Vintage Wade “Fern” duo of cup and sandwich plate in red, black and white

Jon Nix — Mon, 17 Apr 2023 10:13:36 +0000

A very stylish duo of a sandwich plate and cup made by Wade, in a very 1950s design of red, black and white in the "Fern" pattern. The plate is a truncated slightly oval affair with curved handle-like forms on each end whilst the cup has a deep red interior and sits off-centre in the plate providing room for sandwiches (or biscuits!).

The plate meassures approximately 24cm (9½ in.) in length with a maximum width of approximately 23cm (8¾ in.). The cup has a rim diameter of 9cm (3½ in.) and a height of 6cm (2¼ in.). Both are in good vintage condition with no chips or cracks butthere is some crazing to the glazes as to be expected, and some minor marks/discolouration to the underside of the plate.

Multicoloured Abstract Olive Green Vase Form 8013 by Fratelli Fanciullacci

A striking little vase from the Italian makers Fratelli Fanciullacci and dating from the 1950s-60s. The vase has an almost double-gourd shape and an olive green ground, upon which abstract white lines and dots of various colours (yellow, blue, red, black, green, white) have been handpainted. The patterns are glossy and raised up from the matte ground. It's typical of Fanciullacci vases of the period in many ways, though less textured than many of their designs.

This one is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks and you'd be pressed to find even a superficial graze on it. The vase is signed in the Fanciullacci method ("ITALY") on the base along with the form number 8013. The vase measures approximately 15cm (6 in.) in height with a base diameter of 5.5cm (2¼ in.) and a diameter of 10cm (4 in.) at its widest part.

1950s Handpainted Colourful Stripes Flattened Oval Vase

Jon Nix — Tue, 08 Sep 2020 14:27:57 +0000

If an object can be granted human characteristics, then this vase is cheerful and a little bit eccentric. Believed to date from the 1950s, this hand-painted vase not only has colourful stripes to bring some cheer but also a dotted pattern within the stripes and black dashed line work around them and also around the rim to accentuate the positive (sorry). It's a semi-shouldered vase, with a gently curving shape and a flattened oval form which descends to a circular base. It's possibly Italian - there is a very indistinct stamp to the base which is not legible - and that would certainly be appropriate. Everyone who has seen this vase has loved it for its quirkiness.

In good condition with no chips or cracks to the exerior, but some age discolouration to the interior, the vase stands approximately 15 cm (6 in.) high on a base with a diameter of 5cm (2 in). The oval rim of the vase measures approximately 9cm (3½ in.) by 5cm (2 in.), with the curved "shoulders" extending outwards by about 2cm (¾ in.) and 1cm (3/8 in.) at the vase's narrowest and widest respectively.
