The Bath Antiques Show will conclude its 24th season on Sunday, April 14 at the Bath Middle School in Bath. The featured dealer will be Tim Gaudet, a Midcoast area dealer with over 40 years experience in fine quality Victorian glass and porcelain.

Gaudet’s specialty is Royal Bayreuth porcelain, which was produced in Tettau, Germany at the turn of the last century. Royal Bayreuth was one of the original porcelain manufacturers sanctioned and approved by European royal families and noted for its high quality and the wide variety of wares produced.

Royal Bayreuth was most noted for the variety of shapes of people, birds, animals and flowers, and its expensive tapestry porcelain with cloth-like texture and children’s pieces such as the Sunbonnet Babies series. Gaudet is a charter member and former president of the Royal Bayreuth Collectors Club and author of three articles on Royal Bayreuth.

Gaudet will be bringing some rare examples of tea strainers, salt and pepper shakers and very scarce tapestry examples including shoes and toothpick holders for display. He will also have for sale mint, unused copies of the original Royal Bayreuth book by Virginia Salley, out of print since 1969.

This last show of the 2013 season will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Bath Middle School on Congress Avenue in Bath, Maine. It is easily accessible from the Congress Avenue exit of Route 1. Posted signs at the intersection will direct drivers the short distance to the school. Admission is $4.

The show also offers a full café, featuring an assortment of homemade cooking at reasonable prices, which can be enjoyed in the dedicated seating area.
