Small Cobalt Blue & Gold Soviet Era Vase - Lomonosov


Nice little bone china posy vase by Lomonosov from the Soviet era USSR. It's cobalt blue with gold trim and gold motif that looks like an inverted pawnbroker's sign. Marked with the Lomonosov logo and "USSR" on the base. Two small flea bites on the base, visible in the pictures.

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

Greek Art Pottery Decorative Hanging Plate - Neofitou



Lovely decorative plate, drilled in the footring for hanging. It features some blue green and gold flowers with 24ct gold elements and is stamped by Neofitou with an additional impression for Kerameikos, Greece. There is a tiny bit of crazing and the hole is a bit chipped as someone had used a wire rather than string loop but otherwise it's a striking and well opresented plate.

Handpainted Bone China Blue & Gold Lustre Bowl - Lyme Studio



Lyme Studio are a decorating studio specialising in commemorative and gift ware and are finished to a high standard. All items are unique but they tend to use several main colourways with 22 carat gold detailing. This is a two handled bone china bowl, with a very satisfying "ting", finished in what I believe is their Lapis Lazuli colourway and gilded rim, handles and footring. It's signed by the artist, Vivienne J. Evison on the base. A lovely looking item in excellent condition.

Vintage German Single Stem Red & Gold Bud Vase - Retro


SOLD

Slender bud vase in gold edged dark red that graduates to almost black around the lip and foot. The interior is white.The foot and edge are decorated with gold, the line around the edge being slightly worn through use. No makers mark although it is  impressed "Germany" and "52/17" on the base,17 being the height in cm. I think it's more 1960s or 70s (Some German potters did not mark "W" or "West" during the partition). Apart from the wear to the gilding it's in excellent condition.

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!
