Featured Shorter and Son England vase

So happy to be thrifting again! Found this on my first foray out, a good addition to my vintage English pottery collection. Not their usual majolica or toby jug stuff. Mark is c. 1905-33. It’s a nice reminder of last year‘s enjoyable trip to Stoke on Trent and the potteries. Not worth much but I love it! I even treated myself to a cheap bouquet.
(Sorry, I forgot to clean off the thrift store’s black marker on the base.)

 

What a lovely treat - vase & flowers both! And colors harmonize so well. Not sure about that red carnation, but...why not.

 

What a lovely shape! Well found.

 

Looks great with those flowers too! Well coordinated!

(With the bit of crazing you might keep an eye that it doesn't weep on the bottom and damage the wood table.)

 

A bit of red for some pop! (Carnation came with the bouquet.)

Thanks!

Been keeping it on a cork mat with no weeping.

 

Hah! I just noticed that all the screws are aligned on the outlet covers in the background!!

 

Hey, perfection!

 

Well, I had to go looking and now I am coveting this one, too, but I will not even consider paying $50 US (including shipping) when I paid only 10% of that for mine. I'm a cheapskate!

 

I certainly can be a bit of a perfectionist at times but I don't even remember doing that! (And I know it was me because I replaced all the outlet covers when I moved in in 2012.)

 

If you weren't a perfectionist by nature, I'm sure your profession has made you one.

 

I love the vase, you choose well.

 

A little OCD??????

 

NOPE.....You're JUST SMART & FRUGAL!!!!!!!
