Vintage Italian Fish Shaped Bon Bon Dish - Bitossi?



SOLD

Vintage Fish shaped bon bon dish in black with white, blue and red wax-resist herringbone decoration. It is impressed "Italy" on the base; I have seen similar ones attributed to Bitossi but I cannot guarantee this at all so please don't take me at my word!  Two small flea bites on the tail but otherwise great looking. Great 50's vibe to this! 

Weight incl packaging: 750g.

Vintage Ceramic & Wood Cruet Set - Retro 1960s



Very retro looking green ceramic cruet set with wooden bases and lids. The ceramic is a basket weave effect and there are some initials in gold transfer on three of the items (O,V, P). They are unmarked but they are similar to certain items produced by the Portuguese Secla concern although I would not like to guarantee this. They are all in fine condition apart from the salt cellar, which is in desperate need of stripping and re-varnishing. One of the lids on the bottles also has a small chip. There are no bungs on either of the salt and pepper pots.

Vintage Compact circa 1950s - Stratton



Lovely powder compact dating from the 1950s with a white top with pink flowers and 2 pink outer circles.  The gold-coloured metal is in remarkably good condition and the entire compact looks pretty good with only signs of wear and usage.  The inner mirror is in tact and there are still traces of powder in the compact.  If this compact had a mesh net to cover the powder, then that is missing and the powder buff is also missing.  A great item for any powder compact collectors.
Diameter: 7.5cm

Vintage Shell Cruet Set - Carlton Ware - Kitsch, Retro



Cruet set comprising salt and pepper pots in the shape of what could be whelk shells. The mustard pot has a vague shell shape also and all three sit on a scallop shell. They are from the late era Carlton Ware, probably 1970s, (the backstamp is the post 1968 decal style) and are a pinky-brown colour. The mustard pot has a tiny chip on the finial and the salt pot a small chip in the glaze running from the hole, something that isn't uncommon with salt pots, and otherwise the set is in good condition despite having been used. The original rubber stoppers are still in situ.
 Overall: 16cm x 16cm x 10cm

Ting Footed Bowl LS 1012 - Royal Doulton Lambeth Stoneware



A Royal Doulton Lambeth Stoneware goblet or chalice shaped footed bowl in the Ting pattern, LS 1012 with embossed floral pattern and brown rim. Lovely retro look, design from 1974. In near faultless condition with only a little bit of colour loss on the brown rim. Decal on inside of pedestal has slipped and what with the slight loss of coloured on this hitherto unused (acquired in original manufacturers plastic sleeve) I assume this to be a slight second. Regardless, it is still a lovely looking piece and a fine replacement.
