Vintage Miniature Welsh Lustre Jug - Southcliffe - Creigiau



SOLD

Lovely small cream jug in typical Welsh gold lustre finish with blue interior. It's marked (faintly) Sutherland Creigiau which could date it to around 1947 as the name changed to Creigiau Pottery a year or so later. If this is indeed the case this is a lovely example of a very early piece from one of the early Welsh studios.

Miniature Brass Coal Scuttle Planter



Small but heavy miniature coal scuttle with hinged handle. It's made with a very thick grade plate meaning it's quite robust. The loop looks to have been soldered on as an afterthought although it could just be worn. This belonged to a friend who used it as a small planter for many years so there are some blemishes and stains and a little verdigris but some time on a buffer will get it shining again. 

12cm (handle raised x 11cm x 11cm

Vintage Miniature New Devon Pottery Blueware Jug - Hexham Abbey



Miniature New Devon Pottery Blueware souvenir jug, inscribed with "Hexham Abbey Founded 674". In generally excellent condition. The dark marks in the photo have been removed, the white patches on the handle appear to be pieces of missing blue blaze although they don't really seem to be chips. There is a glazed over chip on the inside of the rim - this kind of fault was quite common with these mass-produced items.
