I have recently acquired a sandwich platter and 6 sandwich plates stamped with Royal Venton Ware, John Steventon & Sons. From viewing your site they seem to be the 'Birds of Paradise' design. Does anyone have an idea of what they may be worth?

From: Julie Rodway - England                                     Posted on: Thursday, January 09, 2003, 12:40 PM

I inherited a Royal Venton dresser set with the inscription John Steventon and Sons, LTD - England # 1385. There is a small chip on the dresser tray but other than that it is in excellent shape. The pictures on the items are geese (or ducks) and the set is orange/red, purple and white. I would like to know what the name of the set is and an approximate value. Thank you.

An interesting site found on AltaVista while I was looking for info on Sam Bradley of "The Shelf Pottery". Those Floretta dishes always appeal to your sweet tooth.

From: Shirley Green - Canada                                     Posted on: Wednesday, February 26, 2003, 02:16 AM

Hello: I believe I have three pieces of Royal Venton Ware that fall into your category of "colour ware". They are: a teapot, sugar bowl and small cream/milk jug. Yellow, in a leaf pattern with a red/orange berry that has a black spot. Pale green leaves and also handle on teapot and cream/milk jug. Probably purchased in 1932 or 1933 by my parents and were part of a larger "breakfast" set but these are all that remain. Is there anywhere I can inquire as to an approximate value of these items? Thanking you in advance.

From: Nicky Hobbs  - England                                     Posted on: Wednesday, February 26, 2003, 10:19 PM

I have two cream coloured jugs one slightly smaller than the other they have a picture in the middle of orange rose and holding onto the stem is a bird similar to a pheasant the handle, base and lip of jug appear to be painted in a different paint but still orange and blue in colour although this is a more modern looking in brightness. I was given them to me by an old aunt and would love to know the age and value.

From: Tracy Bancroft - Staffs England                       Posted on: Thursday, February 27, 2003, 06:10 PM

I have a collection of Floretta Ware, about 70 pieces in all. I know a couple of others who also collect it. Is there a complete list of all the different Floretta Ware items produced?

From: Mrs. Gillian Smith - Cardiff                            Posted on: Sunday, March 02, 2003, 12:19 PM

We have got 11 pieces of the green hunting pottery.

From: Hannah Rigby - Britain                                     Posted on: Sunday, March 02, 2003, 05:26 PM

In your 'jugs' section I found a picture showing the jugs we own. they are cream jugs with gold gilt and pheasant scenes. I am writing to inquire about the set we own as one of the birds is facing the opposite way to the other two. the three jugs also have numbers on the bottom in gold, number 7 on the bottom of the smallest, 4 on the medium and 12 on the biggest. We inherited these items and would greatly appreciate any information you could give. many thanks. Hannah Rigby

What a fabulous site, you have worked hard to furnish the visitor with some genuinely useful information. I was looking to identify items of colour ware (egg cup set, preserve jar and divided fancy dish) and was delighted with my instant success. Well done!  Regards Des Mills.

I have a bowl that my grandmother gave me and on the bottom is a stamp that has Coronet on it and Maling, England around the outside. I am trying to find out some information about this bowl. Can you help me out?

From: Madeleine Holman - Ireland                           Posted on: Tuesday, April 01, 2003, 06:31 PM

I have had a jug for many years that has the following inscription on the bottom: "LUXOR WARE" Reg No. 837606 Made in England. It also has hand painted either M or PY 1782. The jug is small, the background is cream and on the front there are green leaves and two orange poppy's. The rim and handle are decorated in green and orange. I would be grateful for any help in establishing its origins.

I have a Royal Venton Ware dressing table set of jug and bowl with a pattern popular in the 20s of Mt Fuji, No. 1022. There is also a toothbrush vase and soap dish which are without the RV mark. which have same pattern. They belonged to my parents and were bought probably in the mid-late 1920s.

Recently I was at a flea market where I found an crème coloured oval plate with the Royal Venton Stamp on the back. It has a golden rim. The pattern consists of brown and black band divided in four parts by Ivy leaves. Inside this rim the decoration consists of four patches of bright flowers outlined in brown. The colours of the flowers are red, pink, blue and yellow with green and black leaves. Could you please tell me when this pattern was made.

I have a mutton crackle vase that is 7 1/2" tall, 2 1/2" across mouth, narrows to about 1 1/2" at neck, widens again to about 3" across. Marked Royal Venton Ware, Ming, England. White at top, over bright turquoise, black at bottom. Identical colouring to the pot on your mutton crackle page in the 10th position. Could you please give me some idea of value and where I might find a buyer? Thanks, Lynn Good

Dear Sir or madam I purchased an unusual square case at auction. It is Royal Venton signed by Holdcroft. The year is signed as 1893. It is the same back stamp as you show. Is it possible that he was using this before the dates you give? I will take a photo of my piece of pottery if that assists, I enjoyed your page! Best wishes Jean

Hi I was given your details by Greg Slater and the other day Miranda Goodby showed me the excellent research you have done of Royal Venton. I have just given them, on behalf of an elderly lady, some plates by Gladys Scarlett. I am currently working on a new title "Starting to Collect Twentieth Century Ceramics" that will cover UK, US and Europe and will be published by the Antique Collectors Club. I have had four other books published already. I think it would be very interesting to include Royal Venton as not much is known about them and the range of products that I saw at the Potteries Museum was amazing and really should be included in my book. Therefore would you consider helping me by allowing me to use some of the information from your web site? and later with proofing etc as I want to get the fact
