Vintage 1930s Fish Shaped Sauce Boat - Shorter & Sons

SOLD

Brilliant fishware sauce boat from Shorter & Son and if the backstamp is correct, from between 1933 & 1940. Handpainted in aquamarine tinged with purple and yellow, with reddish lips and black and yellow eyes. It's in excellent condition, with no crazing, although it has to be said the eyes haven't been done too well, especially the right one! Unfortunately there's no matching saucer. Fantastic item though and would make a great addition to you fishware collection or could stand alone as a posy vase.

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.
