Sunday 10 July 2011

Found in the last few seconds of injury time.

I found this one today at the Elsecar Antiques Centre just north of Sheffield. There's a small fair that's held at the heritage centre next door on Sunday's once every month.  After going round the stalls at the fair and walking through most of the Antiques Centre, I finally came across this vase was sitting in very the last cabinet.The vase is 5 inches high, shape number 959, the pattern is JV and it was painted by Winifred Collett in the first half of the 1930's.   Its not the rarest pattern but I really like its jazzy look and its quite unusual to find it painted on a pot as big as this.
