Myrna Schkolne: Early Staffordshire Figures

 A PS to the blog entry below about the Osborn sale. The large bull and cow that were on the catalog cover and attracted so much attention from pottery collectors have been sighted before. Andrew Dando sold them at his very first Animal Dando exhibition in 1993. Then, they had been in a private collection for 25 years and their appearance must have caused quite a stir. You can see the picture of the figures at that exhibition and read all about it on Andrew's "business history" page, http://www.andrewdando.org/ad/2.about.htm. Clicking on the photo clipping with the bovine beauties will let you read all about their modern-day debut.

And while I remember (to tell you, that is. I would never forget the Event!): Andrew Dando's next Exhibition is scheduled to start on Saturday Nov. 7. It runs a week, but check it out early if you want to take your pick.
