Furniture

I will be at the next North London Vintage Market at Hornsey Town Hall on 6 June. I am very excited as the venue looks amazing.

As there will be plenty of space in the hall I will have a few larger items for sale including a red formica topped kitchen table, a G-Plan dressing table stool - perfect for a re-upholstery project and an unusual tiled coffee table.

My stall at last month's market

Norwegian Figgjo pottery

I'm always looking out for Scandinavian ceramics for my own collection and I also often have a few items for sale on my stall at the North London Vintage Market. Here is a selection from a market I did last year:

At next weekend's market I'll be selling a couple of nice pieces of Figgjo pottery from my own collection, both in the 'Market' design. This one is a square lidded dish, probably intended for use as a butter dish but it would make quite a useful trinket box for bits and bobs.

Kathie Winkle and Broadhust ceramics

The memorably named Kathie Winkle is one of the most underrated mid-century British ceramic designers. She worked for Broadhurst pottery from 1950 until her retirement in 1992 and was responsible for over 120 designs. We have quite a few pieces in one of Kathie Winkle's earliest designs for Broadhurst which is called 'Petula'.

The later 1960s geometric designs such as this one which is 'Rushtone' are more typical of her work and still very easy to pick up cheaply.

I will be selling these cereal bowls and plate at the North London Vintage Market at the weekend. They are in a design called 'Palma Nova'. Behind these is a teapot in 'Woodland'.

Architectural Rescue

I do love a car boot sale. On a visit to Chiswick car boot last year while rummaging around in a box of junk we uncovered a bundle of architectural drawings, possibly the work of a student or trainee. I think they date from the late 1950s or early 1960s. They weren't in great condition. One of the largest had a big muddy boot print on it!

We have now mounted and framed a couple of the smaller ones, which we are reluctantly selling. They seem to be from a series of studies showing city - possibly London - streets.

T G Green ceramics

Best known for their blue and white striped Cornishware, T G Green produced some updated versions of their classic tableware in the late 1960s with fresh simple designs by Judith Onions.

I'm selling these nice storage jars in cornflower blue and pale lemon yellow with a textured white band around the base and wooded lids.

Another range featured large white spots on a darker blue glaze. Here is a tureen in this design, shown with a couple of Ridgeway cups and saucers.

Vintage market next weekend

I will be at the North London Vintage Market next weekend and it will probably be the last one I can do for a while. It's a two day market this time and I will only be there on the Sunday. Details are below:

Market this weekend

It's the North London Vintage Market again this weekend. I will be selling my usual mix of mid-century ceramics and glass. This time I also have some lovely vintage fabrics, stylish mirrors, a Lloyd Loom laundry basket in great condition and a 1950s tiled coffee table.

I will also have for sale this nice set of five smokey glass shot glasses designed by Per Lutken for Holmegaard Danish glass works.

a hedgehog and some other bits and pieces

Here are a few of the items I will be selling at the next North London Vintage Market:

My stall at the last vintage market

Here are a few photos of my stall at the last market I did in November. I hope to have more of the same and will post a few pictures of new items over the next few days.

Midwinter Queensberry

This is a nice Midwinter soup tureen and bowls, all with matching saucers. The design is Queensberry and it dates from the 1970s.

This is another piece for the market next Saturday
