Here I would like to
introduce you to a variety of my
hobbies. One hobby is collecting Royal Copley
pottery. This I've been doing
for years and my collection is fairly extensive. It is an
expedition to travel to
flea markets, antique malls and antique shows throughout the country
looking for that
special rare pottery piece missing from my collection. It is
such joy when finding
an obscure piece of pottery that could have been sitting on a shelf for
months and no one
else bought it. I combine my photography interests in taking
pictures of this
pottery to sell and buy. Also, taking pictures of my family
is great fun. I
also like to combine my photography hobby with with historical
interests since I have
gathered from my grandparents many family pictures of ancestors that
I've collected over
the years.
Early in 1941 the partners
Morris Feinberg and Irving
Miller acquired a defunct plant in Sebring, Ohio to begin their own
production of art-ware
pottery. For fifteen years, with many changes in the operation, the
Spaulding China
Company became on of the most significant plants in the production of
art-ware pottery. .

Reference book "More About
Royal Copley plus Royal
Windsor and Spaulding by Leslie C. and Marjorie A. Wolfe
Royal
Copley made all kinds of
Pottery
Vases, Animals,
Art Deco, and
perhaps over 1000 different pottery types
I collect all
types, but I'm partial
to the animals
Below is just a sample
from my
collection . . .
