Spring comes early to Boldon Auction Galleries

Coming up in our next sale on Wednesday 26th February is this collection of Autumn Crocus pattern Clarice Cliff pottery. Clarice was an English ceramic artist and designer who became head of the creative department at Newport Pottery in Staffordshire after starting her career there in 1916. Crocus pattern was created by Clarice Cliff in 1928 by producing a simple hand painted pattern of Crocus flowers in orange, blue and purple. The vibrant colours used led to large sales which saw twenty women trained to paint this pattern working 5 and a half days a week for much of the 1930s. Crocus was unusual because it was produced on not only tea, coffee and tableware but also novelty items made as giftware.

Busby Babes at Boldon Auction Galleries

The story of the Busby Babes is perhaps one of the most poignant stories in footballing history and included within Boldon Auction Galleries upcoming 26th February auction is a lot comprising ephemera and mementos relating to the team and its successes.

The ‘Busby Babes’ were the team of Manchester United footballers who progressed from the club’s youth ranks to the first team under the stewardship of the iconic manager Sir Matt Busby (1909-1994). A talented squad in their own right, they were on the verge of even greater success following triumphs in the 1948 FA Cup and the First Division title in 1952. However their story was cut tragically short in February 1958 when the plane they were travelling on from Belgrade, formerly Yugoslavia, crashed and killed 22 of the 40 on board in Munich.

On 26th February, a lot comprising football programmes, an autograph book with signatures of Manchester United footballers pre-Munich, and literature commemorating the squad will be up for sale with an estimate of £300-500
