Vintage Small Dish - Leighton Pottery

Small rectangular dish, possibly the base to a cheese dish, by Leighton Pottery of Burslem. It has a border of light blue dots, lines and pink roses. There is some wear to the gilding around the edges, some light crazing and some discolouration. there is also what is either a small chip or a burst glaze bubble towards one of the long edges, next to a red mark. These are quite old and may well be original. The back bears the stamp used between 1946 & 1954.

Diameter:14cm x 17.5cm

Vintage Purple and Orange Bowl - Leighton Pottery

Medium sized fruit bowl by the short-lived Leighton Pottery of Burslem (although the forerunners, Bourne & Leigh had been going for 60 years previously). It's of a burgundy repeated sponge pattern on white ground and has the mark on the base that was used between 1946 & 1954, the end of business.  It is in reasonably good condition. It is crazed all over but not too noticeably and there is a small graze to the rim that looks as though it's been there for decades. It looks as though at one stage it had an all-over orange tinge. The outside is still original; the inside has gone from around halfway down. There are still traces that make me suspect it's the action of the fruit or whatever contents it haeld that has degraded the colour over the years. Still a nice pot though.

Diameter: 18cm x 7.5cm
