Present for new pottery collector

Hi

My parents have in the last year started to enjoy collecting different items of pottery - they like Royal Copenhagen figurines the most. I know they are interested in collecting antique silver.

If you are a collector of items like the above what would you enjoy for a gift?

Are they are antique collector books or magazine subscriptions that you particularly like?

Not sure what budget will be yet as may pool with my siblings.
Give me the boy until he's seven and i'll give you the man.

    What about a Royal Copenhagen figurine?

    I had thought of buying a figurine. I actually live in Denmark which is where they buy a lot of their items when they visit.

    However they are both extremely set in what they like and I really don't want to spend a lot on something that they wouldn't love.

    I know they are interested in expanding their interests to other items so wanted things to help them with this.

    Thanks for the suggestion though - I do appreciate it.

  • How about something from Royal Crown Derby - they do a nice range of "paperweights" which also hold their value well (according to a friend who is a retired antiques dealer)

    Maybe a nice silver box with their initials on?
