Coalport's figurine production effectively ended after Wedgwood, Coalport's owner, ceased trading around the year 2007, which means all English made Coalport figurines are now finite in number, ensuring retention of their value. All of these Coalport Figurines are from my personal collection which was accumulated in the 1990s. Sadly, they all have to go because I'm moving to a much smaller house and won't have room for the extensive number of collectables that I accumulated with my wife over 30 plus years. Please look at my shop, Cambridgeshire Collectables - lots more figurines and collectables of all sorts, mostly in excellent or mint condition.
That will make wonderful gifts for family and friends. If you are a trader or are looking to give your collections an immediate boost, please contact me.
