Unusual Brown & Cream Glazed Shallow Cup

SOLD

Curious shallow cup or mug in a cream and brown speckled glaze with a spiral swirl to the inside centre. It is slightly squared with a handle and resembles, at first sight, a candle holder. But it's very well balanced and the handle is a comfortable size so could serve as a mug. Very unusual!

14cm (d) x 4cm

Vintage Brown Honeycomb Glaze Cup and Saucer - Kernewek

Lovely vintage cup and saucer in a brown honeycomb drip glaze. It is not marked with a name and I make no claim that this is either Fosters or Kernewek although this did come from a large box of similar items and one of them was marked Kernewek, Cornwall; conversely Kernewek or Fosters sometimes did not mark all their ware. It is in excellent condition apart from some very minor scratches.

Cup: Diameter incl handle: 10.5cm x 7.5cm

Saucer: Diameter: 14cm x 3cm

Vintage Miniature Pink Lustre Pot or Cup - Carlton Ware

Beautiful little squat cup or handled bowl in a pink lustre finish by Carlton Ware. It has the standard "script" backstamp that was for around 60 years until the late 1980s. However, this one is very fine, almost as if it's been written on in pen and I have yet to come across one of this style. There is also a "GC" scratched into the base. There is some crazing, more visible on the inside. I have a hunch it is pre WWII although I cannot for certain say why! A lovely little item though and in very good condition.

Vintage Handpainted Cup or Creamer - Enoch Boulton?

I am doubly puzzled by this. It's definitely vintage, possibly 50s or 60s or even earlier and it's hand painted, however we've been unable to decipher the signature although I'm pretty certain it's a B at the start but after I'm clueless. I think it's "Boulton". If so, is it Enoch Boulton? Did he do anything as subdued as these pretty blue and brown leaves with their raised dots? Also, I'm pretty certain it's a coffee cup but Zoe, my partner, thinks it's a jug. In excellent condition although as I'm sure you're aware, I cannot guarantee anything so I am always grateful for any help.

10cm x 9cm max diameter
