Pair of Miniature Brass Candlesticks



Pair of miniature brass altar style candlesticks.  They are thick plate rather than cast and will hold a candle with a stem of around 7mm.

Very precise detail and good colour. It does have a small chip underneath one end of the "stalk" which isn't visible from above and it is crazed as one would expect.

Vintage Olive Green Gloss Glazed Vase - Chris Carter



Produced by Chris Carter while he was at Drayton Manor Park between 1976 and 1986. This bears little resemblance to his more recent sculptural work but the earthy colours and roughness maybe hint at where he was heading. The base part is matt glazed, the top a gloss drip from a rough brown rim.  There is an intact label on the base, with remnants of one other on the body.  There is a small chip in the glaze - just down to the clay and not into it, on the rim, otherwise it in excellent condition.

Set of Five Vintage 60s/70s Eggcups - Sadler




Set of five green egg cups by Sadler. There are four dark green ones and one in a slightly more olive green . Three are in generally good condition, two dark ones are damaged one has a fairly large chip to the glaze on the rim and the other has had a chip repaired.

The start price is for the three good ones, the others can be used as make ups in a set until you can obtain better ones! Postage will not be affected.
