We had a delivery the other day of some Groggs which will be on offer in our next Find Art Sale.

Groggs to be auctioned in the 13th April Fine Art sale

Pottery Grogss have certainly proven popular in the past, and have typically sold very well & elicited much excitement amongst our Grogg loving followers.

Now, if you’re wondering why all the excitement about some figures, here’s a little history of Groggs.

Our next valuation day is this Friday, 14th of January and we’d love to see you there (with or without Groggs!).
