Vintage Purple Arthur Wood Hand Painted Piggy Bank (5272)

Jon Nix — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 19:26:34 +0000

A pottery piggy bank, which dates from the 1970s and is unmistakeably an Arthur Wood piece, though no sticker is attached. The stylised floral design is hand painted in white and orange tones onto a deep plum/purple ground and the piece has the model number "5272" in gold to the base. Also on the base is the original plastic stopper.

The piggy bank measures approximately 22cm long, 12cm tall and 8.5cm wide. It's in good condition with just some surface grazes and minor wear from use, but no chips or cracks.

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...

Pyramid Enamel Two Handled Lidded Dish with Flowers and Butterflies Design

Jon Nix — Thu, 31 Oct 2019 21:54:46 +0000

A very attractive piece of enamelware made by Hague & McKenzie in their "Pyramid" range, this white lidded pot with two handles features a flowers and butterflies design in purple-blue, blues, yellow and olive green offset by a lid in a purple-blue tone. It's _very_ vintage in style but probably dates from the 1970s and is complete with its original labels affixed to the base and also to the inside of the pot and also original tag tied to one of the handles.

It therefore appears to have never been used at all, but unfortunately it has nevertheless suffered some slight damage to the inside of the rim. This shouldn't affect normal use and it's not terrible from an aesthetic point of view, but it needs to be noted. It could be easily "touched up" if so desired.

The dish measures approximately 18cm (7in.) in diameter on the rim and 14cm (5½ in.) at the base, with the handles protruding 2.5cm (1 in.) either side. Without the lid, it is approximately 8 cm (3¼ in.) in height, and with the lid adding approximately 4cm (1½ in.) to that.

Orange and Purple Sharp’s Toffee Tin

Jon Nix — Thu, 17 Aug 2017 09:29:06 +0000

This large (24cm by 13cm by 4.5cm) Sharp's toffee tin has a vivid orange and purple colour scheme with boats at sunset theme on the lid. Its underside shows its origins: Edward Sharp & Sons. of Kreemy Works (yes!), Maidstone, England. Sharp's was one of Britain's foremost confectionery manufacturers by the middle of the 20th Century - and it's likely the tin originally contained toffee, for which the company was noted.
