Vintage Large Shallow Stoneware Planter



SOLD

Large shallow stoneware bowl or more likely, planter. I have no idea of the age, it may be quite vintage although it has a vague similarity to some of the Hartley's of Castleford stoneware of the 50s and 60s. It has what appears to be the residue from some kind of decoration - perhaps it was painted at one time, either sold as such or at a later date. It's otherwise in very good condition and still very useful.

Vintage Retro Three Compartment Wooden Tray - Greco - Finnar



SOLD

Rather nice solid dark wood, possibly teak,  oval snack tray. It's divided into three compartments and was made in England by Greco. There is another mark on the base, "Finnar" and a tree-like symbol, presumably the timber distributer or grower. I vaguely remember both these names from my youth but can find no trace of them now. There are a few signs of wear but the marks are confined pretty much to the surface and with a couple of hours' work this will look as good as new. Lovely piece of retro kit for your 60s and 70s inspired evenings.

Vintage Handpainted Cup or Creamer - Enoch Boulton?



I am doubly puzzled by this. It's definitely vintage, possibly 50s or 60s or even earlier and it's hand painted, however we've been unable to decipher the signature although I'm pretty certain it's a B at the start but after I'm clueless. I think it's "Boulton". If so, is it Enoch Boulton? Did he do anything as subdued as these pretty blue and brown leaves with their raised dots? Also, I'm pretty certain it's a coffee cup but Zoe, my partner, thinks it's a jug. In excellent condition although as I'm sure you're aware, I cannot guarantee anything so I am always grateful for any help.

Vintage Green Vase - SylvaC 4366



Deep bottle green vase by SylvaC, mould number 4366. The colour and the diagonally ribbed decoration on the side is very reminiscent of the Wyncraft homewares from the 60s - obviously a very popular style. It's in fantastic condition.
