With thoughts turning to garden enhancement at this time of year a large bronzed metal water feature could make an impressive statement. It is modelled in the form of a young woman pouring from a large pot to feed a thirsty ram. It carries the signature of S. Gothin, dated 1969. The overall height is 63” & bids in the region of £250/350 are anticipated.

The silversmiths Sampson Mordan & Co. are well known fortheir quirky silverware, although they first came to prominence for earlydesigns of propelling pencils. Carrying their hallmarks for Chester 1905 are acharming pair of owl menu holders with enamelled eyes standing on disc bases.They stand 1 ¼” high & have an estimate of £80/120.

Also in the silver section is a silver fish slice by Robert Wallis dated London 1842. Known for his flatware he first registered a mark at Goldsmiths Hall in 1836. It has pierced bright cut decoration with a central fish motif. It is 12” long & weighs 122 grammes & invites bids of £60/80.

The Troika pottery factory was established at Wheal Dream St. Ives in Cornwall in 1962. The name derives from the Russian for set of 3, reflecting its three founders.

A 10” vase bearing her monogram is of shouldered bottle form with a dark turquoise ground and central disc & linear band decoration. It is priced at £95/110.

Glass epergnes were much in favour in the late 19^th & early 20^th Century as dining table centrepieces to hold displays of flowers or fruit. An example in shaded blue Vaseline glass has a tall central flute & 3 smaller lower flutes above a bowl shaped base, all with frilled borders. It stands a total height of 19 ¾” & asks £120/150.

With the easing of lockdown we are happy to welcome people to view in the saleroom, but will be keeping our booking system with timed slots so that you can view in comfort without feeling crowded. On entering the saleroom we do still require face covering & fresh gloves due to the multiple handling of the lots- we would rather stick to the safest methods possible for the sake of both customers & staff alike.

We will be continuing with the timed auctions for the foreseeable future- it is impossible to predict when “normal” auctions could safely resume.
