ERROL, HENRIETTE & HENRY MANNERS
Established in 1986 when Errol and Henriette left Christie’s after working in the Chinese and European ceramic departments. Henry joined in 2015. We have operated from a shop in Kensington Church Street since 1988.
We deal in ceramics, glass and enamels of the world from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. We focus on European pottery and porcelain of the 17th and 18th century and East Asian, Middle-Eastern and Mexican colonial period wares and ceramics of the Arts and Crafts and Modern Movement. We take particular pride in the quality and rarity of the pieces that we offer, many of which are now in the great museums and collections of the world.
