Vintage Worcester Ware Blue Tudor Spice Storage Canisters and Rack

Jon Nix — Sun, 16 Aug 2020 14:25:35 +0000

Ever-so-slightly kitsch (OK... more than a little bit kitsch) spice or herb storage canisters in the Blue Tudor design made by Worcester Ware and dating from the 1960s or 1970s. The four small metal storage canisters - which have secure pop-off lids - are complemented by the original rack for wall mounting.

In excellent condition and seemingly little used, if at all. Each canister measures approximately 8cm (3 in.) in height with a diameter of 6cm (2¼ in.), including the lids and the white metal rack measures approximately 26.6 cm (10 in.) wide, 6cm (2¼ in.) high with a depth of 7cm (2¾ in.). The rack has two fixing holes for hanging.

Large Blue and Purple Floral Design Thetford Tray

Jon Nix — Tue, 11 Aug 2020 13:50:38 +0000

A superb large Thetford Tray from the 1970s, measuring 45cm x 55cm (17.75in x 21.5in) in blue and purple tones with magnificent flower designs for a truly authentic retro look.

There are some minor chips to the underside edges and slight discolouration from use but the top is in very good condition. This would make a great statement piece for any table...

Handcarved Coconut Flower Design Oval Plaque

Jon Nix — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 14:38:14 +0000

A quite kitsch but well made oval wall plaque with carved multi-toned wood design which we believe is coconut, depicting stylised flowers and vase, complete with hanging string. The background of the plaque is made of a lighter sacking style fabric and the flowers have handpainted detailing. It is a good example of folk art using some rather unusual materials.

The plaque measures approximately 30 cm by 20 cm ( 12 in. by 8 in.) and is in very good vintage condition.

West German Georg Schmider Zeller Vase 4338-2

Jon Nix — Thu, 17 May 2018 10:38:08 +0000

A very uncommonly shaped slender vase by Georg Schmider, the form of which dates from the late 1950s. The vase is finished in a delicious - almost matte - glaze and features abstract swirling flower shapes which appear to be handpainted in mauve, teal and light green colours. The simplicity of the vase belies the quality of the execution and it's very tactile.

The base has the form shape debossed into it "4338/2" and "Made in Western Germany" printed on it. This one is in near-perfect condition with no discernible marks, cracks, or chips.

The vase measures 20cm (8 in.) in height, with a base diameter of 6cm (2¼ in.). The top rim diameter (internally) is approximately 2.5cm (1 in.)

Repousse Brass Bevelled Mirror in a hexagonal surround

Jon Nix — Sat, 03 Mar 2018 11:29:11 +0000

This fabulously shaped brass repousse surrounded bevel mirror has considerable vintage appeal as well as being highly functional. It would add a hefty dose of glamour despite its relatively small size. The irregular hexagon shape contains several different panels featuring flower and leaf patterns in high relief and textured triangular sections. The mirror itself is clean and clear with a subtle bevel. The bevel is just about the only subtle thing about this piece!

The mirror is wood backed with an imprint "Made In England" which is slightly surprising as these repousse styles were commonly European. The back has one fairly large scratch but this obviously doesn't affect the use of it.

The surround has signs of use and wear, as one would expect, but these don't detract from the overall appearance in any way. At some point the wall fixings were removed, leaving two small holes in the surround but these are hard to spot - probably because your eyes are dazzled by the thing! The mirror measures 13cm by 18cm (5 in by 7 in) and the surround measures 36cm by 29cm (14 in by 11¼ in).

Charming Danish Candlestick Holders

Jon Nix — Mon, 02 Oct 2017 19:59:28 +0000

Dating most likely from the 1970s these small (5 cm square / 2 in square) Danish candlestick holders are utterly charming with their matt white finish and subtle blue and red design of a girl with flowers, a butterfly and a bird in her hair. That's apparently the way in Denmark. And we don't mind that at all.

Both holders are in quite good shape considering their age - just some minor wear on their edges but overall very nice looking pieces indeed.

Orange and Brown Tablecloth with Flowers, Birds and Butterflies

Jon Nix — Sun, 01 Oct 2017 18:13:03 +0000

A very funky and large 1970s tablecloth measuring 124cm by 124cm (50x50 in), with an orange and brown design featuring flowers, birds and butterflies. The tablecloth has a white background and yellow-orange border and a set of mid-orange matching napkins to really set off the design. In extraordinarily good condition (never used, we think) and a great example!

Jon Nix — Sun, 01 Oct 2017 18:12:28 +0000

An extraordinarily retro, large 1970s tablecloth measuring 130cm by 130cm (52x52 in), with a vivid blue/purple background and patterned with a combination of mauve, turquoise and light blue flowers. In very good condition and a great example of the era's design - truly fab and groovy!

Fab green retro flowers tray

Jon Nix — Thu, 14 Sep 2017 18:03:49 +0000

An absolutely fabulously retro and extremely green "Thetford" tray with flower design: certainly the real deal when it comes to retro styling and did we mention it's very green? A large tray in brilliant condition measuring 58 cm by 28 cm with a depth of 2 cm (23 inches x 11 inches x ¾ inch) which is heat, stain and spirit resistant - but let's not get bogged down with the details, just look at it! ;)

Vintage Papier Mache Box – flowers and birds

Jon Nix — Thu, 17 Aug 2017 09:28:50 +0000

A small (3.5cm by 2.5cm by 1.4cm deep) but pretty cream papier maché box with colourful flowers and birds on top and sides. The label on the base is rather indistinct but possibly reads "CA90". The interior of the box is painted black. A very nice trinket box or display piece, in our opinion!
