and i think it's well made, that's why i have kept it ...

I don't really have a display (my wife won't let me get one )

some Stig stuff..







a Rudi Stahl set



some glassware



even in the bathroom

........all that wasted space in those cabinets..... rack um high I say, pack them in! There is all sorts on my smalls shelf, including for the eagle eyed a smoke detector and a Flat Eric. I find the eclectic approach visually interesting. These shelves are changing all the time. When new stuff comes I 'box' old stuff and shuffle it about. I collect anything I like, there is so much new, old stuff out there. So much to learn about.
