Pair of Vintage Green Stoneware Vases



This is a pair of green aerographed stoneware vases, flared at both ends. While they are ostensibly identical, one is slightly shorter with a slightly smaller base suggesting they are individually thrown rather than moulded. There is a small unglazed spot on the rim of the smaller one, too. The only marking is an impressed W on the base of each. The larger of the two has a few paint spatterings on it that can be removed. The coating, colour, style and moreover, feel, suggest they are of a good vintage, possibly 1920s although I am being deliberately vague and non-committal. A nice pair.

Vintage Old Curiosity Shop Bon Bon Dish - Adams



SOLD

Small two-handled bon bon dish by Adams. It's from the Dickens series of around the 1920s and features a scene from "The Old Curiosity Shop" with Dick Swiveller and the Marchioness and on the base, the quote, "Them, Marchioness," said Mr. Swiveller, "fire away!"  Generally in very good condition although crazed. There is a dark patch on the edge of the right handle that looks like a stain but there is no other damage apart from the crazing. Still a nice looking piece and, I would imagine, fairly rare - this is the only example I have found online.

Vintage Haberdashery Hooks and Loops - Trumpet Brand - Original Sealed Box



SOLD

A vintage box of 48 pairs of size 2 extra japanned hooks and loops. They are the "centre spring" design by Trumpet Brand and they are in the original box which is still sealed with the loop of thread that runs around the box and underneath the label. The design of the box and graphics suggest around the 1920s. If that's the case the box is in excellent condition for its age.
