English H&K Tunstall Pottery

tunstall tunstall tunstall tunstall tunstall

There is a strong collecting interest in hand-painted H&K Tunstall pieces from the Art Deco era in England. They are sometimes called "Poor Man's Moorcroft" but we feel they are well able to stand alone and need not be compared.

The first photo, plate on far left, is item PO175. It is a 10" plate in purple, black and white featuring pansies and it is $ 95.

The second plate also shows pansy flowers. It is about 9" across, is inventoried as item PO102 and is SOLD.

The third plate shows the "autumn tint" leaves pattern. It is item PO174 and is $ 95.

The cup and saucer also features the "autumn tints" pattern. It is item PO115 and is now SOLD.

The fourth platter without rim has a pleasing octagon shape. The green backstamp on this piece is faint and blurred, but quite recognizable as H&K. There is a design number on the back as well. The platter measures 11" across. This is item # PO351 priced at $ 95.

Here is a pretty, country Victorian milk jug in English "print and tint" transferware. Note the simple country flowers, bee and basketweave at the base of the jug which gives such charm. The jug is in excellent condition and is large enough for the family's milk or a big bunch of flowers. The Registration Number dates this piece to the 1880's.

bodley1 bodley2 bodley4 bodley5

Here is a 19th. Century English majolica dessert set consisting of a serving plate and six other individual plates. The set is absolutely gorgeous and in excellent condition.

The set was made by the Burslem firm Bodley in about 1870, as indicated by the impressed registration diamond on the back of each piece. Certainly the aesthetic design in the Japanese taste confirms the date.

The design consists of a "napkin" motif on candy pink basketweave background. Each plate has a different hand-painted floral design with bees and butterflies as well. They are finished off with a neat gold-banded border.

The plates measure about 9.5" across. The server has a removable silver or silver-plate (no marks) handle and pedestal.



1960's Poole Pottery - Item # P082 - $ 85

poole1 poole2 poole3

Here is a retro bowl from the Poole pottery in England, dating from the 1960's. The design is similar to, and possibly is, the Delphis line of artist painted pots. This pot has an interesting ivory, rough textured exterior, which sets off the vibrant reds of the interior.

There is one pin-head size white spot on the red surface which is underglaze and present from the original manufacture.

Canadian Pottery Fish - Item PO429 - $ 30

Here is a great mid-century Canadian Pottery fish. He measures about 30 cm long and is about 20 cm high. He is very thin from side to side. Check out his cute smile. He was likely made by Evangeline (a typical glaze coloration and light red clay base), but we would value any opinions.

For the Blue Mountain Pottery collector who has everything, we offer just one more! This pair of mocha table lamps are rare and desirable. They stand about 25" high to the tops of the lamp shades. The ceramic bases are 14" high and about 10" wide. The form of the base has a very satisfying proportion and pagoda-like shape.

Also available in the Blue Mountain range are tall cat and dog figurines, green dolphin, small elephant, deer, small duck, bowls and pitchers, and a couple of pieces of Country Charm bakeware.



WEST GERMAN POTTERY

West Germany pottery from the 1960's is, in our opinion, a real sleeper. Of good quality and design, it fits well with the resurgence in retro decor, and is reasonably priced. One of these large pots can make a sufficient statement alone in a room, that you don't need much else in the way of accessories.

Note that these large hollow pots are not amenable to shipping. Please enquire for options.

West Germany Vases - priced individually below

westgerm westgerm westgerm


Item # PO109 is a floor vase or perhaps umbrella stand which stands just over 20" high. It is in a pleasant avocado green with decorative molding. A lovely and impressive piece, priced at $95.

Item # PO196 is an attractive pot in a speckled matte glaze. It measures 15" high by about 8" wide and would fit comfortably into any decor. It is priced at $75.

Item # PO280 flaunts its retro 1970's origin in the flower power theme on both flat sides of the pot. It measures 16.5" high x about 6.5" wide and is priced at $65.

West German Ceramic Lamp with Horse - Item # TF165 - $ 85

wglamp wglamp


Here is a West German ceramic lamp base with a red, stylized, Picasso-like horse. The base pottery is the 1970's lava matte glaze while the red horse is glossy. The horse motif really pops! We have replaced the old wiring in the lamp with electrical components which conform to current standards.

This is a large table lamp which would be expensive to ship.

Huge West German Pot - Item # P0444 - $ 125

bigpot

This huge West German pot should stand alone as an art piece. It measures about 49 cm (19") high at the top of the handle and is about 14" across. It is heavy and cannot be shipped. Truly amazing how the skilled potters of the 1970's can form and fire a pot of this size without damage.



Mushroom Vase or Candle Holder - Item # P0430 - $ 45

mushroom mushroom mushroom

We know nothing about this low vase or candle holder other than that it is extremely cool. The signature is provided in photo 3 and we would love to know more about it. The vase appears to be Danish, probably from the 1960's or 1970's when many pottery pieces gave the nod to the Art Nouveau period.



SylvaC Pixie Posy Bowl - Item # P03 - $ 48

Posy

Here is a cute and collectible little SylvaC posy bowl in matte brown with a green pixie looking on. Measures about 6 inches in diameter, slightly oval in shape. Marked SylvaC on the base. It is in good condition generally. There is one very small hairline on the inside of the bowl lip only, which cannot be seen from the outside. These stress marks happen during firing and in most cases, do not change thereafter and do not affect the value or beauty of the piece.



Large English Serving Platter - Item # PO26 - $145

ching1 ching2

We offer a blue willow style pattern, flow blue style, oval, English platter, measuring 16.5" long x 12.5" wide, fine for display on your buffet and useful for serving food for special occasions.
