We are very sad to report the passing of John McGhie, a passionate collector of Dennis Chinaworks for many years. He specialised in rare designs and minatures. The collection took over the house but John could usually find a vase he had squirelled away. As a hard working Criminal Lawyer he worked long unsociable hours and at the drop of a hat would be on the road to Somerset chasing an unusual prize. His two Children were very sympathetic and tolerent.
John had a rare collecting passion - 'Carvacraft' - he might have been the only one and would ask at antique fairs if anyone had any - "No" was the answer "What is it ?" "Oh - never mind" would say John and move on.

Very sad to report that D.C.W. retailer Mary Whettem died of cancer on Saturday 13th April.
Mary was an important and much loved member of the team. Well known at Shepton Mallet where she would man a most beautiful and professional stand. Her open days in Sussex were legendery. Her collectors became a band of friends and Mary supported by her husband Andy looked after them all with great aplomb. Mary will be sorely missed. Her funeral is at Holly Cross Church, Bignor on Tuesday 30th April at 2.30pm.

Based on a drawing by L.S.Lowry this authorised edition have been created by the Dennis Chinaworks and designed by Sally Tuffin.
She has taken Lowry’s original work and interpreted it to work seamlessly around a three dimensional vase.
The 10 inch pot is hand thrown on a wheel by Rory Mcleod and hand painted by Vanessa Thompson using brush techniques which make the pot unmistakably a Lowry.

Dennis Chinaworks has made a stunning cup for Professor Jonathan Mallinson, the retiring Dean of Trinity College Oxford.
Presented to the college it will be displayed with college commemoratives.
The shape is inspired by the carved wooden chalice by Grindling Gibbons in the 17th century college chapel.
The cup is decorated with a pattern fronm the wrought iron gates of the college and impressed with the quotation
'All that is gold does not glitter' and a latin inscription which translates 'A fellow gave this chalice to the fellows with much affection - 2017'.
Thrown by Rory Mcleod, designed by Sally Tuffin & decorated by Theresa Blackmore.
