Vintage Large Green Celtic Mug - Arklow Pottery, Co. Wicklow, Ireland

SOLD

Very large mug by the now defunct Arklow Pottery of Co. Wicklow, Eire. Very Celtic inspired design with lots of intertwining, knotting and plaiting. I feel I ought to know what the image is, maybe someone out there can enlighten me. Arklow went under in the late 1990s so these are becoming rare. Apart from a little staining on the inside bottom, that will remove with a bit of effort (I've cleaned it up quite a bit), it's in excellent condition. Very nice looking object.

Hand Carved Horn & Shell Souvenir Dolphin

Dolphin hand carved from horn and mounted on a beautiful magpie shell (cittarium pica), a native of the Caribbean, in turn bolt mounted onto a piece of horn. This is engraved with the name of a large Caribbean island I'm not allowed to name so presumably it's a souvenir. A beautiful item.

Vintage Silver Lustre "Georgian" Teapot - Gibsons

Large silver lustre teapot in the Georgian design by Gibsons. Gadrooned rim and bottom half with matt black handle and lid finial. There are a few light wear points and a couple of stains that may polish off but by and large it's in very good condition. It has been used but staining inside is minimal and there is very little crazing inside, hardly any of which is stained. Nice impressive retro piece.

Small Hand Carved Wooden Dolphin Ornament

Small ornamental hand carved wooden dolphin. It's in a lightweight light coloured wood and while it does have a few small marks and what look to be splash marks it's in overall very good condition. The contrast in the pictures has been tweaked a bit to highlight the marks which are not as pronounced in normal light.

Hand Carved Bird Handled Scoop

SOLD

Large bowled spoon or scoop with a bird as the handle. It looks to be carved from horn although I can make no guarantees on this as there are some very convincing plastics. It is though hand finished, the legs being done with a fretsaw or similar and and the detail on the wings and feathers being engraved. A little bit of wear but in very good condition otherwise.

Vintage Devon Ware Sauce Boat and Saucer - Fieldings

The backstamp dates this to between 1917 & 1930 or thereabouts. It's a small yellow Devon Ware sauce boat and saucer by Fieldings. Both parts are crazed and a there are a couple of chips to the edge of the saucer. Unfortunately there's a crack in the handle by the bottom join. Still looks quite good though.

Pair of Vintage Gold Rimmed Candle Holders - Prinknash Abbey Pottery

Miniature Brass Coal Scuttle Planter

Small but heavy miniature coal scuttle with hinged handle. It's made with a very thick grade plate meaning it's quite robust. The loop looks to have been soldered on as an afterthought although it could just be worn. This belonged to a friend who used it as a small planter for many years so there are some blemishes and stains and a little verdigris but some time on a buffer will get it shining again.

Small Stoneware Bowl - JH

SOLD

Small shallow stoneware bowl in rings of white, clear and brown glaze. It is impressed "Jh" on the base  and while there are many potters with those initials I couldn't find one with the matching style. It's in great condition though.

Large Stoneware Salt Pig

Very large stoneware salt pig in a speckled light yellow green glaze. It has a panel below the wide mouth with "salt" impressed on it, very much in the style of Tremar but it is rougher in finish and a slightly different style and colouration to their output. It is marked, a small square impression on the base but I can't match it to any reference. It is in very good condition although it does have a few small nips around the mouth, largely because the texture of the clay is very granular. However it still has a huge amount of life left in it.
