Royal Doulton Nursery Ware 'Pip, Squeak and Wilfred'

Royal Doulton Daily Mirror 'Pip, Squeak and Wilfred' Mug c1930

Based on the Daily Mirror comic strip, this charming Royal Doulton series was only in production from 1927 to 1935. Featuring Pip the dog, Squeak the penguin and Wilfred the rabbit created by Uncle Dick (B J Lamb) and drawn by A B Payne. This rare children's mug shows scene four of five 'Hullo Popski and Auntie - going to join the Gugnuncs?'. The name 'Gugnunc' came about because Wilfred spoke only in baby talk and 'gug' and 'nunc' were his favourite words. The Gugnunc club was formed and held parties and an annual rally at the Royal Albert Hall, raising funds for children’s hospitals and charities. For more details see Premier Antiques

Carlton Ware Yellow 'Primula' Cruet c1939

Carlton Ware produced the green and yellow Primula ranges just before and just after the Second World War. The war stopped production of 'luxury' items, which perhaps explains why this pretty design isn't seen as often as some others. Here is a lovely yellow cruet which is quite a rarity. For this and a selection of Primula see my website Premier Antiques
