Vintage Owl Eye Mug with Leaf Design - Holkham Pottery

SOLD

I have attributed this to Holkham Pottery even though it is unmarked because as far as I know they produced this shape more than anyone else - if anyone else produced it at all. I do have a definite Holkham version and it is a little smaller but in all other respects apart from the picture and absence of a backstamp it's identical. Caramel coloured glaze with what could be either stamped or handpainted branch and leaf design. In excellent condition.

Vintage Turquoise Blue Fawn - Baby Deer - Anglia Pottery

These bright turquoise ornaments are so distinctlive it is amazing that so little is known about Anglia Pottery of Billinghay in Lincolnshire that even locals in the village itself are surprised it ever existed. But it did and it produced these wonderfully collectable items. This is a fawn with the number AP 156 on the base and it's in excellent condition.

Vintage Large French "Mushroom" Terrine - Pillivuyt

SOLD

Very nice but quite large and heavy green and brown vessel and plate by Pillivuyt of France. I'm not sure of its purpose; it could be a storage jar or large terrine, although there was a smaller version made which was more suitable for that. It has a pair of mushrooms as a finial/handle on the lid and the edges are crimped diagonally. It's heavy enough to be stoneware but the clay is white and fine so probably porcelain. There is a small surface chip on the edge of the plate but otherwise it's in excellent condition.

Studio Pottery Mug - Colin Pearson?

Very distinctive studio pottery stoneware mug. Slender, dark green glaze, with a small handle at the base. It does have a mark although it is not altogether clear but it does look a lot like that of the renowned, although now sadly late, Colin Pearson and there are some similarities with his early table ware. If it is, this would date it to pre-1971. There is a small chip to the glaze near the top handle join that looks to be related to something in the glaze as it's a little uneven just there but it's still a fine mug though and a chance to own something by one of our most revered potters.

A lot of interest in this one already - A splendid stoneware storage jar by John Leach's Muchelney Pottery on the Somerset Levels. It's not their current toasted finish, rather a speckled creamy wash but the shape is the same, down to the distinctive score line around the centre. Needless to say, it's in excellent condition.

The Big Book of Sports - 1956

Bit of a mystery this but interesting nonetheless. It's the "Big Book of Sports", a 78 page annual published in 1956, somewhere between the Olympic equestrian events held in Sweden that year and the main event in Melbourne later in the year. It covers a wide range of sports and has a mixture of black and white and those spooky coloured black and white prints. Odd, especially as some of the prints are quite familiar in their original form. In pretty good condition with only minimal wear although the dust cover is a bit torn and stained.
