Vintage Handpainted Mint Sauce Jug & Saucer - Devon?

A handpainted slipware mint sauce jug and saucer in yellow, brown and green streaks, possibly post war Devon ware. I have had other items in this pattern before and if memory serves they were, apart from a painter's mark,also unmarked. Still, the set has a simple charm. Both items are lightly crazed and there is a tiny chip on the base of the jug, invisible in normal use.

Overall Size: 16.5cm x 12cm x 8cm(h)

Antique Small Black Milk Glass Creamer Jug - Davidson

Small black (or very deep blackcurrant when the light shines through) milk glass cream jug that I have seen dated variously as Victorian on the 20th Century Glass website and also as Art Deco Davidson on others. I am no expert, I can only give the result of my research! Some surface wear and a small chip to the footring but otherwise still a great looking piece.

Vintage Miniature Copper Lustre Posy Vase - Beswick 1721

Vintage posy vase in copper lustre on black by Beswick. It is mould no 1721 and bears two marks on the base, the impressed name and pattern number, used between the 1950s and 1971 and the copper cursive name in use from 1936 onwards so it's probably safe to say this no younger than 44 years old. It is in very good condition with only mild wear to the lustre work.  

Dimensions: 11.5cm x 5cm x 4cm (h)

Green and Gold Bistro Ware Breakfast Cup and Saucer - Apilco

From the classic Bistro Ware range by Apilco of France dating back to the 1930s, this is a large breakfast cup and saucer duo in green with gold lining. It is used and there are some very light surface marks and some modest wear to the gilding, mainly on the saucer. However, Apilco Bistro Ware is extremely hard wearing and there are years of use left in this pair.

Vintage Carved Wood Candlesticks

A pair of carved candlesticks that look to be ebony at first glance but is most probably stained as there is a nick to the base of one where a lighter wood shows through. Quite heavy and dense though and they ring when knocked together. They are carved with grazing deer or antelope around the stem and top and are possibly African. The bases aren't uniformly flat so they will need stabilising before a candle is inserted. Nice looking pair.

Small Souvenir Jug - Stratford-on-Avon

Small brown, pale blue, green and cream jug, a souvenir of Stratford-on-Avon. And yes, "on" not "upon". Stratford-on-Avon is the larger district rather than the town itself (although I suspect that's just a happy accident). The inscription is sgraffito style, scratched through to the under glaze. It's unmarked and apart from some crazing it's in very good condition.

Vintage Pennine Mug - Wedgwood

Single mug from the Pennine range designed by Eric Owen. There is a chip in the rim opposite the handle but this appears to be original as it's been glazed over so this is almost certainly a second otherwise it's in very good condition.

Vintage Pale Blue and White Tubelined Sugar Bowl - Gray's Pottery

Lovely vintage sugar bowl, plain white with pale blue top half and gold bands around the middle and rim. The blue half is studded with raised tubelined white dots. Grays often bought in blank ware to decorate and this one is no exception as it was originally a piece of Johnson Brothers Pareek as the mark can be seen beneath the Gray's backstamp. The edge line around the rim is a little worn and there is a tiny chip in the footring but otherwise it looks excellent.

Dee Cee Commissioned Small Swirl Pattern Vase - Dümler & Breiden

 
SOLD

Small vase in the familiar cream, green & brown swirl pattern used by the German company Dümler & Breiden. This one though bears the barely visble stamp of Dee Cee, a Birmingham importer owned by Mr Desmond Cooper who commissioned ware from many well known potteries both in the UK and abroad. Slight novelty in that it has an impressed fingerprint just under the rim but in all other respects it's fine.
Measurements: 8cm (h) x 7.5 cm

Vintage Gold Lustre Small Fluted Window Vase - 5039 - Arthur Wood

Pattern 5039 two handled fluted small window vase or table piece. It has a gold lustre glaze but this is badly worn in places (that's not flash flare in the photos) but strangely this doesn't really detract too much, giving it a kind of patina. Will look fine in the right setting.
