Vintage Colourful French Educalux Pull-Along Dog Toy

A gloriously colourful, ever-so-slightly cheeky and immensely cute vintage French wooden pull-along dog toy, made by Educalux and dating to the 1970s. What to say? Well, this chap has a number of notable features: principally, he's made up of various independently rotating sections, he has flapping plastic ears attached with metal rivets, his original sticker is still present on one of the wooden wheels, and for some unknown reason he has a kind of tartan fabric mid-section. It should also be pointed out that he's had a nose job. No, that's not his original nose, it's a newly-added one done in the style of the original which wasn't present when he was "re-homed". It's a good match and it's likely that if you didn't know, you wouldn't know - if that makes sense. His pull cord is not original either, but again it is a good match for the original kind of cotton cord that would have been, but wasn't.

This cheerfully bright and well-made dog measures approximately 26cm (10 in.) long with a height of approximately 18cm (7 in.). He might be a he. But could be a she. Either way, difficult to resist :)

Offers to rehome this delightful little dog are warmly invited.

Signed Arthur Wood Dog Money Box with Handpainted Flower Design

Put some money aside and put a smile on your (or someone else's) face courtesy of this Arthur Wood handpainted ceramic dog money box which dates from the 1960s or 1970s. Finished with an orange and brown floral design on a white ground this little canine comes complete with happy eyes, seemingly wet nose, a warm smile, and original sticker still adhered to his tail. Rather unusually, this one features blue eyes - others we have seen have rather plain looking painted eyes.

In very good condition with only very minor signs of wear and age (the odd graze to the finish), the money box has its original "bung" and is signed to the base. The dog is approximately 18cm (7 in.) long.

Beswick Lemon and Black Sgraffito Vase Shape No. 7653

Fully stamped and debossed on the base with the shape number "7653", this Beswick vase in lemon and black with Sgraffito design has also, rather unusually, retained its Beswick sticker on the outside. The lemon yellow tone of the outer design is complemented with a corresponding gradated colour interior making for a stylish piece which makes quite a statement in its own right. We believe that this style of vase dates from the late 1950s/early 1960s - it would certainly fit right in with the decor from that period or a contemporary home with vintage sensibilities.

The vase is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks and with only one minor indentation on the exerior which is barely noticeable except via very close inspection. It measures 27cm (10½ in.) high with a rim diameter of 6cm (2¼ in.) and a base diameter of 8cm (3¼ in.)
