Title: Salopian Art Pottery, Shropshire
Post by: rhodian on November 22, 2007, 04:28:57 PM

Would love to see pics of Salopian Art Pottery pieces others might have, made at Benthall, Shropshire c.1880-1930. And if anyone has a catalogue (one was produced in the 1930s) I will beat a path to your door!

Yes, both those links show some examples of Salopian. Another good online source is here:

I'd like to see additional examples that members of this forum might own.

Thanks for this latest link. Some of these pieces are my own, as are those featured in the earlier links.

What I really hope to see are pieces in private collections that have not been published on the web. There may be some members of this forum who have pieces, and it's those I'm keen to see.

Many thanks.
