Vintage Large Rough Textured Stoneware Bowl/Planter - Hartrox

This is a large round stoneware bowl or planter, ideal for hyacinths, from the Hartrox range by Hartley's of Castleford. It's the rough textured range and as such can look a little grubby as all Hartrox was made before 1960. However, they do clean up with a bit of work (you should have seen this when I got it!) and are a lot tougher than they look so a stiff brush and some detergent will work wonders. It's otherwise in excellent condition with no chips or cracks that I can see.

Large Vintage Unglazed Rough Finish Stoneware Bowl - Hartrox Stoneware

Large rough finished bowl or planter by Hartleys of Castleford. These were usually marketed under the Hartrox name or produced for Desmond Cooper's "Dee Cee" brand between the early 1950s and 1960. This one is sadly unmarked. It's in very good condition though and really just needs a good clean. I have done quite a bit of work on it, it looked as though it had been in a shed for many many years and there are now just a few white paint spatters and some ingrained grime left that should, with some effort or patience, come off. I did manage to get quite a bit of it off so it's do-able.

Vintage Rough Finish Stoneware Jug - Hartrox

Do you collect Hartrox Stoneware? It was produced by Hartleys of Castleford, in the West Riding between about 1952 and 1960. The Hartrox range was very popular and is still sought after by collectors. We've had a few of the glazed items before but this mid-sized milk jug is of the rarer rough "combed" unglazed range - large, very rough and let's be honest, a challenge to clean! Smooth and glazed inside, obviously. This does have a couple of marks, mainly on the handle, but with care these could be cleaned off. Otherwise it's in great condition.

15cm high and 15cm diameter (including the handle).

Weight: 1200g including packaging. Will post abroad but it will be expensive.
