Contracted this company to clear the flat of my deceased mother. Two young guys cleared EVERYTHING out of the rented property, including furniture, carpets, ornaments, white goods and food/household products, politely, efficiently, and respectfully. Excellent service.

The guys from Northern House Clearance have just cleared a house for me in Scotland. The house was packed not only with a lifetimes worth of memories, but all the clutter that goes with it. Within 2 days it was emptied down to the floorboards. A great job from a good team of lads. Highly recommended.

An excellent 5 star service. Firstly the compassion shown due to the circumstances which resulted in having to use their services, not just on the phone but by the team who arrived, on time, to perform the job. Above all a friendly attitude goes a long way in stressful times. Professional from the start to the end of the day and due to the amount of clutter a second day was needed. I could not believe how much was cleared in just one day, it was as if the clutter had it's own clutter to clear. Hope that I never need to use them again, but if I have to clear another property they will be the only people that I call. Highly recommend them. G.Hatton. Cheshire.

The team arrived bang on time and began work immediately. They continued for five solid days and completed the entire clearance of my late uncles house, which was a case of extreme hoarding over many decades. They even removed carpets, curtains and swept up so the house was ready for sale. They were exeptionally hard working, polite and charged a reasonable price for this incredibly difficult job. Terrific service, absolutely recommended.

English Delftware | Appraisals And Valuations Online

English Delftware is tin-glazed earthenware that was first made in the United Kingdom around 1550. The style went out of fashion and stopped being made around the early 18th century. At its most popular it was being heavily produced in areas such as Bristol, Liverpool and London, with lower, but still notable areas of production in Glasgow and Dublin. It is called English Delftware to differentiate it from Dutch Delftware, on which it was based, which was produced in and around the city of Delft in Holland. Delftware first started being produced when Flemish potters fled to England from the Low Countries to avoid religious persecution by the Spanish. They brought their pottery styles and production processes with them. Pottery from this early period is hard to distinguish from that which was imported from Holland as they hardly differed.

English Delft

As the English Delftware industry started to become established noticeable divergences occurred from that of the Dutch industry. The styles of paintings, shapes and techniques began to change in order to meet the demands of a new market. Many pieces of English delft have particularly British paintings or commemorations on them that can allow even a novice collector to tell them apart from their Dutch counterparts. For example, one of the earliest known dated pieces of English delft, made in 1600, is inscribed with the message “THE ROSE IS RED THE LEAVES ARE GRENE GOD SAVE ELIZABETH OUR QUEENE”.

Process

The methods used to create English delft were simpler than those used by the Dutch. Most continental potters used a transparent overglaze on their pieces, something that English potters of the time rarely did. Many things were made from delftware including mugs, plates, candlesticks, salt pots, wine bottles, and paving tiles. Large dishes made of delft were especially popular, both for their decorations and utility. Delft was often used to commemorate important events, such as weddings. While English delft is popular among collectors, the price a piece can attract, as with most antique pottery, can in large part be determined by the maker of the piece. The maker can usually be determined by the mark they left on the item.
