Ernest Shufflebotham

Hello everyone, i thought i would introduce myself first before i make my post below.

I recently discovered the enjoyment of pottery collecting after purchasing some pieces at a charity fundraising auction.
I now have 2 Ernest Shufflebotham pieces ( a #13 and #14 ) that adorn the shelf in my kitchen and i would like to add some more to my small collection.
If any members have pieces that they are thinking of selling then please let me know.
I am interested in any items by ES but particularly keen on adding pieces 5, 15, 24 and 34 from the gallery below:

Happy Easter!

Hi and Welcome to the Forum HarryPotter

Shufflebotham vases are very sought after and are keenly fought over on Trademe on a regular basis.

There is a listing for a Shape 34 on there at the moment:

Hi Ev, thanks very much for the welcome and also the link to the listing

I have been keeping an eye on TradeMe but hadn't thought of searching using the incorrect spelling of his surname, but i will from now on

There was an awesome one on last week that i missed out on. I asked for a buy now and the seller added one but by the time i got back to my computer some lucky buyer had beaten me to the buy now button. I love the design of the number 15:

There is also a #14 currently on TradeMe that has met reserve which is the same as mine.
I can't post a link to it since i'm a new member but the same seller also has a brown vase from Shufflebotham's design assistant - Mirek Smíšek.

I think i like the shape of the #15 so much because it reminds me of my #14.

All beautiful pieces anyway

Actually I searched Hand Potted in the Crown Lynn category. Let's see if the link I copied will work ...

Smisek told a member on here that Ernie Shufflebotham made the pots that he decorated ...

Aha.. So that brown vase on TradeMe was made by Ernest but decorated by Mirek.

Thanks for the link Ev, i'll have to keep an eye on that listing
