Beautiful small squashed cylinder vase from Estonia with blue impressed and sgraffito flowers on a green and yellow sunburst ground.

Vintage 1950s Albert Hallam designed jug in copper lustre on black. Largest size of the series, conical in shape with a sloping spout. It has the pattern number 1553-1, the 1 being the size. It's in pretty good condition with only a little bit of wear to the lustre around the base and spout.

Set of 5 Vintage Small Etched Liqueur Glasses



Very nice set of five crystal brandy or liqueur glasses. Although vaguely brandy balloon shaped they are quite small and the stem is non-existent, however they are etched with bunches of grapes so one would think for a grape based drink such as brandy. They are foreign made - at least one is labelled as such - and ring like crystal. I think they are also in their original wrapping, which is a multi layered gold coloured plastic tissue, the kid of which I've never seen before. All in excellent condition. 
8.5cm x 6.5cm max diameter

Vintage Three Piece Cruet Set & Tray - Fosters of Cornwall


Salt & pepper shakers and oil/vinegar bottle with matching tray by Fosters of Redruth in their familiar brown and white honeycomb glaze. The tray is marked with the Foster's name and I have sold similar items in the past with the original labels so the cruet is the original set. Unfortunately the pepper pot is cracked and while it is entire at the moment it probably will not survive long. They are not uncommon though and a replacement should be easy to source. The stopper is in good condition so should you find one without, you have a replacement! I may even have one in stock so please feel free to check my shop and combine if you wish.

Novelty Heart Shaped Teapot with Somerset Cottage Design - Lingard



SOLD

JUST ONE DAY LEFT TO BID ON THIS!
Fairly large vintage heart shaped teapot with a picture of a Somerset Cottage on one side. The lid has a gilded key as a handle and the rest of the body is decorated with gilded flowers and hand painted gold lines on the handle and spout. It's impressed "Made in England" on the base and a T2 decorator's mark. I believe it's by Lingard  which would date it to pre-1972. The lid is a little crazed and there is a small original mark on the rim and a little staining inside as it has been used. Otherwise it's in very good condition.

Set of 5 Vintage Small Coloured Lustre Glass Beakers


Really nice set of 5 small coloured ribbed glass beakers with hand applied gold lining around the bases. There are two blues, two pinks/cranberry and a yellow, all with a splendid petrol lustre. They are, in fact, quite beautiful. I have no idea of the age but I do remember my Grandma having some similar ones, albeit larger, when I was a toddler and I'm increasingly on the wrong side of my half-century.

Vintage Large Gold Lustre "Vine" Bowl - Crown Devon - Fieldings 1443

Vintage Handpainted Reynard Dessert Bowl - Rare Crown Devon - Fieldings




Very similar in design to the outrageously popular "Stockholm", this is a cereal or dessert bowl in the much rarer "Reynard" pattern. This features a red fox stalking a pheasant through the snow around the inside of the bowl. Both images are handpainted and as such, may differ slightly from the picture. As in Stockholm, there is a red handpainted edging. It is a wonderful design. There are some light surface marks from stacking but otherwise condition is very good.

Small Studio Pottery Pin Tray - Japanese?


Beautiful square pin tray from featuring a leaf motif. It is beautifully made, very Japanese in look and feel with a tenmoku style glaze.  Indeed there is a small mark on the underside of one corner that looks to be a Japanese character but I can't make it out clearly. It is in excellent condition.

Hand Decorated Marmalade Pot




Very nice marmalade pot, hand painted with reddish brown and brown streaks around the pot and the slotted lid with "Marmalade" written diagonally across one side. Unusually, for marmalade, the lid has a bee shaped finial - something you'd associate more with honey, I guess, but who's complaining. There is a large "A" on the base but no other mark. It has elements of Babbacombe/Toni Raymond but could just as easily be foreign. In excellent condition.

Pair Vintage Salt & Pepper Pots with Gold Detail




A pair of salt and pepper pots with a plum and peach design and gold detailing around the top. No mark but they appear to be a few years old - the bung in each base is a small cork (the originals having fallen inside) and some of the gilding around the hole in the salt pot has gone but they are generally in very good condition.

Vintage Art Deco Tulip Side Plate - Morley Fox


SOLD

Squared side plate by Morley Fox in ivory with tulip design and handpainted green edging. The company operated until 1944, the backstamp for this, the stylised MF monogram in a vase, was used from 1906 onwards. It is in very good condition for its age with a few small original surface marks (possibly a second) and some mild colour loss on the green edging. There is a small surface chip in the edging, no deeper than the glaze, on one corner.
