Texian Campaigne Database Update Posted by Weston Palmer on July 11, 2008, 6:29 am 98.208.249.232 I have just added 6 more listings under Texian Campaigne, so there are currently 9 listings as of July 9, and all three marks, JB, A Shaw and T Walker, are represented. We have attributed the series to James Beech, and plan shortly to submit an article in that regard for the next bulletin. The KEY listing does, however, still advise caution regarding the attribution.  Post a Response

Re: Texian Campaigne Database Update Posted by Sam on July 16, 2008, 5:13 pm, in reply to "Texian Campaigne Database Update" 68.193.72.122 Can someone tell me what the number stamped on the back means if anything at all? I have a texian campaigne plate stamped JB and the number 4. Also, it is normal to have a "misprint" in the border? Not sure how to describe it but in the border, there is one small section that looks like the picture is cut off. Is this normal? Thanks.  Post a Response

Abbreviated borders are usually because the plate? is small, like a cup plate (3-4 inches) or a toddy plate (4-6 inches).  Post a Response

Re: Texian Campaigne Database Update Posted by Sam on July 16, 2008, 6:31 pm, in reply to "Re: Texian Campaigne Database Update" 68.193.72.122 Thanks for the response. The plate is a dinner size (10 1/4 inches or so). Just curious if that was ok. Do you know if this pattern is generally difficult to find? I would like to find some others...  Post a Response

Re: Texian Campaigne Database Update Posted by Web Administrator on July 17, 2008, 1:16 pm, in reply to "Re: Texian Campaigne Database Update" 76.216.8.49 Hi Sam: Texian Campaigne is certainly not uncommon. It is (no surprise) popular in Texas to this day. A number of our dealer members (see web site for links) carry it from time to time; if you don't see it on their web sites, contact them anyway, as not all of the dealers show their entire inventory. I also have seen the pattern offered from time to time on EBAY, other auctions, and antique shows.  Post a Response

Wa;ters on July 14, 2008, 12:05 pm, in reply to "Texian Campaigne Database Update" 69.72.113.171 Several weeks ago on tv, The Antiques Roadshow?, discussed Texian Campaigne, and the makers given were Shaw, Walker, and Beech. It may have been by a curator at The Witte Museum.  Post a Response

I think our research shows that Beech was the potter with the copper plates and Walker,and later Shaw, acquired those plates and continued production, plus added their initials or names to the mark. Shortly we should be submitting a paper to the Bulletin in that regard.  Post a Response
