Unusual Brown & Cream Glazed Shallow Cup



SOLD

Curious shallow cup or mug in a cream and brown speckled glaze with a spiral swirl to the inside centre. It is slightly squared with a handle and resembles, at first sight, a candle holder. But it's very well balanced and the handle is a comfortable size so could serve as a mug. Very unusual!

14cm (d) x 4cm

Unusual Multi Coloured Ornamental "Thing"



SOLD

Not quite sure what this is but it caught my eye. It's shaped like a stinkhorn type mushroom, with an unglazed stem and a head that could have been dipped in different coloured glazes. Nice looking and intriguing object. It will stand but not safely . In very good condition.

10cm long

Small Studio Pottery Stoneware Ashtray




Unusual, small shallow ashtray, square with either a tubelined or stamped vaguely Celtic design at the centre. It's finished in a brown speckled glaze and apart from a slight deformation to one side prior to firing it's in excellent condition.

Double Skin Studio Pottery Stoneware Pot



Unusual lidded stoneware pot. Although small, it's very heavy which can be explained by the fact that the body is double walled. the outer skin has eight small holes in, each separated by a depressed wave shape coloured a darker blue. The pot naturally is much smaller on the inside than the exterior shape would suggest. Glaze is a grey blue tenmoku style inside and out with darker blue line detail. It is inscribed (barely visibly) AEA and 88 on the base. It's in excellent condition

10.5cm x 9cm

Hand Turned Wooden Lidded Pot with Natural Bark Finish





SOLD

Unusual cylindrical pot turned from a section of trunk as it still features the bark. I can't identify the wood, a skill at which I am hopeless (it may be ash, I have been informed). It is quite close grained and has been stained although I think it's of some vintage as the stain has itelf become stained in places. The lid fits tightly but may be of a different wood. There are a couple of tiny marks around the edge of the lid and a few spots of paint on it but overall it's in very good condition and is an unusual piece to add to your collection.
