Absolutely fabulous vintage square linen tablecloth with a mod / op art style design of dots in yellows and browns arranged in a semi-block fashion on a white ground with regular yellow dots in-between. In very good condition with just a couple of minor edging snags and in seemingly unused condition. The fabric measures approximately 120cm (47 in.) square.

Vintage Orange/Amber Optical Art Spiral Design Double Waisted Glass Vase

Jon Nix — Sat, 13 Aug 2022 21:43:15 +0000

A stunning glass vase measuring 24 cm (9½ in.) in height with a double waisted design and a very eye-catching spiral pattern running through it. It's a relatively delicate piece of glass in an orange-amber colour (more orange than some of the brown-tinged amber colours which you see) and it really dazzles with light behind it and the interplay of the spiral patterns coming to the fore. Unmarked but very probably from Empoli, Italy. The photos here really don't do it justice, though we've tried! The vase is handblown with the very distinctive marks to the base which are evidence of this method of manufacture and though we can't be sure, it's most likely of Italian origin.

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.

Blue Mink by John Russell for Hostess Tableware (1971)

Crisp white ground and modern shapes are brought to life with a blue, mauve and mushroom dot design on these fabulous "Blue Mink" sets. Brought into existence by renowned designer John Russell (primarily known for his designs at Midwinter) and made by Hostess Tableware, the "Blue Mink" pieces are increasingly uncommon and are great examples of their era and the designer. We love the almost mod / op art look of the design and their cool tones.

The pieces are in very good condition. There are only minor blemishes to the designs in places, but nothing major and there are no chips or cracks, so do take this opportunity to grab these rare items whilst we have them!
