Vintage Charrington Jubilee Stout Ashtray

Vintage Portuguese made pub ashtray advertising Charrington's Jubilee Stout. Rectangular with an oval bowl featuring the Jubilee Stout name and the Charrington Toby jug logo. The company merged with Bass in the late 1960s so I would hazard that this is from the early to mid 1960s. The gold edging is a little worn in places and there's a little chip on one edge but otherwise it's in very good condition.

SOLD

Cream or milk jug dating from around the 1930s in the Royal Buff range by WH Goss and featuring the verse from "Little Brown Jug". The butterscotch jug is decorated with brown lines along the handle and around the rim and is in pretty much perfect condition. I can't see any cracks or chips but there are one or two very faint marks to the surface, which is to be expected.

Vintage Pink Lustreware Majestic Window Vase - Sadler

SOLD

Wide, boat shaped window vase in the Majestic pattern by Sadler. It is finished in pink lustre glaze with gilded handles and edge. Unusually, it still has the dedicated wire lattice arranging frame. The gilding is a touch worn in places, especially around the pedestal. There is also an original notch in one of the scallop 'v's on the rim near one of the handles. A very fine hairline crack, barely visible, has extended from this for a cm or two but it doesn't appear to be threatening the integrity of the vase. The Sadler impression on the base is of pre WW2 vintage but the plastic coating of the wire frame would seem to negate that era and I suspect this may be possibly be post-war. Nice looking piece though  .

Large Japanese Style Studio Pottery Teapot

Large capacity teapot, about the size of a small watermelon, in a very Japanese inspired design. I am unsure of its provenance. It is unmarked but someone has written "Jap Portreath Pottery" on the base in blue marker. I can find no reference to a pottery in Portreath so it's a bit of a mystery. The design is a fairly common one, used by many studios so no clues there, either. It has loops each side of the lid for a bamboo or wicker handle so a degree of craftmanship will be required to make this serviceable but in all other respects it's in excellent condition.

Vintage Colour Guide to Compton Acres, Poole

Very much in the style and design of the Pitkin Pictorial range this appears to be an independently published official guide to the gardens of Compton Acres in Poole, Dorset. Judging by the telephone numbers used in the book and the advert on the back inside cover it would appear to date from the early 1970s, although considerable portions of the text appear more dated. Regardless, it is fully illustrated with many colour and b & w pictures and is in very good condition with only very light wear.

Handpainted OS Pattern Vase - E. Radford

Pale and mottled duck-egg blue vase handpainted in the OS pattern by E.Radford. The pattern is beautifully rendered, the decorator's mark resembling a green % or a diagonal obelus (a mathematical division mark. Don't say eBay isn't educational). Some light crazing, stained on the inside. There is a light crack running down the neck between the blue and red flowers and there's a possibility the top of the crack at the rim could have been repaired but it is not intrusive and the vase would serve well as a collection filler. The start price reflects the damage.
