Welcome

The Agora is an Australian magazine for readers everywhere. The Agora is dedicated to the discussion of 20th Century ceramics. It is written to be of long term relevance.

The magazine aims to provide readers with evidence-based information about the works of major ceramic manufacturers including Wilkinson/Royal Staffordshire/Clarice Cliff, Susie Cooper, Noritake and others.

The newly published book "Comprehensively Clarice Cliff: An Atlas of Over 2,000 Patterns, Shapes and Backstamps" by Greg Slater and Johnathon Brough, can also be purchased from this website.

Articles are illustrated, descriptive in nature and, where possible, contain excerpts from primary sources such as pattern books and other factory archives. Reviews of market activity, new books and items of general interest are included.

We hope that this information will not only help collectors to make informed choices about their acquisitions as but also be of interest to the non-collector who is interested in ceramics of the last century,

Subscribers are encouraged to submit articles for publication.
