I don't know how to describe this jar thing, have tried lidded jar and all sorts, can't find one exactly the same shape. Dunno if it has a name or just jar...the blue is lovely but the painting isn't very accurate It's 4 ish inches xx I usually leave candlesticks as they are everywhere but some brass madness made me grab these...how old are they ? The under is very clean so might be quite new Thy are 6 inches ish x x I had to get this as it was 50p and couldn't help myself This one is approx ten inches I also go this for ten p! I was thrilled! This is why I was so pleased! This is my usual standard of joss stick holder I have so so so much more too, have had great weekends x x x
Great finds, Bou. The jar looks a bit like gaudy Welsh ware, probably inspired by something like that. The candlesticks are boutiful, love the style, sort of Regency style. Others will give a much better answer on those. The joss stick holder looks like leopard skin jasper. I am sure it is more stable than the poor banana.
Thank you my lovely! Off to look at leopard skin jasper,I have a penchant for leopard print and it fits right in xx xxx
The oval based candlesticks look like late 20th and the square based one could be late Victorian to early Edwardian.
Thank you xxx The smaller ones are a different colour to the (many ) others I have, sort of more copperyxx
I'd agree the oval ones are newish. I think the square based one may be older than Victorian though, possibly 1820s or 30s. The jar looks French to me, that blue and the glaze colour.
Whoahh, bou-tiful harvest, as AJ said The jar has the same shape as a Stilton pot/jar, and in French Alsace, they use the same for foie gras! Yummm
Those oval bits may be new, but they're pretty. Your incense holder definitely needed to be replaced; it looks to be attracting fruit flies!
I’d hazard a guess that the jar held some foodstuff like a cheese or condiment — fancy packaging, you know, with a container that you can use after you’ve eaten whatever was in it. Probably made within the last 20 years or so.
I have that pair of oval brass candle sticks! I bought them new in the mid 1980s in a gift shop where I was working
Kyra that does make utter sense,it has that feel now you mention it, it's like something my Gran would have put in her larder. x x x
No flies! Not even sure there is any flesh left in the banana, it goes all yukkity after a day or so and has to be changed and the flesh seems to just go :O xxx I no longer have that problem, I have a posh ( for me) holder at last!
