What’s the story?
This sweet tea bowl would be at home in any room, as a decorative object or a small place for small things. Made by renowned pottery studio, Briglin, it was founded by two women, Brigitte Goldsmith and Eileen Mawson in the 1960s. It's expertly thrown and glazed, hand-painted with an abstract, pale blue bamboo pattern on both sides.

A pretty, little jug for cream, posies or dry stems. It's adorned with an abstract dragon fly motif, synonymous with Andrew Hague. Variations on this theme can be found throughout his work from Askrigg Pottery, his studio where much of his work is produced. We love the colour palette of this piece with bands of blues and greens on a pale base.

Unmistakably midcentury, this smart, little teapot is the perfect styling piece for a retro kitchen or vintage country cottage look. Made by renowned pottery studio, Briglin, it was founded by two women, Brigitte Goldsmith and Eileen Mawson in the 1960s. This teapot is beautifully rendered. These are complex pieces to throw with various elements - spout, lit, handle holes - that require a high level of expertise. We love how the original cane handle loops through and is held in place.

What’s the story?
This little mid-century ceramic is such a sweetie. We love its small, round-bellied form, perfect for a single dramatic bloom or seed head. This may well be Welsh in origin, an Abaty Cymru studio pottery piece as the hand-rendered circular motifs were a signature design of this period. it does have a potter's stamp but we've been unable to attribute it definitively. Beautifully thrown with a speckled glaze finish.

There's a very good chance this is an Abaty Cymru studio pottery piece, as the round swirl motif is seen on many vases, jugs and bowls from there. A well-thrown, medium-sized vase with handpainted circles within circles of brown glaze in a band around its body. It's chunky and substantial, in great original order and full of vintage character.

What’s the story?
Not all midcentury West German pottery pieces are equal in our view but we love the simple elegance, colour and design of this particular piece. Weighty and large enough to be set on the floor, we love the exaggerated roundness of the handle and the texture of the speckle glaze. It's topped and tailed in a chocolate brown which vignettes into pale cream in between.

From a different time, these old-fashioned stoneware bottles were once filled with hot water and used to warm your feet or the bed. It’s the original hot water bottle used from Victorian times through to the fifties until rubber ones came along. This large three pint bottle was made by Royal Doulton and comes nicely decorated. There are some knocks and chips primarily around the carry handle but they only add to its authentic appeal in our view. Ideal for the country cottage core or Victoriana look, they are interesting, decorative pieces for styling your home and make excellent door stops and bookends.

There is great deal to love about this European, midcentury, ceramic wall plaque. It hails from San Marino, dates from the fifties and we believe it is by produced by SAM. Illustrating a bustling Chinese street scene, it's full of life, movement and colour. And the colours are extraordinary, vivid and bright. The various characters depicted have so much character without becoming cartoonish. They're superbly drawn. The background has an unusual textured, bubbled surface, further adding to its appeal. Our favourite thing... the two angry roosters in the man's basket on his back. On the reverse, thread is cleverly looped through the pottery slab for hanging.

This large, vintage decorative glass jar works well as a floor-standing piece. An unusual find because of its XL scale, it’s hand-blown as there are wobbles and irregularities across its surfaces. A great accent piece that will add a dose of green vintage charm to a room. Its wide mouth lends itself to long-stemmed foliage and flowers.
