Vintage Compact circa 1950s - Stratton



Lovely powder compact dating from the 1950s with a white top with pink flowers and 2 pink outer circles.  The gold-coloured metal is in remarkably good condition and the entire compact looks pretty good with only signs of wear and usage.  The inner mirror is in tact and there are still traces of powder in the compact.  If this compact had a mesh net to cover the powder, then that is missing and the powder buff is also missing.  A great item for any powder compact collectors.
Diameter: 7.5cm

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 Small Orange & White Polka Dot Ware Jug - Sandygate Pottery, Devon



SOLD

Small jug by the Sandygate Pottery of Kingsteignton, Devon. The pottery was known for its polka dot ware and this is in orange with white dots and white interior. It is of white clay so is a little later than the early red clay wares from the early 1950s. The pottery closed in the 1990s. There is some crazing to the white interior surface but otherwise it's in very good condition.
All measurements approximate: 11.5cm x 7cm

Vintage Large Wood Effect Jug - Dee Cee




Dee Cee imported or commissioned then rebadged items from many pottery manufacturers during the 1950s and 60s. This one I think is by Moira/Hillstonia or possibly Hartleys. It's a beautiful large stoneware jug in wood effect with barrel straps around it. It's in perfect condition, too.

Vintage Stoneware Oil Pourer - Buchan Riviera


Beautiful light blue oil pourer from the "Riviera" range by Buchan Stoneware. There were three Riviera patterns, this is the abstract one. The stamp on the base is the impressed thistle and M7 - 185 and a 256. The painter's mark is a star. It comes complete with stopper although I think there may well be a missing cork as the stopper has a threaded shaft as though to take a seal of some kind. Riviera dates from post 1956, the condition of the base suggests it could well be of that vintage. Apart from the missing seal the bottle is in fine condition and there doesn't appear to be any stale taint from the inside.
