Summer 2012/13 (Issue 47) out now:
It?s time to sit back and enjoy some lazy summer reading, and we?ve got plenty to keep you entertained with the Summer issue of Antiques and Collectables for Pleasure & Profit.
Our cover story is all about Royal Doulton figurines, their designer, Leslie Harradine, and the shape of the market since production moved from the UK to the Far East. We?ve also got 11 Top Hints for anyone thinking about buying antiques, and we present the second part of our Flocks of Pots feature.
There?s a collector?s view on the trials of buying on eBay, and an intrepid maps dealer lets us in on the secrets of successful treasure hunting. We take a tour around the grand design of James Harper, and you get the inside nod on what?s selling in the retro glass market.
We look at the market for vintage rocking horses, acquaint ourselves with the customs that went with using the card case, and are introduced to some amazingly talented women silversmiths.
There?s a story on mudlarking in the Thames (yes, it?s an English thing?), plus we delve into the history of the snuff box and Eric Knowles takes us on a cruise of the Caribbean. And to top it off, we?ve got a gorgeous feature on Santa silk postcards, along with a special Christmas gift section.
It's not hard to see why we truly believe we're producing the best antiques and collectables magazine in the world, but if you don't believe us, simply email us with your mailing address and we'll send you a FREE back issue.
The Summer 2012/13 (Issue 47) edition of Antiques and Collectables for Pleasure & Profit is on sale now at your local newsagent.
