Vintage Small Scalloped Oval Dish with Handpainted Flower Design - E.Radford





Small hand painted oval dish with scalloped edge with a handpainted floral design. There is no pattern code on the base and I can'tsee the pattern in my usual resources so whether it's rare or note I cannot say, but it's a pair of yellow flowers flanked on each side by single brownish ones. The dish is in perfect condition.

Hand Finished Bud Vase with Finch Decoration - Ceramica Ibis, Aveiro Portugal


SOLD

Slender trumpet necked bud vase by Ceramica Ibis of Aveiro,Portugal. It is off white with a matt finish that has a translucent bone china quality to it. It has a hand applied gold line under the rim and a design featuring finches sitting on blossomy branches. Not sure what the finches are; they seem to have goldfinch heads but the rest is a mixture. I dare say someone will put me right.  One or two very light surface smudges but nothing serious and otherwise it's in excellent condition.

Vintage Stoneware Vase - Pearson's of Chesterfield - RARE



Pearson's of Chesterfield also produced an art pottery range alongside their domestic stoneware. It's not easy to find but occasionally something does pop up and it's often a real treat. This is a very substantial vase in sage green bearing the post WWII backstamp. I believe the shape is technically termed a "hyperboloid" although as it appears hand thrown I suspect the underlying geometry was ignored by the potter.  It's in fantastic condition with only production blemishes in the very thick glaze.

17.5cm (h) x 12cm dia at base.
