CRAFTED by DESIGN is the name of my busy store on eBay. I began the store in 2009, and quickly became a “power seller” and “top rated seller”‘ . I havent looked back since! It’s something I really enjoy doing and I’m always on the lookout for interesting and special items to list in the store. It is also such a pleasure to sell to an audience who already admire what they are purchasing, and in most cases know a lot about it.
- Carltonware Rouge Royale - Handpainted Vase c1950
I specialise in Retro (mainly 1950′s – 1970′s) and Vintage wares from Denmark, United Kingdom and Australia – both studio made and factory made. There is just something magical about things from the 1950′s-1970′s that you don’t find in other eras.
The term “Crafted by Design” comes from the fact that the best of design – especially in ceramics from this era – often has the appearance of being handmade or handcrafted. I am especially attracted to Danish pottery as it is always of such high quality and aesthetic. My blog Retro Pottery Net complements the eBay store, by documenting my research as I go.

My focus is on giving my customers a pleasant experience from start to finish. I focus on good presentation and photography when listing, to capture the pieces at their best….and I put equally as much effort in to correct and careful packaging – there is nothing worse to receive a beautiful piece that is badly packed in a shoddy box, or even damaged through lack of care. I also have a huge range of goods for sale from $20 up to $1,000 – but always keep the focus on attractive, well designed products.
