Blue Airbus Carabiner Keyring - With Packaging


Original metalic blue carabiner type keyring produced by Airbus. It comes with the original black envelope, although obviously this has been opened and three rings. There is a mark near the clip but close examination suggests this isn't a scratch rather an area that escaped being coated and otherwise the ring is in excellent condition.

10cm x 10cm (packet)

Vintage Large Monochrome Blue Tankard 156/20/M3 - Buchan Stoneware

Very large, and quite wonderful, monochrome blue tankard, in the 156 shape. Very difficult to age. The shape was probably in use in the 1940s although this particular item could be earlier or later. It is though in splendid condition.

Vintage Green Preserve Pot Poole Pottery


Simple green (not sure of the colour - tourquoise?) preserve pot from Poole Pottery. The backstamp dates it to between 1967 and 1972 but I'm not sure of the design. I suspect it may have had a lid at one time and that would have helped nail it down. It's in excellent condition.

Set of 5 Beakers with Impressed Dragon and Landscape Design



SOLD

Marvellous set of 5 beakers in blue and aqua marine featuring a design of a dragon overflying some hills and the sea. One hill has a house atop it, another a flag pole and there are fish swimming in the sea. The  image is impressed with a variety of shapes but is pretty much identical on each beaker. They are marked on the base with a kite shaped mark, possibly a C on a V. I have been unable to trace this so would be grateful for any information. They are rather nice, regardless and all in excellent condition. Please read the postage information.

Vintage Handpainted Blue Vase - Dragon Pottery Rhayader



Mid-sized vase by the popular and highly collectable Dragon Pottery of Rhayader, Wales. This is in the less common blue colouring. It is crazed, as is fairly usual, but someone has stood a pink felt-tip pen inside it and the stain has spread through the crazing and the base resulting in a penny sized pink smudge on the underside as well as a stain inside. Can't see it in normal usage though but it may indicate that it won't be that good at holding water. Dried flowers only!

Vintage Slipware Vase - Schofields Penrith



SOLD

Vintage earthenware vase by Schofield's/Wetherigg's Pottery of Penrith. It has a blue and white drip glaze and is marked Schofield Penrith on the base. Always difficult to date. Schofields ran the pottery from the mid-19th century and it was in the same hands for over a hundred years. It used several marks in that time but not in any particular order and this one could have been used any time from 1920 onwards. It is quite crazed but is in otherwise excellent condition.

SOLD

A set of seven miniature vases in two-tone blue glaze. They are individually numbered on the bases, 1-9 although numbers 2 & 4 are missing. They each have a small white eagle logo on them, which I think is the logo for Garuda Indonesia Airlines. All in excellent condition.

Largest: 7cm x 4cm

Vintage Blue Mug - Holkham Pottery



SOLD

Large and very distinctive blue mug by Holkham Pottery.  It's decorated with festoons around the necks and belly and has the number T117 impressed on the base. Apart from being crazed it's in very good condition. Holkham ceased production in 2008, I think this dates from around the late 1960s - early 70s.

Vintage Stoneware Oil Pourer - Kathy Cartledge





SOLD

Lovely stoneware bottle, with handle, in blue with wax resist band around it. I thought it was Bentham Pottery but was thrown by the KC impressed on the base until I discovered that Kathy Cartledge founded Bentham Pottery and this was her mark between 1971 & 1980. It is in excellent condition for something that could be in excess of 40 years old with the glaze still having a high gloss.

Vintage English Made Small Bud Vase



Nice looking English-made aquamarine and green bulb-shaped bud vase. It's rather in the style of Anglia Pottery and but there's no AP mark on the base so the real maker is a mystery. It is in excellent condition though.
