New items for sale on Ebay

After a long break from selling for Christmas and New Year, I have listed my first items of 2011, including a nice retro 1950s Foley dish found in York, a Denby 'Arabesque' lidded pot bought in Highgate, some Viners cutlery and a lovely Picknick egg cup which I was very tempted to keep for myself.

Here are some photos...

St Judes in the City: an exhibition at the Bankside Gallery

Last week I went to this exhibition of printmaking, collage, fabric and illustration held at the Bankside Gallery. Unfortunately I got caught in a huge downpour while on my way there from work and was rather damp and bedraggled by the time I arrived but was very glad to have seen the exhibition which included some beautiful prints. Here is the flyer for the exhibition..

  
This is the print I purchased, its a screenprint of a poster designed by Jonny Hannah for an exhibition at the Cecil Higgins Gallery in Bedford.

Cathrine Holm enamelware

Here is a photo of a new addition to my collection of Cathrine Holm enamel pans and kitchenware items. I love these pans - beautiful yet functional..

Here are some images I found online of Cathrine Holm items.. one day my collection will hopefully be like this...

New fishy Picknick pot

I was very pleased to find this new addition to my collection of Rorstrand Picknick ceramics. It differs in shape from the fruit and veg pots and has a fish design outlined in black over a thick blue band in the middle with further bands at the top and bottom. But it has the same distinctive lid and the fish motif also appears on the large Picknick tray..

Dartington glass

This week on ebay I am selling some nice functional examples of Dartington Glass. The 'Daisy' bowls came in a range of sizes, the boxed ones are the smallest. They have a lovely frosted appearance. Despite their 'Flower Power' looks I think they were actually designed in the 1980s.

I am also selling some Dartington sweetcorn dishes which I think date from the 1970s.. I love the cute little forks that come with these..

Vintage tiles

Here are two vintage tiles that I bought this morning at the Alexandra Palace antiques fair. The round one was designed by Ann Wynn Reeves and the square one is by Alan Wallwork.

Briglin Pottery mugs

Here are two nice Briglin mugs in a lovely subtle blue grey glaze which I am selling on ebay this week.

I recently discovered a good website all about Briglin pottery. Here is the address...
