To celebrate the launch of its inaugural Wedgwood pram collector's event the Wedgwood Museum is launching a search for owners of Wedgwood prams, specifically the Wilson Antibes prams (featuring two Wedgwood Jasper plaques) which are highly sought after and collectable. Wedgwood supplied Lawrence Wilson & Son with 500 pairs of such plaques in 1959 in 3 colours - white on pale blue, white on sage green and white on lilac. Pale blue was the most popular colour, followed by sage green and with lilac the most rare.
The Wedgwood Museum is hoping to gather together as many of the prams and their owners for the event to be held on Saturday 17th March 2012 (10am-4pm) and it is anticipated that this will be the major pram collectors event of the year. Alan Halsall, Chairman of Silver Cross prams, will give a presentation on this wonderful iconic English brand and other talks will feature on the general history of prams together with opportunities for questions and answers.
A donation will be made to the Donna Louise Children's Hospice Trust which provides care and support services for children from Staffordshire and South Cheshire with shortened life expectancy or those who, due to illness or injury, have a life threatening or life limiting condition.
Tickets for this event are available from 17th January and cost £10.00 for adults and £5.00 for children and can be purchased from Julie Austin of the Pram Community Committee whose contact details are julieann1972@live.co.uk.
