THE DOROTHY MUGLESTON COLLECTION OF BLUE AND WHITE TRANSFER-PRINTED POTTERY
Mrs Dorothy Mugleston was a noted collector and had a long-standing passion for antiques and especially for British blue and white transfer printed earthenware.
A founding member of The Friends of Blue, an association formed in 1974 to study blue and white transfer-printed pottery, she remained a member up until her death in March 2014. She contributed to the FoB Bulletins and always attended the AGM and conference to improve her knowledge and to share her own extensive knowledge with other members.
Several of her items have been illustrated in specialist books on blue and white pottery by A W Coysh, R K Henrywood and other experts. Dorothy's research of some patterns and marks led to a new understanding about which factories had produced certain patterns. This research was aided by her collection of original transfer pulls used in the production of blue and white pottery and an original copper-plate engraving used to make the transfers - also included in this sale.
Several pieces have been lent to museums over the years, and she had much interest from the Canadian Museum of Civilisation in some of the items. A number of pieces featured in the 'True Blue' exhibition of British Transfer-printed Earthenwares at the Wedgwood Museum at Barlaston, Stoke on Trent between March and June 1998. This exhibition was to mark the 25th anniversary of Friends of Blue.

Buying a pre-loved, antique, or vintage item not only provides you with unique style and value for money but it also helps to reduce landfill, and the annual emissions of an antique or vintage piece can be as little as one sixteenth of those of its new equivalent!
Sworders is proud to be supporting the work of Antiques are Green - the movement that was founded in 2009 to promote “a greener future created from the past”. Read their fascinating carbon footprint study of a Georgian chest of drawers versus a modern equivalent here
