We look for anything you might think is fun, interesting, beautiful, new, old or odd. Vintage and almost new clothes, ceramics, treen, ephemera, books and costume jewellery. If it fits in a box, we'll sell it.
Small
earthenware cup with blue glaze exterior and white sprigged classical
scenes in the style of Wedgwood Blue Jasper. Dtestamp for 1950s. In
excellent condition.
Miniature mug or coffee can, handpainted in the typical blue and white Delft style with windmills and flowers. The mark on the base bears similarity to that of Delft Pottery, or De Delftse Pauw, but as with most modern Delft a mark is no guarantee of provenance. It is in very good condition.
Small
cylindrical trinket box with domed lid. Off white in colour with blue
design, marked with what appears to be "Fez" so presumed to be Moroccan.
It certainly has all the hallmarks! Excellent little item and in fine
condition.
Very sweet miniature porcelain rabbit in blue and
white polka dot design. There are no markings so age is unknown as well
as manufacturer. It's in excellent condition though.
Small cauldron shaped ceramic money box in blue and white and bearing the mottos, "A penny saved is a penny earned" (Curiously punctuated) and "Home Sweet Home". It has a wire hanger and wide slot with rubber bung. It is of fairly decent vintage, several old coins, including a silver thruppeny bit and a few old pennies, having been removed from it prior to me acquiring it. It's in very good condition although I had to removed quite a bit of rust from the wire hanger.
Blue and white ironstone dinner plate
by Ashworth in the Ancient Ruins design. It is impressed with the Crown
mark and you can just about make out the word "Ashworth" beneath it. It
is also impressed 6197. The orange script pattern number is B8702 which
I think dates it to around 1897. It has a gilded edge which is slightly
worn in a couple of places but still largely intact, I think because it
has been on display - there are a couple of small rust marks on the
footring from one of those awful sprung metal clips. It is also crazed
but not to the point of distraction. note - the truer colour is the
darker blue as displayed in the close up pictures.
