I seem to have acquired an entire fleet of these German salt glazed pitchers. Every time I went out sourcing I seemed to come across another one and I just couldn't stop! There's something about the chunky, rustic grey stoneware and the cobalt blue scrolls that draw me in every time but I have 7 now and I need to stop. Is anyone else guilty of hoarding specific vintage treasures or is it just me?
Three of these are on the website so head over and take a look and if you like a specific one here DM me.

Vintage Belleek.
A quintessential piece of Irish design history.
This isn’t your standard porcelain, this is remarkably thin and translucent with an ethereal glass like quality that catches the light beautifully.
It has the authentic ‘Third Period’ black mark (1926-1946). Perfectly sized for a vanity or bedside table to hold rings, earrings or other precious trinkets.
Deanta in Eirinn.
Available on my website or .boutique

A bit of Vintage German Pottery, always a winner. Beautiful cobalt blue and salt glazed.
I have 5 of these, collected over the last few months, all in great condition and will be on the website tomorrow.

Fun facts about swans. Did you know they can fly to around 27,000 feet, almost as high as Everest.
Also, contrary to the idea that they mate for life, they do actually have a 6% divorce rate. If they aren't able to have cygnets, they just go their seperate ways and look for another partner!
These 2 beauties are available on the website or drop me a line here.

Had to use a fair bit of the old elbow grease on this in the end but didn't it shine up well?
Antique silver plated Bon Bon dish made by the Alexander Clarke Company, London. Made with Welbeck plate, considered to be one of the finest silver plates of the time, used in posh hotels and even posher homes. These were used at the table to serve bon-bons, sweethearts or small cakes etc.

Often a difficult question for me. This piece is absolutely filthy so will be cleaned before listing. Silver often looks best cleaned up to my eye. Let me know your thoughts. Do you like it with a natural worn patina or newly cleaned and bright?

I was reminded of this mandolin over Easter which used to belong to my Dad, a musician of sorts who seems to have passed the musical gene onto my youngest son I had the idea to create a scene to showcase the beauty of a set of six antique Georgian Bristol Green Wine Glasses donated by my big sister to help pay for Ellis's PhD studies.
Swipe left for more photos of said utterly gorgeous glasses which are an exquisite set in pristine condition, with that deep emerald hue that catches beautifully in candlelight. Circa 1820-1850.
They are available now on my website, Ebay and .boutique.
I am open to genuine offers.
