Vintage Old Curiosity Shop Bon Bon Dish - Adams

SOLD

Small two-handled bon bon dish by Adams. It's from the Dickens series of around the 1920s and features a scene from "The Old Curiosity Shop" with Dick Swiveller and the Marchioness and on the base, the quote, "Them, Marchioness," said Mr. Swiveller, "fire away!"  Generally in very good condition although crazed. There is a dark patch on the edge of the right handle that looks like a stain but there is no other damage apart from the crazing. Still a nice looking piece and, I would imagine, fairly rare - this is the only example I have found online.

Vintage Ceramic Sauce Pan/Frying Pan - Shorter and Son - Jackpot - RARE

This was discovered during the renovation of a house, hidden under floorboards. Nobody quite knows how long it was there so dating it has been difficult. I have yet to find an online reference for the Jackpot range either. It's marked "Oven to Tableware" and also "Detergent Proof". t's decorated with two red-rinded cheeses - Edam? - which maybe suggests something to do with cheesy recipes. Maybe someone could put me right. It's in fine condition with only a touch of crazing and a few little dark marks on one side. That it's so clean and virtually unused makes dating it even more complicated. Smashing looking piece though.
