Vintage Brown Rabbit Ornament - Poole Pottery

SOLD

Small brown rabbit in the crouching position by Poole Pottery (note, this is not the one scratching its ear). In very good condition generally although there is some crazing. Also the vent hole on the base has suffered some damage  and may well crack again. It doesn't look as though the damage will extend beyond the base and it's not visible in normal use. It also has some ingrained grime which will be removed prior to sale.

11cm x 5.5cm

Small Hand Carved Wooden Dolphin Ornament

Small ornamental hand carved wooden dolphin. It's in a lightweight light coloured wood and while it does have a few small marks and what look to be splash marks it's in overall very good condition. The contrast in the pictures has been tweaked a bit to highlight the marks which are not as pronounced in normal light.

11cm x 5cm

Pair of Mounted Hand Carved Wooden Birds

Unusual ornament, a pair of handacrved wooden birds mounted on a piece of worn driftwood or bogwood.They are of an indeterminate species carved from unidentified wood, although it's very light. The birds are mounted on a small piece of dowl, itself mounted in the base. They can be positioned and removed (I will remove them and wrap them separately for dispatch). There is what appears to be a small water stain on one tail fan but otherwise they are in very good condition.

Handcarved Wooden Tortoise Within a Tortoise Ornament

SOLD

Small hand carved wooden tortoise or turtle. The shell has been carved into a kind of lattice and if you look closely there's a pair of eyes inside and a very rough looking baby tortoise! I'm not entirely convinced but it would certainly fit with similar ornaments of this style. Leaf design on the underside.

Hand Carved Wooden Beaver

SOLD

Unusual but beautifully rendered beaver, hand carved from red cedar. Marvellous use of grain to emphasise the form and additionally the grain has not been smoothed so it's actually very tactile, rough when rubbed one way, smooth the other. Very nice detailed paws and other features.  There is a maker's name but it's partly obscured by an ancient piece of sticky tape. It's possibly "Carv... Co". There is also a scratched in "Nikk" who I take to be the artist. It's in excellent condition.

Heavy Carved Wooden Duck

Beautiful hand crafted wooden duck. I am quite hopeless at identifying wood but this is quite heavy with a lovely colourful grain. It has a rounded underside so does not sit still, rather it is wont to spin and rock if touched as it balances on one point only. Really nice unusual piece in splendid condition.

Small hand Carved Ebony Crocodile

SOLD

Small Carved Wooden Owl Ornament

SOLD

Sleeping owl carved from block of very hard dark wood. Nice looking little object although there is a small crack across the tail that looks as though it's original. Additionally there is a small chunk of tail missing but it is difficult to see whether this was an original fault or happened at a later date. It doesn't affect the look or the way the owl stands.

6cm (h) x 7cm x 5cm

Pair of China Ducks

SOLD

Rather sweet pair of cavorting ducklings. They are almost certainly earthenware although probably hand-painted but are nevertheless a nice little ornament and are in excellent condition with no chips or cracks.

Each duck approx: 10cm x 10cm

Pair of Hand Carved Sitting Cats

A pair of small, faintly oriental looking sitting cats, hand carved from wood. They are mirror opposites so would be good at either end of a shelf or mantel. Or they'd be good anywhere just because they are actually rather nice. One has a few very small paint dots on but these will remove (I've already got most off) but otherwise they are fine.

15cm x 9cm x 4.5cm
