Vintage West German Tall Floor Vase - Scheurich 289 - 41

Very large 1960s -70s floor vase by, I think, Scheurich of West Germany. Slightly conical, it's 41cm tall and is embossed with rings of vaguely floral abstract patterns, each one in a different shade of grey/beige. Condition is excellent overall but it could probably do with a good clean.

Please note, I don't use couriers for items this large, heavy and fragile, preferring local collection. I will though deliver within a 20 mile or so radius of Crewe for £10, which is a very competitive price!

Vintage Stoneware Crock Pot or Casserole - Pearson's of Chesterfield

A 3 pint stoneware casserole or crock pot by Pearson's of Chesterfield. Beige, salt-glazed and well used! I have tried to get the food stains out and have largely succeeded. There is still some ingrained and I dare say with a bit off application it can be totally cleaned. The lid, I'm afraid, isn't the original one but it's a Pearson's lid and fits perfectly. I had thought this was fairly vintage but apparently Pearson's didn't start to stamp "Established 1810" until the 1970's but I would hazard a guess and say it's at least 30 years old. The company went under about 20 years ago. Overall condition appears to be very good.

Pair of Hand Carved Sitting Cats

A pair of small, faintly oriental looking sitting cats, hand carved from wood. They are mirror opposites so would be good at either end of a shelf or mantel. Or they'd be good anywhere just because they are actually rather nice. One has a few very small paint dots on but these will remove (I've already got most off) but otherwise they are fine.

Glut Book - How to Cope With Your Surplus Produce - Kathleen Thomas - 1961

Written by Kathleen Turner and compiled from recipes sent in presumably the readers of Farmers' Weekly, this is a Farm Woman's Library Book published by Longacre Press in 1961 and is specifically aimed at dealing with "too much of anything". Fascinating and very much of its time, the most exotic ingredients I can see are a teaspoon of paprika and the occasional clove of garlic. Lots of recipes for pigeons!

Ceramica Billy Bottle Oven - Wade

Caramel coloured "Billy Bottle Oven" by Wade. This one has the "Ceramica" mark on it and although I'm not absolutely certain I think this was a souvenir of the ill-fated Millennium Fund financed exhibition of that name that ran for a few years in Stoke on Trent until a couple of years ago (closed early because nobody went. Sad). In perfect condition.

Vintage Small Blue and White Vase - Dragon Pottery, Rhayader

SOLD

Small earthenware vase from the Dragon Pottery in Rhayader, Wales. Its blue and occasionally green rings are over an off white ground with sgraffito flowers marked into the top banding. It has been used - there's some light crazing and it looks like a leaky pen has been stored inside it at one time but otherwise it's actually in very good condition. I usually take a picture of the base but there isn't much to see apart from a small part of a very faint circular Dragon mark. Certainly one for the Dragon Colletors among you.

Lady Penelope Annual 1968 - Century 21 Publishing

Published in 1968 for 1969 by the late and very much lamented Gerry Anderson's Century 21 Publishing, this includes strips featuring lady Penelope and Parker, The Monkees and others. There are also plenty of articles on the popular beat combos of the day and stories about gels doing spiffing jobs such as air hostessing, ballet dancing and even racing drivering. Pretty good condition inside, small inscription and a couple of pen marks inside back cover but bindings sound. Covers are a little scuffed and corners bumped and top of spine is torn for about an inch at the top. Cover bindings starting to crack slightly. Old pencil pricing on inside cover (which is a little more than my start price but considerably less than some others listed)

Hand Carved Branch - Lizards

Very nice piece of burred branch that has been carved into a pair of lizards. Nice use of the natural contours and grain of the wood and quite a bit of detail in the animals. Previous owner said it had been in their family for quite a while and it does look to have a couple of water stains although these can be removed with care. Still a nice though and a lovely conversation piece.

Wood and Brass Swan

SOLD

Swan formed out of solid block of indeterminate wood with a brass neck and head. Quite a nice looking and very tactile ornament although it has seen better days. It could do with rubbing down and revarnishing. There is a crack but this appears to be natural, emanating from a knot and looks to have been there for a long while. The neck and head are a little marked and the lacquer is coming off in a few places but it would make a nice restoration project.
