PAIR OF GEORGIAN STYLE SILVER PLATED HEAVY CANDELABRA – VINTAGE Item #60643
A pair of silver plated candelabra in the Goergian style with heavily weighted bases. Detachable wax drip pans. Both are gleaming silver with some slight wear/copper bleed etc. Close up the plating is finely pinprick spotted, but from a short distance you cant see this and they look great on a dining table etc. General wear to underside baise. GBP49.99
PAIR OF ANTIQUE c. 12 inch SILVER PLATED ON COPPER CANDLESTICKS Item #60644
A pair of tall silver plated on copper candlesticks in the Georgian style. Both overall gleaming silver with some slight copper bleed mainly evident at the plinths. One plinth has a spilt at its seam join area to edge (see photos) and this stick has some general knocks but still looks ok. Some wear to baise. GBP34.99
UNUSUAL COPELAND SPODE BREAKFAST CRUET SET BONE CHINA ROSES ANTIQUE c. 1900 Item #60645
A quite intriguing & quirky late Victorian/Edwardian period piece by Copeland. We can only presume it was intended for serving scrambled eggs on toast or similar. Comprises a lidded ‘coupe’ type bowl, a toast rack, pepper pot and open salt pot, all pieces having their own recesses in the base plate. Not come across another piece like this before. Generally good but there are some imperfections in the glaze (from manufacture) especially evident to the toast rack & exterior of the salt pot on one area, and some fine ‘egg-shell’ glaze crazing here and there. The pepper pot filling aperture has historical damage which has been smoothed down and a now has a tight fitting cork bung (you need a watch screwdriver or similar to remove it for filling). GBP49.99
