stivesmodernhas existed for 3 years now although I myself have 13 years experience in the field of

Studio Pottery and Contemporary Ceramics from working in galleries to auction houses

and also buying and selling ceramics myself.

We have steadily built a reputation for reliable, impartial and informative advice

 on all aspects of buying and selling Studio Pottery and Contemporary Ceramics.

stivesmodern offer a variety of services including...

• a freelance consultancy service for the Auction House and Private Individual looking to sell
  

anything from a single item to a whole collection.

• a wish list facility for the Collector looking to buy work by a particular potter or pottery.

• a comprehensive valuation service for the Private Collector or Museums and Galleries.

Through stivesmodern I aim to advise the seller, aid the collector and encourage the amateur so that

others can enjoy this area of collecting as much as I do!
