We’re
Back!
The Canadian Antiques Roadshow has been on hiatus, but we’re gearing
up for the 2006 tour!
Although we have yet to confirm the dates or the cities, we hope to have
everything firmed up in the near future…and you’ll be the
first to know. WATCH THIS SPACE!
In this month’s edition of the Canadian Antiques Roadshow newsletter,
we meet Coins and Medals expert Geoffrey Bell and learn about Wedgwood
that really isn't Wedgwood.
Meet
the Experts...
 Coin
appraiser Geoff Bell comes from a surprising background. He also loves
collectible paper such as photographs, cheques, documents and anything
related to banking over the years. "I have viewed museum pieces like
militia medals of the 1830’s, a hemp growing award medal of 1809,
a whole array of early aircraft photos with autographs, an Indian Chief
medal, Admiral Byrd’s first aid kit, hockey sticks, Stanley Cup
rings... " <more>
Is
it Wedgwood or is it… by Janet Carlile
 You
may think you are looking at English Wedgwood jasperware, but you're not.
What you see here is Canada's own version of the ever-popular pocelaneous
stoneware called Ecanada. This classic looking pottery was hailed by many
through the mid 20th century as upper-end decorative accessories stocked
by shops like the T. Eaton Co and Henry Birks. Even to the expert eye
these well made imitations have strong designs that are capable of standing
on their own. Only now do antiques shops seem to be taking notice of these
classics... <more>
