Troika fans beware!

Back in Newlyn's recent creative past, ware from a local pottery became popular with tourists visiting the area. The Troika pottery produced earthenware pots in a distinctive style very much of the day 1970s (you either loved it or were only too glad when the vase someone bought you was knocked off the shelf by the cat and smashed). When the company ceased trading the moulds were not destroyed, instead they ended up in a garden shed 'up North'. But now there are concerns amongst collectors that the market is seeing a growing number of fakes available on the auction site Ebay - see the full story here.
