Valerie has been in the miniatures’ world for some 30 years and opened one of the first miniature shops in England. Many of her ceramic items are in Museums across Europe and are highly prized by many collectors.
Inspiration for her tea-pot and jug designs come from a variety of places.
An everyday activity such as putting her coffee cup on top of a pile of books while working, resulted in her “books & Coffee” tea-pot. The Bel Air hotel in Los Angeles houses the original “Cabbage Tureen” a signature piece created by Valerie. Names such as Clarice Cliff, Wedgewood and Staffordshire all come to mind when viewing Valerie’s numerous miniatures. Her inspiration strikes a chord with so many enthusiasts and the simple quality of what she produces speaks for itself.
