Vintage Bar Water Jug - Grant's Scotch - Wade Regicor

Cobalt blue bar jug by Wade Regicor advertising Grant's Scoth Whisky. The logos are in gold and there are hand painted gold lines around the rim and down the handle. The backstamp could be either one of two dating the jug to any time between 1950 and 1966 but I can't quite tell which one!  It is in very good condition indeed with only minimal age related wear.

16cm x 15cm (h)

Cobalt Blue Coffee Cup and Saucer - Martell Cognac - Apilco?

SOLD

Heavy porcelain coffee cup and saucer in deep and vivid cobalt blue with gold edging and bright white on the inside. Both cup and saucer are marked with the Martell Cognac name and logo on their undersides. There's no maker's name but they are very reminiscent of a range by Apilco of France and I would be happy to bet that they are. They are in excellent condition although there are a few small marks to the surfaces of the saucer but the deep colour hides these well. 

Cup: 9cm across handle x 4.5cm
Saucer: 12cm

Large Cobalt Blue Double Handled Jug/vase - Luxor 1001

Tall art deco style double handled jug in cobalt blue. It is marked on the base "Made in England 1001 Luxor" but I have no real idea of the date or the manufacturer. I have seen them listed as 1920s but clues are few and far between. The Museum of Ceramics in Caldas da Rainha, Portugal have a different coloured one but again, no clues! Slight imperfection in the glaze in one spot otherwise it looks to be in fantastic condition.
