Vintage Hammered Art Deco Pewter Milk Jug - Barkers English Pewter

An Art Deco hammered effect pewter milk jug by Barkers, size 3. It has a few little knocks consistent with age and it is also slightly out of shape, the opening being a little more oval than round. It is not beyond redemption and there's nothing an amateur restorer can't fix and I'm sure it will buff up nicely, too. No scratches. 

All measurements approx:
8cm tall, 14 cm, max diameter

Antique Pewter Measure - Quarter Gill - Verified Sunderland & Durham

SOLD

Lovely quarter gill measure in pewter. It is absolutely peppered with verification marks and I think from several regions. There are some Georges and Edwards and one definite Victoria over a Uniform Verification number of 64 (which is the region mark, not a year). I think this relates to Sunderland from 1880 onwards. I can also make out a GR over a 155 which would probably equate to County Durham from 1891 onwards and George V. The north-east is at least consistent. Excellent little item with a wonderful history attached if you have the time to research it.

Vintage Small "Salad Ware" Sauce Boat and Saucer - Carlton Ware

SOLD

Lovely miniature Salad Ware Lettuce and Tomato sauce boat and saucer set from Carlton Ware. As ever, dating these is always a bit tricky, they were produced for a long time, so I can make no claims whatosever on age. What looks to be transfer rather than stamped marks on the base probably dates it to fairly late, though. The stamps are the "Australian Reg'd Design" ones. And as usual, I am open to any advice from collectors and experts! However, bar the usual crazing, it's in fine condition.

Vintage or Antique Lidded Pot Holder

SOLD

Rather splendid lidded pot holder in a cylindrical "cage" design. It has a notched lid indicating it probably held a glass pot, for preserves or sauce or, my preference, ink. The sides are a latticework of mildly Moorish influenced bars and verticals. The handle is quite ornate Condition is fairly fragile-looking. It's had a couple of bumps and there's a dent from the handle on the lid. Also close examination with a high-powered loupe reveals bits of the surface to be flaking or corroding, especially around some of the edges. It's possible it has a coating of some kind. There also appears to be a couple of slight fractures around the hinge which aren't visible to the naked eye (well, not mine anyway). A skilled restorer will, I'm fairly certain, be able to make the hinge a bit safer and remove the dents but as a stand alone conversation piece it looks fine. There are no makers marks or touch marks so I am unable to age it.

Set of Six Stoneware Napkin Rings

Rather splendid set of six ceramic napkin rings, decorated with a scratched leaf vein design and three berries. They are not identical and are all either signed or initialled with what appears to be either "Fiddy" or "Tiddy" or an F or T. I can't trace the signature but they are well made and in great condition.

Approx measurements: 5cm x 3cm

Pink Pressed Glass/Carnival Glass Candlestick and Pin Tray

SOLD

Vintage pressed glass candlestick and matching pin tray in carnival glass pink colour. My feeling is that there ought to be a second candlestick holder but minimal interior design skills should should be enough to cope with this particular arrangement! They have been used as there's a bit of wax residue but there's no apparent damage.

Vintage Large Milk Jug - Brixham Pottery

Vintage Bar Ashtray - Champagne Moët & Chandon

SOLD

Vintage large bar ashtray by Proceram of Aubagne en Provence advertising Moët & Chandon champagne. It's in a khaki/yellow in the Moët shield design. There are several small nips and fleabites to the edges but this is a small price to pay for a slightly less run of the mill ashtray, even by pub standards. Sure to be a talking point.

Vintage "Bermuda" Milk Jug - Lord Nelson Pottery

Milk jug in the Bermuda design of rustic green and brown panels from the Lord Nelson Pottery. There is what appears to be a date stamp on the base, 1-70, which if it is indeed a date would be of the right vintage. There are a couple of very small scratches to the panels but otherwise it's in very good condition.

Vintage White China Boots - Plichta - Highly Collectable

Plain white boot with pale green inner made, before 1952, for Plichta of London by, I think, Wemyss (of Bovey). It's quite crazed, one craze line is possibly a hairline crack down the back (visible from the inside). There is also a small chip on the edge which has been coloured in green and appears darker than the surrounding colour. The slip of residue on the sole visible in the photo has now been removed.

Vintage Studio Pottery Cup and Saucer Set - Lotus Pottery, Stoke Gabriel

Beautiful cup and saucer set by Lotus Pottery of Stoke Gabriel in dark green glaze with wax resist pattern. The saucer has a bit of a paint splatter underneath which has unfortunately gone onto the unglazed base (and is invisible from above) but otherwise the condition is excellent.

Together: 12.5cm diameter x 10cm

Vintage "Bermuda" Sugar Bowl - Lord Nelson Pottery

Inverted cone sugar bowl in the Bermuda design from Lord Nelson Pottery. This dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and is in excellent condition. It comes with a stainless steel sugar spoon that has been bent into an unusual shape. Now I'm not sure whether this was an original accessory or whether someone has tried an interesting variation on an existing design! The fact that it is slightly corroded around the join with the bowl suggests the latter but I reserve judgement.

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.

Small Studio Pottery Style Earthenware Mug

SOLD

Small earthenware mug in mixed brown drip glaze and scratched oval eye shape design around body. Not sure of the maker, it does have a stamped mark on the base which looks to be a C and maybe and I inside a circle but I can't find a reference for it. Quite quirky but in excellent condition.

Vintage Stoneware Oil Pourer - Buchan Riviera

Beautiful light blue oil pourer from the "Riviera" range by Buchan Stoneware. There were three Riviera patterns, this is the abstract one. The stamp on the base is the impressed thistle and M7 - 185 and a 256. The painter's mark is a star. It comes complete with stopper although I think there may well be a missing cork as the stopper has a threaded shaft as though to take a seal of some kind. Riviera dates from post 1956, the condition of the base suggests it could well be of that vintage. Apart from the missing seal the bottle is in fine condition and there doesn't appear to be any stale taint from the inside.
