Vintage Brown Enameled Coffee Pot


Large foreign made enameled steel coffee pot. It has a hinged lid, large handle and is decorated with hand painted abstract/floral design. I think this may have been added later. It has a little bit of corrosion around the lid and base but nothing too severe and could be restored with a little bit of effort. It would really suit the narrow boat "Castles & Roses" style, if you are so inclined.

Antique Ceramic House Number Tile - 8


Antique or vintage ceramic house number tile, featuring the number 8 as a bow festooned with violets. I'm not sure who it's by but it does have a registered design number, 563592, but I've been unable to trace the manufacturer. The design was registered in 1910. It has some crazing, one corner is chipped and there appears to be a well established hairline crack from one side to the middle of the 8 but it looks sound enough. Set in place it will be fine though and a steam clean will remove the worst of the ingrained grime. To be honest, I'm pretty certain it is unused, just old!

Antique Poppy Charger - Grimwade Brothers


Beautiful small oval charger or platter in the "Poppy" pattern by Grimwade Brothers. It bears the backstamp from the late 19th C before the company became a limited one, hence the "Grimwade Brothers" rather than "Grimwades". The plate is in excellent condition with only some very light unstained crazing and would grace any table in its current state.

Vintage Large Black Ravenstone Vase - Wedgwood


SOLD

Large trumpet and bulb shaped vase in gloss Ravenstone finish with fluted bulb and base. San serif impression, pre-1974 backstamp  " stamp and what could be a year mark for 1969 (or conversely an 8). There are several small faults: there is a small faint chip just visible on the inside of the rim that has been fairly well repaired and it looks as though someone has re-coloured around the rim to hide some blemishes. These two are more visible in very brioght sunlight but in normal light and in use will be barely noticeable. There is also a firing mark on the bulbous base in the form of a 2cm long line, this can be turned away. But it is still an impressive vase and these rarely come up for sale in this size

21cm x 14cm diameter

Small Japanese Inspired Studio Pottery Bowl



SOLD

Interesting small earthenwarebowl on short pedestal. Although a delicate design it's finished in quite a rustic fashion, with a tan glaze over the thick walls  allowing the surface blemishes to show through. It looks quite apanese in style but there's no mark so I have no idea of maker or age. Very nice looking piece though.
