Tiverton 4 Corners Antiques Show - July 3 2010 -


Always A Wonderful Antiques Show!
A Perfect Country Day!
Special Antiques!
Special People!



I decided to try a booth in patriotic colors this year and was pleased with the results.





My Early English White Ironstone collection was perfect with red and blue English Transferware to give me the desired effect.









Since we were live close by we were able to include some of our early country furniture pieces







A Perfect Day At A Country Antiques Show!
Perhaps Next Year You Can Visit Us There!

Another Common Question -






At the Antiques Shows we participate in we are often asked - What are these? They are referring to Drainers.

When Drainers were originally produced in the mid 1800’s they were partnered with a platter. The most beautiful were made by the English potters in their transferware designs. However, they are also found in the undecorated white ironstone.

These Drainers have become highly collectible - both in the charming transferware designs or in the simplicity of white ironstone.

A wall display of a collection of Drainers can be quite stunning - as well as a very special way to enjoy living with wonderful pieces of the past!!

And Now -



Holly Lane Antiques has evolved through the past ten years to what it is today. I rarely sell on Ebay any more - now concentrating my efforts on our internet store at the Antique Arts website. We do continue to participate in a full schedule of Antiques Shows - mostly in the New England area but also in Southern California where we spend a part of the year. Antique Haviland Limoges china remains our specialty and I still wonder at its beauty when I discover a pattern for the first time. Our inventory of Haviland China is numbered at many, many hundreds of pieces and is constantly changing. My passion for early White Ironstone continues and my collection grows continually. And we continue to round out our inventory - as suggested to us so many years ago - to include antique and vintage linens, silver and glass along with collectible china of other makers. Our latest and growing interest has been in English Transferware. We hope you will visit our internet store and perhaps some day be able to visit our booth at an Antique Show.
