Vintage Art Deco Sefton Pattern Basket Fruit Bowl - Arthur Wood

SOLD

Large fruit bowl in a basket shape with beautiful handpainted floral pattern by Arthur Wood. The bowl is the "Sefton" shape and dates from the mid 1930s.It is adorned with pink, purple and yellow flowers with silver edging and lining over the handle. Although it is finely crazed, the crazing hasn't become ingrained with dust and grime (although there are a few paint spots here and there, easily removed) and the decoration is still gorgeously vibrant. It would make a fantastic centrepiece.

Large Wooden Fruit Bowl and Wooden Fruit - from Liberia

SOLD

This originally came from Liberia and is a rather nice shovel shaped bowl with ten individual fruits and veg, all hand carved by local artisans. I'm not sure about the fruits - there is what appears to be an apple, a maize cob, a pineapple and other indistinct items but it is nevertheless charming and a great talking point. It is in excellent condition.

Vintage Art Deco Grey Lustre Mr Symcox Fruit Bowl - Beswick Ware - 288

SOLD

Superb two-handled art deco period fruit bowl by Beswick. The shape is No 288 and was designed by Mr Symcox in 1934. It's a plain, pewter coloured lustre, slightly shinier on the inside than out, which may be due to wear. It's in excellent condition. There are some blemishes to the glaze but these appear to be underglaze and there are very few marks otherwise.
