Antique Ironstone Milk Jug - Anthony Shaw, Burslem

Antique milk jug with ornate handle by Anthony Shaw of Burslem in a rather sturdy and undecorated white ironstone, "Stone China". The backstamp dates it to approximately between 1860 and 1882. At one time it would have had a hinged pewter lid but this has broken off leaving only the two lugs still in situ either side of the handle. Apart from a little crazing it's in excellent condition for its age. When I acquired it it was covered in a horrible orange paint and I have done my best to remove it all but there may be the odd rogue spot in the recesses.

Vintage Hand Coloured Bowl Wilkinson - Royal Staffordshire

Lovely small hand coloured ironstone bowl by A.J. Wilkinson/Royal Staffordshire. It's octagonal, with a short stem and features a pair of Birds of Paradise or similar and a large blue bloom. I am assuming it to be hand coloured as examining it closely it does look to be so but as with everything, I make no guarantees. The mark, I think, dates it between 1910 and 1930 but I refer you to my previous remark. It's in wonderful condition.
