Vintage Denby Pottery and Teak Salt and Pepper Pots Set – Danish Design

Jon Nix — Sat, 24 Sep 2022 21:05:33 +0000

A pair of vintage and extremely uncommon Denby salt and pepper pots, combining Denby's stoneware expertise with the Danish design of Kurt Franzen of Digsmed to give these teak-bodied condiments a mid-century flavour. The fixed pottery tops - we think these were designed as part of the "Romany" range or at least would be a good match for it - have a grey-brown speckled gradient and are perforated with an "S" and a "P" in the top. The rounded teak bodies have a plastic stopper in the base for re-filling.

Measuring approximately 10cm (4 in.) in height, and with a maximum diameter of approximately 6.5cm (2½ in.), they are in very good used condition - the salt pot has a firing defect which has been glazed. They individually weigh approximately 220g.

Large Vintage Rough Glazed Stoneware Swan Ink Bottle

Jon Nix — Tue, 22 Oct 2019 20:11:23 +0000

A large (24 cm / 9½ in. high) stoneware bottle which originally contained Swan Ink and probably dates from the first half of the 20th Century. The bottle retains a partial label from which it can be ascertained that this once contained blue ink "made by the swan pen people". A piece with lots of character, we think, with an interesting speckled ground, rough glaze and some very dried ink marks.

Possibly re-purposable as a vase or simple as a decorative object, the bottle has stood the test of time well and has no chips or cracks and is in good overall condition. There is no maker's mark but the bottle was possibly made by Lovatt Langley Mill who were well known for this kind of container and stoneware finish. The diameter of the bottle is 11cm (4¼ in.) at its maximum, with the cylindrical shape of the body being 19cm (7½ in.)

Ruth Bradbury Stoneware Light Blue/Grey Vase

A very good-looking and strikingly designed stoneware vase from highly-renowned Ruth Bradbury Ceramics, and dating from the 1980s. The maker's label and mark are both present. The main colouring is a mix of light-blue and grey and the shape is unusual whilst remaining very functional as a small flower/posy vase or purely for decoration.

The vase measures approximately 9cm (3½ in) tall and is in very good condition.
