BUCKING the trend in a challenging marketplace for Victorian ceramics, two enthusiasts have launched a new business dealing in Staffordshire figures.
RTS Antiques brings together Damon Revans-Turner, 48, proprietor of Liverpool Antiques & Collectables, and Alan Sturrock, 63, a retired Cheshire lawyer and keen collector of Staffordshire since his teenage years.
His specialism is the so-called ‘Alpha’ factory which produced figures from the beginning of Queen Victoria’s reign to around the time of The Great Exhibition.
