ROYALTY.
1.Superb Queen Victoria jug to celebrate the 60th year of her reign in 1897.There are 2 printed sides,and there is no damage. A scarce item as the years pass by,but Queen Victoria and pre WW2 Royalty items are making a huge comeback, we notice this more than many due to our trading circle.These items also make a good investment if chosen wisely. £75.

2.Beautiful Doulton Queen Victoria Commemorative mug in blue and white transfer.There is a lot of information on this mug,it was presented in 1897 by the Mayor of Grimsby.Even then Royal Doulton was expensive,so perhaps only the Mayors favourites were given one each of these.Lovely clear mark underneath,the usual high Royal Doulton Standard. £95.

3.Superb mug designed by the Art Deco doyen of the day Dame Laura Knight.We have been very lucky recently,inasmuch as we have acquired 2 of these rare mugs,one already listed for King George the 6th.. Now we offer this slightly rarer mug for King Edward the 8th (notice the past tense) who abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson the American divorcee.This rocked the British throne to it's roots,as Edward the 8th (formerly the then Prince of Wales) was always very popular with the ladies and he could have married any one of many unattached European Princesses.He was very handsome and it was once said that he was the Worlds most eligible bachelor.A sad but true story.Did Wallis do right by him? it seems she led a fast and racey lifestyle post marrying the ex King, so it appears that she never changed... This mug for sale at £99

4.This is a most delightful small glass plate to celebrate Queen Victorias Golden Jubilee in 1887.It is oval in shape and is about 7inches long.The condition is excellent,a little gem and rare.. £65.

POTTERY , POTTERY2 & SWANSEA

1. Pair of Sepia matching Swansea plates.The backstamp is Primavessi Swansea and Cardiff.The latter were the retailers in the area for the Pottery companies especially the Cambrian.There is also an impressed "indentation" backstamp that Swansea potters used..£68 the pair.

2...YNYSMEDW.A large Blue and White hexagonal transfer jug bought years back from a collector of Welsh pottery.This jug is unmarked but we saw another -just like this one, in a green transfer,and that had the "WW" Williams mark for Ynysmedw.The jug is basically in good condition,it has damp and grease marks inside the jug,but good on the outside.The pattern is Rural.. £80

3.LLANELLY POTTERY. This large jug is in the NAUTILUS pattern and was made in the Coombes and Holland Period of production.One big problem ! -- there is a crack from the top to the bottom,right down one side that has been completely sealed.If you wanted to show this jug on it's good side, it will cost you £65........

4...SWANSEA willow plate.A lovely Dinner sized plate impressed DILLWYN in a semi horseshoe on the reverse.Many years back, a very old Swansea collector said that there are 30 apples always on a Swansea willow pattern.Well he must have been unable to count as this one has 31 apples,but I suppose he was very close!! £75

5..SWANSEA JUG.This is a well documented shaped jug in relief moulding.We have seen 2 of these jugs impressed with Swansea workmans backstamps.This jug stands on 4 short feet,and one of the feet has an inner crack,that is not visible from the outside,it is below the base anyway.The outer rim edge and body decoration,is coloured with the usual Swansea Chocolate brown.A nice little jug for the Welsh Collector £85.

POTTERY & POTTERY2

1.STAFFORDSHIRE large,beautiful flow blue double handled plates.These are truly lovely,and they were made by Ridgways/Master Victorian Potters.A lot of beautiful porcelain, wrongly attributed by Museums to Rockingham, have proven to have been made by Ridgways,such was the quality of the latters work.
The backstamp on these plates is Opaque Granite China by W.R &Co beneath the Vicotrian crown.The pattern name, in a cartouche, is HongKong.At this time c1840's to Mid Victorian, there was an inordinate amount of interest in anything Oriental - and the Oriental patterns were avidly copied by the best British and European Potteries.
These 2 stunningly handsome plates would attract instant attention in your home,such is the quality. There are 2 very small back rim chips from a wire holder. £118 the pair post free.

2..STAFFORDSHIRE.Childs antique pottery teaset c1830-40.Very desirable as it is in such good condition.The only fault is a flake rim chip on the cup.The teapot and lidded sucrier are perfect.It is very rare to find a childs teaset with a lidded sucrier,as most are later in date and have an open sugar bowl.The whole set can be yours for £78.

3..Antique Japan Patterned shell shaped dish painted and gilded by hand,the pink trellis border being transferred.Dated approx c 1845,and probably made by Ridgways.There is one old scrape chip to the rim.A lovely item on display, we always try to find the best -- good quality antique items but at reasonable prices to display on our website. £48.

2.Pair of large impressive Victorian vases showing elegant ladies in a garden setting.the ground colour of predominantly green accentuates well with the lilacs of the ladies dress.Both vases are in great condition for c1870 and of a good size.The rotund shape is difficult to photograph as the glaze which is very good,catches the light from the flash.Needless to say,these are quality vases.£150 the pair +£20 for the special delivery post in GB.

3.Ancient YNYSMEDW jugs.Splendid pair of Ynysmedw jugs,this famous little pottery that was situated in the Upper Swansea valley.Ynysmedw pottery has grown steadily in collectability,and is now on an equal footing with Welsh pottery collectors as the great Cambrian Swansea Pottery and also the Llanelly Pottery.It has been found that this Pottery produced some really good transfer patterned wares,as good in quality and glaze,as many of the best Staffordshire potteries.Neither jug is marked,but we have previously bought jugs of this style and shape that were stamped YMP.The pattern is of course one of the sheet patterns of sea weed or Hawthorn familiar to the Welsh Potteries.Both jugs were bought from a private collector of Welsh pottery who is now dispersing the collection.7-8inches tall,c1850 and both in good condition.There is a small minor surface glaze chip on one,which is not noticeable.There is no restoration at all to either jug.£100 per jug.Very rare.
