This cheerful group of three penguins is driving me crazy! The maker's mark underneath is too smudgy to read, I can see "Made In England" but...
Thank you for this info, it gives me something to search for. A very quick google search (it's gone 1.30am here, I really should be in bed!),...
Thank you for this! It confirms what I thought about this cup, occupied Japan or a bit later. I must be getting better at this identity guessing...
I have had these two egg cups for a while, assuming they were Chinese export but never being able to find anything which looks quite like them....
Thanks for this. I shall research Davidson and also Sunderland, and see if I can find anything similar. I had a quick look at Davidson, they...
Hi, I actually live in Bristol, and have visited the current Bristol Blue Glass workshop, which I am sure you would love if you are a blue glass...
This little moulded (or pressed?) glass egg cup came in a recent job lot of blue and white porcelain egg cups. It is very poorly finished, the...
Hi, that does sound rather bad, doesn't it, but I have just acquired a large collection of egg cups, and have been trying them out first on the...
Thanks for this. I've looked up Bennington and see that they are in Vermont, whereas I am in the UK, and very little American pottery or china...

I've been getting nowhere on other forums with identifying this old, shabby pottery egg cup with what I take to be sponged blue decoration. It...

I don't think the wood is quite as menacing as Hell, but the path seems to be leading the figure into an uneasy darkness just around the corner....
Thanks for all your thoughts. It seems like we all agree there is some kind of narrative behind this, it isn't just a strange landscape but is...
I see what you mean, that was my period for reading children's books (!), and they did seem to have a limited colour palette, although I think the...
Hi Debora, it is behind glass, and I'm fairly sure it is watercolour on paper. The figure looks like he could be in 18th/19th century dress,...
Glad you like it! It is a bit large to have been used for a book illustration unless a copy was made, it is about 16 inches x 13. But it...
I've just done a quick search for manicure items and come up with a set of three items including a letter opener, they were French, 1950's, and...
Hi, this is quite a long shot, but this painting came with a job lot of paintings a while ago, and the style is so distinctive and confident that...
I hadn't thought of any use apart from little forks, but the very feminine appearance makes this a good idea. I have some mother-of-pearl...
