Two stylised vintage pottery owls... just listed the large white owl - he is by #waltercole for #ryepottery and is a 1960s original version. 🦉

I’ll be listing this beautiful Whitefriars/Caithness glass #butterflypaperweight tomorrow. It’s numbered 99/250 and has a date cane for 1982. It uses Whitefriars’ #millifiori canes but the factory closed in 1980 I believe, so #caithnessglass finished the production. Or something like that 😊

Another day, another antique fair! Ardingly this time. Quite crowded, but sparse on stalls. And it was freezing again!! Got a few nice bits to show in due course . 😊
But now I’m in the wrong place at the wrong time and have gone to do school pick up an hour early rather than go home 🏡

It was a freezing (1 degree C) and foggy Detling Antique Fair this morning. But busy and worthwhile… so nice to get out hunting for new stuff! 😊

But the way, anyone else’s grid photos on their page turned from lovely square photos to horrible portrait photos? They’ve ruined it. All my pics are square 😒

Fabulous #kennethtownsend for #idenpottery his and hers money boxes; crazy cat lady and hippy guitar dude. 1970s studio pottery from round my way... Kenneth Townsend was also known for his quirky and fun illustrations for Hornsea Pottery, Chance Glass and Galt games. 😸🎸

Intruder on the photo mat! 😸
Tall, slim and elegant #scheurichkeramik #westgermanvase coming to my Etsy page (hopefully) tomorrow.
Cat (Princess Willow) was restless and attention seeking today. 😻

A bit of classic mid century modernist design today, the lovely Robert Welch Old Hall Campden design. I have two variations on my Etsy, an early version with curved handles and an early stamp, and this more familiar version.

My green ‘for sale’ storage shelf… I store my glass and ornaments on colour-separated shelving so I know instantly where to look for something.
But right now it’s all looking a bit sad and bare after Christmas. I must go hunting for new things !!!

Found a large Empoli bottle stopper in the charity shops today (but not much else). I’m trying to hold back any spending until Detling and Ardingly antique fairs in a few weeks 🙌
We had a couple of inches of snow overnight, it’s freezing here! ❄️❄️❄️

It was my birthday just before Christmas so I treated myself to a #briglincat (which I’d always wanted), and a #bernardbuffet print and book. The book looks great but is far too long and wordy for my attention span 😂
