THE LOVE OF ANTIQUES

Bio/Intro:
My name is Marra-Marie Magsakay and I am currently attending Ohlone College. I hope to transfer to SFSU or SJSU to become a journalist/reporter in the near future then possibly succeed in becoming a magazine editor. My mother is in love with antiques. She brought me along with her (for the first time) to Niles in early August of 2011. Since that visit, I've fell in love with antiques and music from the 50's, 60's, and 70's.

ROYAL WORCESTER PORCELAIN

Early history
Dr John Wall, a physician, and William Davis, an apothecary, developed a unique method for producing porcelain and, in 1751, persuaded a group of 15 businessmen to invest in a new factory at Warmstry House, Worcester, England, on the banks of the River Severn. Dr Wall secured the sum of £4500 from the partners to establish the factory, known then as "The Worcester Tonquin Manufactory" - the original partnership deeds are still housed in the Museum of Worcester Porcelain.[1][2]

ARTS AND CRAFTS

The Arts and Crafts Movement was an international design movement that originated in England[1] and flourished between 1880 and 1910, continuing its influence up to the 1930s.[2] Instigated by the artist and writer William Morris (1834–1896) in the 1860s[1] and inspired by the writings of John Ruskin (1819–1900), it had its earliest and fullest development in the British Isles[2] but spread to Europe and North America[3] as a reaction against the impoverished state of the decorative arts and the conditions under which they were produced.[4] The movement advocated truth to materials and traditional craftsmanship using simple forms and often medieval, romantic or folk styles of decoration. It also proposed economic and social reform and has been seen as essentially anti-industrial.[4][5]
