Paul Bohanna Antiques
Specialist in Antique British Earthenware and Stoneware Ceramics.

Welcome to Paul Bohanna Antiques. Here you will find a diverse range of antique ceramics and glass as well as a wide selection of specialist pottery and porcelain books. All current stock is available to purchase directly from the new, and easily searchable, online shop.
   However this website is intended to be more than just a shop, it also includes information about antique ceramics as well as numerous image galleries which it is hoped will serve as a learning or research resource (see Ceramics Types). The aim is to continually update and improve it’s usefulness and to encourage even wider appreciation of antique ceramics and British ceramics in particular.

Paul Bohanna Antiques is based in England. I am able to ship to a large number of overseas destinations, provided that they have secure postal services. If your country is not specified in the shopping cart then please contact me directly and I will do my best to see if I am able to accommodate your requirements.

If you have any questions or specific ceramic / pottery / glass related interests, or you have feedback about the website, or even just to say hello, then I would welcome you getting in contact.

I offer only genuine antiques which are accurately described and dated, with full condition reports. I also present research about each item where possible. With over 40 years of experience in the field of antique ceramics, you can be assured of professional service and genuine knowledge.

As well as dealing in antiques I have many years of experience in a wide range of other ceramics fields, including research, archaeology and collecting, as well as being a studio artist potter (see my other website here). My aim is to continually advance my own knowledge whilst sharing with others.

My experience in both domestic and international markets ensures that you will receive the highest standards of service. All pots, glass and books are securely and professionally packed for your full peace of mind. With full printed receipts provided with every order as standard.

Shape clay into a vessel;
It is the space within that makes it useful.
(Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching)

…it depends on how you define useful…
surely beauty is also useful
