Rare 1960s Arthur Wood Pottery Orange and Brown Striped Cat Money Bank

If ceramic cats have nine ceramic lives like their real-world feline counterparts, then this cheerful chap is probably on number nine of those. After suffering a catastrophic travel injury, he arrived at AIP HQ in a manner which can only be described as "not completely intact". Rather than consign him to history (i.e. the bin or to the bottom of plant pots), we set about repairing him, on the basis that he'd managed to live for over 50 years and was still smiling and that deserved to be taken into account.
So, he's not perfect, far from it, but he's got a winning personality despite the misadventures.
He was made by Arthur Wood Pottery and he's a rare thing indeed. You don't see many of these at all. He measures about 20 cm long and about 17cm high (including that wonderful tail). In terms of his faults, he now has quite a few but he's intact and that's the main thing now. Hopefully the significant repairs he has had (see the photos for details) - notably tail reconstruction surgery and re-painting - are good enough to warrant someone re-homing him "as is"...

Pair of Vintage German Striped Brown Jasba Vases Pattern 108/22

Jon Nix — Wed, 07 Oct 2020 19:49:12 +0000

An unusual opportunity to purchase a pair of matching form 108/22 Jasba Keramik matching vases. These German-made vases feature a glossy brown (almost maroon) glaze with a multi-coloured pattern of stripes in various tones of pink, green, orange, yellow and white. It would appear to be a variation on the "Bamberg" pattern. The vases, with their gold rims and bases, have more than a slightly "glam" look to them and date back to the late 1950s. The price is for the pair, but consideration will be given to splitting them.

In good condition with no chips or cracks. There is wear to the gold rims but this is not immediately obvious given the glossy nature of the finish overall. The vases are 22cm (9 in.)in height with a rim diameter of 7cm (2¾ in.), a maximum diameter of 10cm (4 in.), and base diameter of 7cm (2¾ in.).

1950s Handpainted Colourful Stripes Flattened Oval Vase

Jon Nix — Tue, 08 Sep 2020 14:27:57 +0000

If an object can be granted human characteristics, then this vase is cheerful and a little bit eccentric. Believed to date from the 1950s, this hand-painted vase not only has colourful stripes to bring some cheer but also a dotted pattern within the stripes and black dashed line work around them and also around the rim to accentuate the positive (sorry). It's a semi-shouldered vase, with a gently curving shape and a flattened oval form which descends to a circular base. It's possibly Italian - there is a very indistinct stamp to the base which is not legible - and that would certainly be appropriate. Everyone who has seen this vase has loved it for its quirkiness.

In good condition with no chips or cracks to the exerior, but some age discolouration to the interior, the vase stands approximately 15 cm (6 in.) high on a base with a diameter of 5cm (2 in). The oval rim of the vase measures approximately 9cm (3½ in.) by 5cm (2 in.), with the curved "shoulders" extending outwards by about 2cm (¾ in.) and 1cm (3/8 in.) at the vase's narrowest and widest respectively.

Pair of Mid-Century Heavily Textured Fratelli Fanciullacci Vases

Heavily textured exteriors with a white ground and bold stripes in black, red and green provide a stark contrast to a glossy yellow interior on this fabulous pair of lava-style Fratelli Fanciullacci vases, made in Italy in the 1950s. Each vase is approximately 12cm high with a maximum width of 10cm and is signed on the base.

In very good condition, although it's rather difficult to discern damage on the exteriors due to their already very uneven and highly irregular surfaces. There may be one or two places where it appears that the glaze didn't take or the vase has been grazed - nothing that detracts from the looks of this great pair of Italian objects, though!

We're open to offers on these, so please do get in touch if you are interested in them and we can discuss pricing and shipping/collection options with you.

Walter Gropius for Rosenthal “TAC 1” Teapot, Jug and Sugar Bowl (1969)

Jon Nix — Fri, 07 Sep 2018 12:29:13 +0000

The association between architectural giant of the Bauhaus Movement, Walter Gropius, and the Rosenthal Porcelain company of Selb, West Germany began with the commission to design and build a factory and ultimately led to the design of this fabulous range, "TAC 1", which came to market in 1969.

Stylistically very distinctive, the various forms, angles and proportions of each item play off each other wonderfully as a set. Each piece is finished in a thin concentric pattern of slightly rough lines in a subtlely brown tone and all are in excellent condition (no cracks, no chips). Each piece is stamped in a dark green with the Rosenthal and "studio-line" marks.

Dimensions:

Teapot: 24cm from spout to handle. 12cm height. Diameter at widest part above the base, 14cm.

Jug: 14cm from spout to handle. 7cm height. Diameter at widest part above the base, 10cm.

Bowl: 10cm top diameter. 7cm height. Diameter at widest part above the base, 10cm.

We would welcome offers on this unusual set and can discuss shipping or collection oprions with interested parties.

Set of Four Pukeberg Smoked Glass Black Stemmed Dessert Bowls

A set of four stylish dessert bowls made by Pukeberg of Sweden, featuring a subtley gradated smoked glass body with black stems and a stripey textured deep base. Very retro elegance!

The bowls are in generally excellent condition with their stickers intact. One bowl has a minor rim bump but we feel that this doesn't detract from their overall appeal at all.

Each bowl measures 8 cm (3¼ in.) in height with a rim diameter of 9.5cm (3¾ in.) and a base diameter of 7cm (2¾ in.)
