Mid
sized fluted pitcher shaped fluted jug by Arthur Wood. It's a treacle
glaze and has a garland of wheat around the neck. Unfortunately it has a
hairline crack across the base, and annoyingly something I've just
noticed while writing this description. It runs from just to the left of
the "E" in England to the last "R" in Arthur and about halfway up the
"E" side. Unfortunately it does leak but it would look good as a dried
flower vase.

Vintage White Milk Jug - Royal Doulton
A
Royal Doulton milk jug in cream/off white with leaf shaped handle
joints and four flutes. It has the "A" backstamp which should date it to

on the base. There is a small chip on the front of the footring,
annoying as otherwise it's more or less faultless with only the faintest

Antique/Vintage Flow Blue Abbey Tea/Hot Water Pot - George Jones & Sons
Flow
blue tea or hot water pot in the Abbey pattern by George Jones &
Sons. The backstamp dates this to between 1901 and 1921. It does have a
few cracks and a chip to the inside rim so I would not advise using it
unless with great care but it does feel quite sound and will look good
ornamentally or as a collection filler.

Vintage Plant Pot and Matching Saucer - Dragon Pottery?
SOLD
Matching plant pot and saucer set that is unmarked but is white earthenware and has a colourway and sgraffito pattern very reminiscent of those of the Dragon Pottery of Rhayader. Dragon, along with a few other potteries, also made ware marked for Dee Cee of the Midlands in the 1960s so it's entirely possible this could be one of theirs but I would be quite confident of the Dragon origin. The pot is a little stained and the saucer mildly crazed in the centre but it's still a fine looking piece
All measurements approx:
8cm high, 12.5cm wide pot diameter

Antique or Vintage Crooked Clear Glass Bottle
Unusual
vintage clear glass bottle. The neck is slightly crooked and the whole
thing slopes at an angle of around 5°. I'm not entirely certain this is
deliberate, it has the diagonal lines one sees on many moulded bottles
but on this they are a bit wobbly! However I am not an expert on
glassware and while I've not been able to spot anything similar I am
more than willing to be corrected. In very good condition with only
original marks.

Bell Shaped Studio Pottery Vase
Very
pretty bell shaped vase in purple shades and blue with impressed marks
in a random pattern. It has a mark on the base, incised in cursive
script that looks like it begins with a Q or a stylised R but it's
difficult to really work it out. Lovely item though and great condition
(apart from some wax residue, I think it may have been used as a
candleholder)

Large Studio Pottery Stoneware Jug
Rather
intriguing looking stoneware jug, the shape of which is quite
reminiscent of a bottle kiln. It has an unusual spout attached below the
top and a large comfortable handle. There does appear to be a mark at
the base of the handle but it is completely illegible unfortunately. If
anyone is familiar with the shape and knows the potter - contact me! Nice
looking piece in excellent condition.
