Vintage Desk Tidy or Similar - Hotel Ware? Grimwades Royal Winton


SOLD

Unusual looking thing in white porcelain and to be honest, I'm not altogether sure what it is. The fact that it has a logo leads me to believe it's some kind of hotel ware; the logo though, a capital M & B either side of a star, crescent and a ♀ symbol, is unfamiliar. It has a groove at the front and four small holes at the back, presumably for standing something in. The one thing I can be sure of is the date, which is 1951/52, owing to the "A" quality mark on the backstamp. Any knowledge gratefully received! There are a couple of very small flea bites to the edges but otherwise it's in fine condition and will provide a talking point
