Born and raised in the Staffordshire Potteries, my family have been involved with the ceramic industry over many generations. This connection, and the fact that slip runs through my veins(!) provided the spark for an early appreciation of antique ceramics, further refined through my career at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery.

I started Juno Antiques in 2007, initially dealing from the Red Teapot arcade on London’s world-famous Portobello Road. Specialist fairs soon followed and in addition to helping people build their antique ceramic collections, I have sold pottery and porcelain to international museums including Temple Newsam House in the UK and the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation in the US.
