stripes - Anything In Particular https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product-tag/stripes/ From antique to vintage, from decorative to downright bizarre.

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.

The circular seat and rest are both completed with black piping and the slightly splayed legs are finished with elegant self-balancing feet.

The chair is in original unrestored visual condition, with ageing and wear to the vinyl (notably for some reason to the green stripes which are much subtler than they would have been) but we have refreshed the padding with new foam to the seat and backrest so that it is at least a lot more functional and comfortable than when it came to us!  There is a small tear to the vinyl on the front side of the seat (pictured) which doesn't affect the look of the chair in any way and we don't think it will deteriorate further.  The chair is structurally very solid, so if a purchaser would prefer to completely re-cover the chair, then it's on a firm foundation that they would be doing so.

Dimensions:

Chair Height: 76cm
Chair Max. Width: 46cm
