Dear David Harper, what a cool Dalton! Thank you for showing it to us! What about those head knockers? ouch!! I love stapled pottery and am intrigued by it. peace everyone
If it just says England that means a date of 1890-1920 even without knowing when they got the Warrant. Figurines now sell by the box lot here if they go at all. I saw some in a Free pile at an antique store this year. Guess on price, around here 200 would be full retail if you got lucky. Victorian truncheons - knew the dates. I'd suspect 1880 or so on one and maybe older on the other. That vase was a monster. Meiji .. got that before you said it. The decoration gave it away. I had it pegged for 1900. Value.... maybe 200 without the damage; the Japanese don't want that back! No thanks. The staples actually make me want it more, but it would freak some people out. It means there's a story somewhere and somebody cared; stapling was SILLY money. I have one staple repair; the repair cost more than the piece was worth originally.
Very entertaining David, about time you had your own tv show !! Cheers from Japan.
Thanks for that. cheers, D

Could that Dalton figure be Faust and Gretchen?
It’s the stapled pieces I love the most!
I remember seeing Arthur Negus on Going For A Song back in the 70s. I recall Eric Morcambe would always confuse Negus with Anna Neagle!
Keep vlogs coming. Your sound is much better
Thank you! Will do!
Arthur Negus valued that vase in the 60s the one that broke the world record at 57Million. He said it was a good copy and worth £800 I think

you’re right, it’s the staples that make the vase interesting
(Chinese dealer) But... many of those Chinese objects were made to "accomodate" the European market. are they truly traditional Chinese? nope
The Chinese are buying back antique pieces made for their own home market, so yes, not items made for the western buyers
Interesting but his ego is quite condescending
