Brass Cat Poker Rest - Peerage

Brass cat poker rest by Peerage. It lacks the original screws holding the rest on, which have been temporarily replaced with small bolts until suitable brass matches can be found.

Vintage Large Shallow Stoneware Planter

SOLD

Large shallow stoneware bowl or more likely, planter. I have no idea of the age, it may be quite vintage although it has a vague similarity to some of the Hartley's of Castleford stoneware of the 50s and 60s. It has what appears to be the residue from some kind of decoration - perhaps it was painted at one time, either sold as such or at a later date. It's otherwise in very good condition and still very useful.

Vintage 1950s Jasper Style Relief & Gold Lustre Jug - Gibsons

Large gold lustre jug with blue & white jasper style relief band. Dates from the 50s and has some age related wear, mainly partial loss of gilding to the bottom 4cm or so and the handle, crazing to the inside and on the blue band and also a short, faint hairline crack running for about 3cm into the band. It is still a nice looking decorative object and could easily serve as a vase.

Vintage Shell Cruet Set - Carlton Ware - Kitsch, Retro

Cruet set comprising salt and pepper pots in the shape of what could be whelk shells. The mustard pot has a vague shell shape also and all three sit on a scallop shell.

The mustard pot has a tiny chip on the finial and the salt pot a small chip in the glaze running from the hole, something that isn't uncommon with salt pots, and otherwise the set is in good condition despite having been used.

Cobalt Blue Coffee Cup and Saucer - Martell Cognac - Apilco?

SOLD

Heavy porcelain coffee cup and saucer in deep and vivid cobalt blue with gold edging and bright white on the inside. Both cup and saucer are marked with the Martell Cognac name and logo on their undersides. There's no maker's name but they are very reminiscent of a range by Apilco of France and I would be happy to bet that they are. They are in excellent condition although there are a few small marks to the surfaces of the saucer but the deep colour hides these well.

There is some wear to the gilding around the edges, some light crazing and some discolouration. there is also what is either a small chip or a burst glaze bubble towards one of the long edges, next to a red mark.

Vintage Novelty Face Celery Storage Jar - Sadler

SOLD

Large green novelty celery jar with a smiley celery face by Sadler. It is pretty much faultless apart from a little crazing and what looks to be an original crack on the rim above the "C", original in that it appears glazed. The inside is cracked in the same area but again, this appears to be a surface and doesn't extend to the edges. Nice looking novelty jar for the dinner table.

Hand Carved Wooden Elephant

SOLD

Small wooden elephant ornament, hand carved from a black wood that may or may not be ebony. Indeed, it may even be stained, I haven't dug into it to find out although there is a grain crack across its left flank that looks to be uniformly coloured. Sorry to flap, I'm no good on woods, let alone exotic ones so can only describe as best I can. Unusually it still has its fake ivory tusks so a rare complete ornament! In excellent condition.

SOLD

Vintage 1950s/1960s Campagnolo Band On Down Tube Shifters

This pair of down tube shifters was purchased by my father several years ago while converting his taylor made 1950s Les Ephgrave built cycle to a "double clanger" but never used. Dad sadly passed away recently and I came across them in his shed. They have the less common domed locking nut on each side, engraved with "Brev Inter Campagnolo". The band is a little off-centre but I think this will probably right itself when tightened. Everything else seems to be in good order. Whether the cables are original, I don't know.

SOLD

Lovely small posy ring style candle holder in cream glazed earthenware with brown edging. It's by Alice Palser, who now concentrates more on figurative ornamental sculpture rather than pottery.

Vintage Studio Pottery Planter - Alunglam?

Hand thrown studio pottery stoneware planter. Circular design around the outside on an ochre background. It is inscribed on the base with what appears to be "Alunglam Pottery 1983". I've tried variations on this but still can't come up with anything. I think it may possibly be Welsh (Glamorgan?) but I would be grateful for any information. It's in excellent condition.

Retro Iridescent Orange Sugar Bowl - PALT Czechoslovakia

Retro iridescent orange sugar bowl from PALT, then of Czechoslovakia (or Czecho-Slovakia as stated by the backstamp). It is impressed 372 on the base. The colour, white interior and black rim give it an almost enameled look. Very small flea bite on the rim otherwise very good.

Vintage Handpainted Blue Ashtray - Dragon Pottery Rhayader

Crimped edged ashtray by the Dragon Pottery of Rhyadar. At least I think it's an ashtray - it could be used for anything.  It's in the less common handpainted blue pattern and while it has the expected crazing and a couple of very tiny stains it's in very good condition.

Vintage Yellow "Salad Ware" Plate 1617/6 - Carlton Ware

Large salad ware dish, pattern 1617/6 in plain yellow. It is unmarked on the back apart from an impressed 1617/6, which is a Carlton pattern (and I've had one before!). There are a couple of small and well disguised chips on the square end and some of the edges are a little worn (the darker marks) but some careful cleaning may be able to remove some of these if they are stains. Additional, the colour in real life is rather brighter and a bit more yellow than in the pictures.

Large Wooden Fruit Bowl

SOLD

Large and solid wooden fruit bowl. Stained tan with a lovely grain. There are a few scratch marksand a couple of very small dents, mainly to the inside, and some red ink stains on the surface of the bowl. If you're up to it, a few hours work with some wire wool and a bottle of varnish will have this restored very nicely.

Set of 6 Vintage Welsh Themed Whiskey Glasses - MC Reims - Jenny Jones

Boxed set of 6 small whiskey shot glasses, dating I suspect from the 1960s, each with an identical decal of a Welsh "Jenny Jones" at a spinning wheel with a mountain backdrop. They are in their original box, the card mount of which bears the legend "Six Hand Decorated Welsh Whiskey Glasses". I think hand decorated is a bit of a stretch as a description although they do have gold rims and the decals were probably applied by hand! Apart from a little wear to the rims they are in excellent condition and the box and mounts, apart from being a little dusty, show no wear. 

Box Size: 18.5cm x 16.5cm x 5.5cm
Glass size: 5.7cm x 4.7cm

Vintage Art Deco Jug - H & K, Tunstall Hollinshead & Kirkham

Hand painted jug by H & K (Hollinshead & Kirkham) of Tunstall. It is from their Art Deco era output but isn't one of the highly collectable "Delicious Dozen", although it is one of the shapes that were used, with the same style handle, pinch spout and ridge. It is quite crazed but still clean and is otherwise excellent condition.

Vintage Small Terracotta Posy Vase - Artisan

SOLD

Small posy vase in an unglazed terracotta. It is well thrown but the impressed triangle, lines and dots pattern is a little haphazard. Despite this it has quite a rustic charm. It has a definite African feel but that may just be coincidental. It has a few little dents and scratches from throwing but no chips or cracks. Some staining but again, this may be original.  7cm x 8.5cm

Large Handpainted Water Jug - Shorter

SOLD


Very large and visually striking handpainted water jug. The painting over the embossed floral design is quite crude and it is marked on the base "Hand painted by Shorter England". Whether this is Shorter & Son, I don't know as the backstamp doesn't really match anything of theirs I can find. If it is, it is at least 50 years old and in that case it's in extremely clean condition and with only a minimum of crazing. Regardless, it is a very distinctive display piece.

Vintage Green Glazed Swan Planter - Blue Mountain Pottery, Canada - Collectable

SOLD

Highly collectable swan shaped planter by Blue Mountain. It's in the green reflowing glaze with the base being slightly brown coloured, this denoting I believe an earlier model, although I cannot confirm this and have no idea of when the model was first produced. I think it's possibly 1960s/70s. It has the three pine mark and also the round blue and silver three pine sticker on the base. It's in fine condition

Kitchen Storage Jar - Currants - Toni Raymond Pottery

Large kitchen storage jar, helpfully disposing of any dilemma you may have about what to store by being clearly labelled "Currants". The wooden lid fits well although the varnish is flaking off so will need a bit of restoration. The glaze has crazed somewhat but in all other respects the jar is in excellent condition. Indeed, I doubt it has ever been used.

Ting Footed Bowl LS 1012 - Royal Doulton Lambeth Stoneware

A Royal Doulton Lambeth Stoneware goblet or chalice shaped footed bowl in the Ting pattern, LS 1012 with embossed floral pattern and brown rim. Lovely retro look, design from 1974. In near faultless condition with only a little bit of colour loss on the brown rim. Decal on inside of pedestal has slipped and what with the slight loss of coloured on this hitherto unused (acquired in original manufacturers plastic sleeve) I assume this to be a slight second. Regardless, it is still a lovely looking piece and a fine replacement.
