sadler specialized in transfer printing on tiles, and then he went on to these cream-colored earthenware now, shakespeare has a strong association with david garrick. david garrick was the laurence olivier of his time. he was the great, great thespian, actor, of the 18th century. born in litchfield. made his debut in ipswich in the role of richard iii, and then he stormed london in the same role later, and he became the giant of the stage. so, it would appeal, in spite of its condition, to someone in the acting business. it would also appeal to a collector of liverpool pottery, and it would appeal to, possibly, a collector of english history of the 18th century. but it is well and truly... battered. yeah. to use a technical term, cream-crackered. it really is. and what a shame, 'cause it's a little bit of a disaster. nevertheless, okay, it has some residue value. i would think that it would fetch somewhere in the region of £2,000 to 3,000. wow. for that battered state! ( laughing ) well, this is the most sumptuous cover i have seen for a long time. i love the colors. i love all about it.
