Pair of Blue Art Nouveau Inspired Vases - Shirley Ware

SOLD

I have no idea about these at all. A search on Shirley Ware yields nothing bar a picture of a similar vase and nothing about the company. Possibly English, probably mass produced. Certainly the gilding is hand applied but the roses are transfers. They are graduated blue with pink decoration and art nouveau influences around the neck and handles. They do have a certain charm and while the finish is a little careless in places they are not chipped or cracked. Would make ideal theatrical props.

Pair of Vintage Green Stoneware Vases

This is a pair of green aerographed stoneware vases, flared at both ends. While they are ostensibly identical, one is slightly shorter with a slightly smaller base suggesting they are individually thrown rather than moulded. There is a small unglazed spot on the rim of the smaller one, too. The only marking is an impressed W on the base of each. The larger of the two has a few paint spatterings on it that can be removed. The coating, colour, style and moreover, feel, suggest they are of a good vintage, possibly 1920s although I am being deliberately vague and non-committal. A nice pair.

Set of Miniature Blue Vases - Garuda Indonesian Airlines Souvenir

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.
