A particularly fine Victorian Wedgwood majolica sweetmeat dish, produced in England during the latter part of the 19th century.

Arthur Wood Nasturtium and Spider Web Jug Vase, c.1930s
£49.00
At first glance, this looks like one of the cheerful floral jugs produced by the Staffordshire potteries during the 1930s. Then the spider’s web comes into view. Three orange-red nasturtiums fill the upper section, painted with green leaves over peach lustre. Below them, a platinum-lustre web stretches across the warm cream body. It is this unex...

1970s SylvaC Harmony Green Glazed Planter Bowl
£35.00
Not everything from the 1970s has aged well. This has. The low oval shape, glossy olive-green glaze and oversized spiral decoration are unapologetically retro, but the effect is graphic rather than kitsch. Deep green gathers around the raised pattern, giving it real depth, while the smoother sections at either end prevent the design from becomin...

Pair of Tjipaganti Bandung Indonesian Art Pottery Ewers, Mid-Century Modern, c. 1950s–1960s
£395.00
A striking companion pair of mid-century Tjipaganti ceramic ewers from Bandung, Indonesia, dating from the 1950s–60s. They are not matching ewers in the usual sense. The shape, palette and brushwork clearly belong together, but the illustrations are very different on each piece. I think that is what makes them more interesting — they work togeth...

Arthur Wood Nasturtium and Spider Web Jug Vase, c.1930s
£58.00
A cheerful bunch of nasturtiums would have been perfectly respectable decoration for a 1930s jug. Arthur Wood added a spider's web. Picked out in platinum lustre against the warm cream body, the web turns Pattern 3123 from a conventional floral into something witty and faintly peculiar. Above it, orange-red flowers and green leaves are painted ...

£125.00
These two Victorian majolica plates are deeply moulded with overlapping hop, vine and strawberry leaves, curling stems and clusters of fruit, finished with a softly scalloped edge.
