Small Blue and White Ceramic Cauldron Money Box

SOLD

Small cauldron shaped ceramic money box in blue and white and bearing the mottos, "A penny saved is a penny earned" (Curiously punctuated) and "Home Sweet Home". It has a wire hanger and wide slot with rubber bung. It is of fairly decent vintage, several old coins, including a silver thruppeny bit and a few old pennies, having been removed from it prior to me acquiring it. It's in very good condition although I had to removed quite a bit of rust from the wire hanger.

Vintage Green Sugar Bowl - Poole

I'm a little confused by this Poole open sugar bowl. I've not really been able to pin down the  colourway; it's Twintone style but the colours don't quite match anything in the Twintone range as far as I can see, being a sage green and plain white (the colour is quite close to the general picture here, not the close up). 1967-72 mark. It's in excellent condition.

Large Drip Glaze Jug - Mount Pleasant Pottery, Staffs

Pleasant large water jug in a brown drip glaze over a white ground. It has a turned over spout, I think a feature of this pottery - I seem to remember offering something similar recently. To be fair, I can find very little about the pottery - Mount Pleasant is an area of Fenton and had many works so a search is a bit of a jumble. It's still got the original foil label so is of relatively recent vintage despite being crazed on the inside.

Vintage Hand Painted Sunbuff Teacup - Gray's Pottery

Teacup in the classic "Sunbuff" pattern by Gray's Pottery. Handpainted with green and beige lines and a floral transfer on the inside. Dates to between 1935 & 45 although favourite would be pre-war owing to restrictions on the use of colour during wartime. Crazed but clean. Very delicate and always feel on the point of falling apart but seems robust enough!

Neat little green-brown earthenware jug by the "Taurus Studio" of Weston Park.

Vintage Green Preserve Pot Poole Pottery

 

Simple green (not sure of the colour - tourquoise?) preserve pot from Poole Pottery. The backstamp dates it to between 1967 and 1972 but I'm not sure of the design. I suspect it may have had a lid at one time and that would have helped nail it down. It's in excellent condition.

Vintage German Single Stem Red & Gold Bud Vase - Retro

 

SOLD

Slender bud vase in gold edged dark red that graduates to almost black around the lip and foot. The interior is white.The foot and edge are decorated with gold, the line around the edge being slightly worn through use. No makers mark although it is  impressed "Germany" and "52/17" on the base,17 being the height in cm. I think it's more 1960s or 70s (Some German potters did not mark "W" or "West" during the partition). Apart from the wear to the gilding it's in excellent condition.

Antique Blue & White Ancient Ruins Dinner Plate - Ashworth

SOLD

Blue and white ironstone dinner plate by Ashworth in the Ancient Ruins design. It is impressed with the Crown mark and you can just about make out the word "Ashworth" beneath it. It is also impressed 6197. The orange script pattern number is B8702 which I think dates it to around 1897. It has a gilded edge which is slightly worn in a couple of places but still largely intact, I think because it has been on display - there are a couple of small rust marks on the footring from one of those awful sprung metal clips. It is also crazed but not to the point of distraction. note - the truer colour is the darker blue as displayed in the close up pictures.

Diameter: 23.5cm

Vintage Handpainted Greenwheat Dinner Plate - Albert Colledge - Denby

Large dinner plate in the iconic hand painted "Greenwheat" pattern. This design on some china replacements sites has been wrongly attributed to Glyn Colledge whereas it was the work of his father, Albert, in the mid 1950s. Indeed, the plate bears the signature of Albert Colledge. Greenwheat was produced from 1956 until 1977 so this item is at least 37 years old. It is in excellent condition with only the faintest of marks.

Marvellous set of 5 beakers in blue and aqua marine featuring a design of a dragon overflying some hills and the sea. One hill has a house atop it, another a flag pole and there are fish swimming in the sea. The  image is impressed with a variety of shapes but is pretty much identical on each beaker.

Small Wood Effect Bowl or Planter - Vitry Ware

SOLD

Small Vitry Ware planter or bowl (dog's bowl?) in wood effect finish, in much the same fashion as that used by Moira for the Hillstonia range. I am unsure of the date - many have put these as 1930s but the backstamp is slightly different so I am guessing this one is later. Apart from the water stain on the inside it's in fine condition.

In all other respects the plate looks fine.
