At Potteries Auctions, we are specialist sellers of pottery, antiques, and all sorts of extraordinary items.
Potteries Auctions is an auction house based in the heart of the Staffordshire Potteries with two salerooms: our Silverdale Saleroom in Newcastle-Under-Lyme, and our Cobridge Saleroom. Established in 1991, we are now one of the leading auction houses in the UK dealing in 20th-century British pottery in particular.
