Dayton Ohio Picked for 2011 Royal Bayreuth Convention
Dayton Ohio – July 18, 2011 The Royal Bayreuth Collectors Club President, Alvin Cappel, is pleased to announce that the club will hold its annual convention in Dayton Ohio. The big event will take place September 15, 16, & 17th at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Dayton Ohio.
The club is proud of the many exciting & educational sessions in store at its conventions each year. The always-popular auction promises to be extra special.
The club will also be offering a “Royal Bayreuth Auction Stimulus Deal” eliminating BOTH the buyer's and seller's premiums. As further incentive, the fee for no sale/not meeting reserve will be dropped.
Of course, you must be a paid member in good standing to buy or sell at the club’s annual auction. But at just $30 for an annual membership this is a very economical way to buy or sell such wonderful porcelain.
President Cappel, with support of the club board and membership, voted to extend this offer to help Royal Bayreuth collectors enjoy the fellowship, education, and excitement of increasing their collections at the convention.
Royal Bayreuth is a fine porcelain coveted by collectors since the mid 1800’s. Vintage pieces, generally the focus of the club, were produced through the early 1900’s. The factory in Tettau Germany is still in operation today making fine dinnerware.
The pieces are made out of hard paste porcelain, hand-painted, and found in hundreds of sizes, shapes, & patterns. The figural pieces are particularly colorful & whimsical – and bring smiles to collectors worldwide. Perhaps you've already come across a giant red lobster water pitcher while antiquing and didn’t know that there were hundreds of other intriguing pieces to be found from this inventive company!
To see just how unusual they are, visit the club’s website: www.royalbayreuth.org The 2011 Auction List available there will provide an intriguing cross-section with over 125 pieces of Royal Bayreuth. Excellent resource books are also available at your library or bookstore. Two of the best are authored by charter member Mary McCaslin, and contain many beautiful examples of the pieces.
But the best way to see and experience Royal Bayreuth is to attend the annual convention. There you will have a chance to purchase pieces from other collectors, share stories about rare finds, and learn how to correctly identify these fine pieces.
