Foremost amongst these are Jocelyn Lukins and Louise Irvine on Doulton wares and Harvey May on Beswick. These three have all published authoritative books covering practically every aspect of the history and products of the two factories.
Other contributions include many informed collectors who are encouraged to share their expertise and enthusiasm for particular areas of interest. Recent articles have included pieces on white china Bunnykins, an American museum’s Doulton collection, Lambeth bibelots, rare Beswick ‘finds’ and many more.
The editor also encourages readers to write in with their news and views to contribute to a lively and sometimes controversial letters page, and to send in queries on any aspect of Doulton and Beswick collecting for our experts’ authoritative opinions.
