Vintage German Jug



This is a vintage German jug/vase. I have no idea of the maker or date as the base just says "Germany 557". This could easily be from any era - some manufacturers' marks took no notice of partition but the design suggests 50s/60s. It's quite striking, with a run brown/damson glaze over white with a spot of bright orange and green on the handle.

15.5cm (h) x 9cm (h)

Art Deco Style Mustard Yellow Glaze Vase by Brixham Pottery, Devon



Lovely small mustard yellow art deco style vase with a very pretty swirly pattern in brown. There is one pock mark that happened during glazing and if you look closely the vase is crazed. There is a stamp on the base stating 'Brixham Pottery Devon' and 'Made in England'. The condition of the vase is perfect with no hairline cracks, flea bites or chips.

All measurements approximate: 14cm (h) x 8.5cm (d) (at it's widest)

Large Ornate Pitcher with Drip Glaze by Baroque England



Large ornate pitcher with a green glazed embossed floral design. The base is the original green, the rest has had a rather lovely light green to white drip glaze applied in a West German hot lava style. It's very striking. I haven't a clue as to the maker - it is marked "Baroque England" which could be the style rather than pottery and there's a monogram CL or LC, which I have seen before but have been unable to trace. It doesn't look too vintage but it could quite easily have been kept on display as it's in excellent condition.

Measurements are approximate:
23cm x 18cm across handle

Weight with packaging: approx 2000g.

Vintage Yellow Acanthus Leaf Bowl - Mould No 4665 by SylvaC



Small bowl - sugar bowl size - mould number 4665, with acanthus leaf and oval design in yellow/brown glaze with a brown ring inside the rim. The impressed base suggests 40s - 50s. It's quite crazed as one would expect from a vintage SylvaC and apart from a few small offcuts or shavings that appear to have got stuck to the edge and glazed (possibly making it a sceond), it's in fine condition.

Measurements are approximate:
12.5cm x 5cm

Weight with packaging: approx 750g.

Long Hand Made Studio Pottery Dish - New Forest Pottery




SOLD

Very nice handmade rustic oval dish in a green glaze impressed with what were probably real leaves, twigs and berries and then handpainted in subtle browns and greens, the veins on the leaves looking like very clever use of the crackle glaze. The underside looks to have been textured with burlap or something similar. It's in superb condition.

Small Decorative Earthenware Dish with Bird Design



Very nice rustic small earthenware dish in a rough blue glaze with a design of raised brown circles and white dots around the edge and a lovely wading bird in yellow in the centre. It was designed to hang but the surface of the base where the hole was driven through has snapped through (was made too thin). It's not severe and doesn't affect the look of the piece at all, it just means it wobbles slightly when you put it down flat. Still a strikingly lovely little dish.

12.5cm diameter x 2cm.

Weight with packaging: 400g.

Vintage Taunton Vale Sugar/Flour Sifter



This is a vintage Taunton Vale sugar or flour sifter. White glazed with rope and herbs transfer decoration. In very good condition although like most vintage Taunton Vale it's suffered some crazing. It has a plastic stopper in the base that I can't easily remove (I haven't tried to force it) so I can't tell what the internal condition is. If soaked in warm water for a while this may well remove easier. This may well suggest though that it's rarely, if ever, been used.

Measurements: 13cm H x 12cm max dia incl handle.

Weight with packaging: approx 750g UK Postage Only.

Pair of China Ginger Jars by James Sadler



A pair of pretty ginger jars by James Sadler in a blue blossom pattern. They are a later model, as evidenced by the mark. One has a tiny chip on the edge of the lid, visible in the picture (right) but otherwise they are in excellent condition.

All measurements approx:
12.5cm (h) x 11 cm diameter

Small Black Earthenware Handled Vase with Raffia - Austrian Made



A squat black earthenware vase with a single handle and wide rim that makes it look like a jug without a spout. It has been neatly wrapped with white raffia. On the base it has A9 in large moulded figures with "Made in Austria" in splodgy yellow ink. Not sure how old this is as it's in splendid condition - I have seen similar pieces marked as 50s but the raffia looks to be in too good condition and the base isn't marked at all - unless it's never been moved!

Measurements: 9cm (H) x 12cm diameter incl handle.
Weight with packaging: approx 500.

Vintage German Stoneware Wine Jug by Wick-Werke



CURRENTLY AT AUCTION.

Beautiful grey stoneware jug by Wick-Werke featuring a relief of two young children carrying a large bunch of grapes with detailing picked out in cobalt blue. The motto across it reads "Trinkt wie eure Väter aus Stein den Wein" which translates roughly as "Drink as your fathers, wine from the stone" although we don't have a suitable English word meaning stone(ware) to rhyme with wine. Stein is actually short for stoneware and does not, as is erroneously thought, mean a drinking vessel . The numerous marks on the base suggest it is an early-ish example - WW were making these for much of their existence, from 1922 until they went bankrupt in 1984, the later models being lighter in colour with more rounded "W" markings on the base and with the relief in to be honest, poor quality. The detailing on the faces of the children on this one is exceptional, far better than later models I've seen. I would hazard a guess at it being pre-war, maybe even late Weimar - the "29" may be a clue. If it were immediate post war it would probably have had occupation markings and the later ones almost certainly marked West Germany. It is in exceptional condition.

13cm (h) x 11cm diameter across handle.
