The answer from Andrew and Janice Dando is a resounding “Yes”, as you will see from March 1 to 15 at their new premises at 34 Market Street, Bradford on Avon, when some 150 beasts and friendly humans, mostly fresh stock, are offered at prices from around £100 to £10,000.
Some of the items have been held for ten months specifically for this show, which covers both pottery and porcelain of the 18th and 19th centuries.
As usual the exhibition is strong on Staffordshire but there is also Pratt Ware and some good 18th century Bow and Derby figures.
A special website has been built for this year’s exhibition and this will be accessible from noon on March 5 to give priority to those visiting the shop in person.
Free shipping is offered on most items over £250.
Dandos continue with animal magic
FOR nigh on a decade ceramics dealer Andrew Dando’s Spring exhibition, Animal Dando & Friends, has been a West Country institution, but since the firm moved from their long-time premises in Bath to Wiltshire last September many customers wondered if the show would go on.
