The launch of the fantastic new book on JampG Meakin pottery was held at The Wedgwood Visitors Centre Balaston Factory StokeonTrent on 7th October 2007. It was a great success with copies of the book flying out and the author Chris Marks signing them as quick as he could.... There was particular interest from the Japanese market who purchased many of the fab coffee sets Chris was selling.Even im getting hooked on the fantastic loud 1970s designs and suggest snapping it up now as i believe it will be the next Midwinter The book can be purchased through my website now... 2007-10-16T00:00:00Z http://www.pineappleicebucket.co.uk/page25.htm#12643 Just thought id mention to all my Meakin and Kitsch china fans who dont know I am currently writhing a book on the subject Hopefully it should be out next year and if your interested please feel free to email me and i can keep you informed...
