The condition of the lamp is generally good and it is working order. There are some superficial scratches to the metalwork as to be expected of an item of this age and use, but the overall cosmetic state is good.The shade has, importantly, retained a good shape. Most likely, the base would originally have had a plastic cover, but this one does not have one.

This one is the Bush-marketed model and features a MW and LW radio with tone and volume controls. The radio is powered independently of the clock, via battery or 9V adaptor. The sound is quite "beefy". The clock - with its German-made movement - runs off a "C" size battery and has a time adjustment and speed correction screw. It seems to run smoothly, but please bear in mind that this is a vintage item and has not been recently used and decide accordingly. It would almost certainly benefit from daily use and/or a service.

This one is in very good condition cosmetically, with no chips or cracks to the plastics or the clock face. The only defect is the missing end cap for the "off" button. It's in the rarer orange colour, as opposed to the seemingly more common white, which makes it all the more desirable. The battery compartment is clean and the AC adaptor input works. There are hanging fixtures on the underside of the unit for wall mounting. As should be expected there is some crackle to the volume and tone knobs, but nothing which lingers once the volume or tone has been set.

Measures approximately 32cm (12½ in.) in length, with a width of 23cm (9 in.) and a depth of 10cm (4 in.). It weighs approximately 2 Kg.  Please note, due to restricitions on the posting of batteries, none are included in this sale.

The lamp is fully functioning and measures 40cm height (15¾ in.) with the gooseneck fully extended vertically, the shade has a front diameter of 14cm (5½ in.) and a length of 18cm (7 in.), and the base has a diameter of 13.25cm (5¼ iu.) and a height of 2.5cm (1 in.).  In terms of condition, it's not bad at all - the shade is in good shape overall bar a couple of minor dents and slight loss of shape, the chrome work is good, and the plastic base is sound despite a few cracks to it. None of these defects are very noticeable, but there is a small loss of paint surface to the top of the base, which you will see in the close-up photographs of the base. It's not awful and we don't deem it bad enough to warrant a repair which might stand out more.

In good condition, with some minor grazes only to the surface and no chips or cracks. The rim is very good. There are other imperfections from the making process but nothing which detracts from the overall look of the vase. The base measures approximately 8 cm (3 in.) and as mentioned it's about 24 cm (9½ in.) in height.

This one is the orange variation (you may have also seen yellow and red versions) and it is in good condition overall, with just some minor superficial surface wear. It is fully functional.

The post Vintage Orange Galet Terraillon Kitchen Timer designed by Roger Tallon appeared first on Anything In Particular.

It features - on the top surface - Fornasetti's trademark black and white illustrative style, depicting various pistols, revolvers, muskets and powder pouches, surrounded by an imitated rivet design, whilst the underneath is a faux wood effect. Both surfaces have significant wear and loss and some discoloration (please review photos carefully) and there is notable handling wear to one corner where the tray has been frequently held.

The tray is a rounded square approximately 33cm by 33cm (11 in. by 11 in.) with a depth of approximately 2cm (¾ in.).

The lamp "body" is plastic throughout and relatively lightweight (the base is not heavily weighted). A subtle power button is located just behind and underneath the cobra head. The gooseneck portion is covered in a black ridged plastic tubing and allows for flexible position of the head.

The lamp is in good condition and working. It should be noted that rhe plastic tubing covering the gooseneck has some minor dimpling to it and there is some wear to the rear edge of the plastic base near to the power cord. However, neither of these is particularly offensive nor noticeable in ordinary use.

The lamp measures 81 cm (32 in.) approximately in height with the neck fully extended and the base measures approximately 16.5 cm (6½ in.) in diameter and 4cm (1½ in.) in height. The "shade" portion of the lamp is approximately 15cm (6 in) in diameter and the flexible portion of the lamp is approximately 23 cm (9 in.) in length. The lamp takes a standard bayonet bulb, the recommendation being for it to be either a traditional or "globe" shape to suit the aperture provided by the shade.

As well as its snake-like body, the lamp also has a rotatable metal shade in brushed metal which provides additional positioning possibilities. Ours is in good clean working condition, with minor wear and tear to the shade, some slight discoloration to the metal parts in places, and a couple of very minor indents to the shade which are barely noticeable without close inspection. We have decided to leave these imperfections "as is" rather than attempt to make the lamp look "new" again with significant polishing etc. It's an almost 50 year old lamp despite its modern looks and so, aside from cleaning it, we have respected that and done no more. The buyer might wish to fully polish the shade and metal parts but that would not be our choice.

The "body" of the lamp measures approximately 128cm (51 in.) with an additional 1.5m (59 in.) of flex. An inline switch provides an on/off button and the rubber sleeve which marks the meeting of the flex and the body is embossed with "VALENTI MADE IN ITALY".  The shade is approximately 9cm (3½ in.) in diameter.

In very good condition, although it's rather difficult to discern damage on the exteriors due to their already very uneven and highly irregular surfaces. There may be one or two places where it appears that the glaze didn't take or the vase has been grazed - nothing that detracts from the looks of this great pair of Italian objects, though!

We're open to offers on these, so please do get in touch if you are interested in them and we can discuss pricing and shipping/collection options with you.

This is a padded picture inside an ornate brass frame of two bunny rabbits. It was made in Italy and measures approximately 22cm (8½in) by 11.5cm (4½in) with a depth of 1cm (½in)

(Ed.: I'm assured this is a fabulously and beautifully kitsch item, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder!).
