The Transferware Channel

Welcome to the first transferware dedicated channel on You Tube. 

My name is Richard Halliday and I am an author, specialist antiques dealer and a full-time PhD researcher. I am a fifth-generation antiques dealer. I have been dealing full-time since 1998, but grew up in the trade. I am a committee member of the Spode Society, specifically the ‘Public Relations Officer’. The Spode Society was formed in 1986 and is a collectors’ club that was set up to research, promote and understand the wares produced by the Spode factory. 

I am a trustee of the Spode Museum Trust. The Spode Museum Trust was established in 1987 to preserve and protect the massive Spode archive for future generations. I have written four books on blue and white transferware and many articles for the Transferware Collectors Club and the Spode Society Review. 

My research title is: The transferware engraver; practice, scope and impact at the Spode Works
