Vintage Kitsch Tony Wood Studio Pottery Grey Cat Creamer Jug

And now for something completely different... and it doesn't get much more different than this Tony Wood Studio cat-shaped jug for milk or cream. You might think it incredibly kitsch (I'm not sure I'd disagree) or a fine piece of cat-themed tableware - the choice is yours, of course. It's certainly going to make someone as happy as the cat who got the cream. (Sorry).

The jug is in good condition bar what might be some wear to the right cheek of the cat, with no apparent chips or cracks, and measures approximately 12.5cm (5 in.) in height.

Rectangular Modernist Sadler Jug Vase in Moss Green (Form 168)

A very strikingly "different" jug vase from Sadler. Well known for their more traditional shapes, this vase is anything but that, with its rectangular form, "bobble" and "ribbing" textures and uncompromising styling. If a pottery vase can be brutal or modernist, then this one can make the claim. In a moss green colour with square rim and handle, the vase measures 11.5cm (4½ in.) in width, 7.5cm (3 in.) in depth and is 13cm (5¼ in.) high. The vase is in good condition with only very minor and superficial signs of age and wear. There are a couple of minor grazes which are only noticeable under very close inspection.

Greenway by John Russell for Hostess Tableware

Crisp white ground and modern shapes are brought to life with green diamonds and circle patterns on these fabulous "Greenway" sets. Brought into existence by renowned designer John Russell (primarily known for his designs at Midwinter) and made by Hostess Tableware, the "Greenway" pieces are great examples of their era and the designer.

The pieces are in very good condition. There are only minor blemishes to the designs in places, and some wear to the gilding, but nothing major and there are no chips or cracks.

Uber Retro Thermos Jug in Yellow

Yes, *that* yellow. The yellow that VW Camper Vans are made of. The yellow that Austin Allegros were made of (not many still exist, unsurprisingly!). The yellow that *made* the 70s, basically.

This very chic 1 litre Thermos Jug (a.k.a "Leisure maker"!) is in superb condition and we're actually loathe to part with it, it's such a nice piece and perfectly usable as well! Obviously, it's a Thermos so it keeps hot things hot and cold things cold, but this is more than that as you can see from the photos!

This one seems to have been barely used, if at all, and it comes with the original box, although it's a little misshapen and showing its age, but aren't we all? The jug measures 30cm (12 in) high with a diameter at the base of 12cm (4.5 in) - the box is slightly bigger, as boxes tend to be. If we were to be really picky we'd say that the lid has a little bit of fading compared to the main body, but that would really be splitting hairs in relation to the overall condition of the item, which is very good.

One for the VW Camper fans, we think!
