Antique Small Black Milk Glass Creamer Jug - Davidson

Small black (or very deep blackcurrant when the light shines through) milk glass cream jug that I have seen dated variously as Victorian on the 20th Century Glass website and also as Art Deco Davidson on others. I am no expert, I can only give the result of my research! Some surface wear and a small chip to the footring but otherwise still a great looking piece.

Vintage Black, White & Gold "Brama" 6 Piece Coffee Set - Midwinter

A real find! Wonderful 6-piece coffee set in black and white with gold detailing and decoration. They are marked "Brama" on their bases and I believe this pattern was a 1950s one by Midwinter. Not only is the set complete with 6 cups and saucers, it also comes with the original gold coloured leaf shaped spoons and the wire storage frame. I've seen the cups and saucers in pairs or threes and I've also seen a whole 15 piece set but never the metal work! The cups and saucers are in pretty much perfect condition, with only a little colour fade here and there. The spoons are all good, too although the stand and frame have a few bits of discolouration and corrosion but nothing that can't be tidied up.
 

Cups: 5.5cm x 9cm
Saucers: 12cm

Vintage Black Fleur de Lys Vase -Constance Fry Design? The Pottery, Fulham

SOLD

Small black vase in the shape of a fleur de lys with a beak shaped mouth. It is by the Fulham Pottery (or The Pottery, Fulham to give it its proper name). The design has been attributed by others to Constance Spry, the pioneer floral artist, who designed a range of vases for Fulham in the 1930s. Although those vases were mainly white, I have seen this model in white before and as the mark impressed into the base is "CS3" it wouldn't be beyond reason to suspect otherwise.  It is in near perfect condition.

Vintage Large Black Ravenstone Vase - Wedgwood

SOLD

Large trumpet and bulb shaped vase in gloss Ravenstone finish with fluted bulb and base. San serif impression, pre-1974 backstamp  " stamp and what could be a year mark for 1969 (or conversely an 8). There are several small faults: there is a small faint chip just visible on the inside of the rim that has been fairly well repaired and it looks as though someone has re-coloured around the rim to hide some blemishes. These two are more visible in very brioght sunlight but in normal light and in use will be barely noticeable. There is also a firing mark on the bulbous base in the form of a 2cm long line, this can be turned away. But it is still an impressive vase and these rarely come up for sale in this size

Vintage John Cuffley Designed Libra "Zodiac" Mug - Portmeirion

Vintage black mug from the John Cuffley designed Zodiac range. This one is "Libra", with the scales on one side and a long character description on the other, both in gold. In excellent condition - it looks unused, to be fair. There's a small flake missing on the foot ring but colour ingress over part of it suggests this was prior to glazing and not recent damage.

Retro Small Handpainted German Vase

Small black and gold vase, flared top and bottom and handpainted with a red, white and gold flower on one side and a small leaf motif on the other. It is coloured burgundy on the inside and the rim and base are both coloured gold. It is marked 1008 and 4 on the base as well as "Foreign" and "Handgemalt A". There is another mark around the base, opposite "Foreign" but it is indistinct. The style of the numbering suggests Germany but it could easily be Austria or Switzerland. I would imagine age to be around 50 years. There is some loss of gilding around the rim but otherwise it's in excellent condition. Please note the small white paint spatters have now been removed!
