Davidson's Cloud Glass

The Gateshead glasshouse of George Davidson began producing Cloud Glass in 1923 and it was an important range which continued up to 1939 and the outbreak of war. Created by adding trails of darker molten glass to a lighter colour and then pressing into a mould, different colours were introduced over the years. Sometimes given a satin finish, this was achieved by making a paste with sulphuric acid and applying it to the glass. See my collection at Premier Antiques

Davidson's Cloud Glass

Victorian Aesthetic Movement Majolica

19th century majolica producers were quick to develop wares which captured the new Aesthetic Movement style of the 1870s. After a period of seclusion, Japan was again opening up to trade with the west and Japanese taste began to heavily influence domestic design and the Aesthetic Movement grew out of this. Here we have a fantastic jug with sprays of blossom on a stippled and oriental weave background. Bright majolica colours of pink, turquoise and cream, together with an unusual shaped handle, make a very striking item. For more majolica, visit Premier Antiques

Shelley Maytime Chintz

Introduced by Shelley in the 1930s, Maytime has sprays of apple blossom and buds in white and pink with green leaves and pale brown branches. A delicate and distinctive chintz. For more Shelley see my website Premier Antiques

Shelley Mabel Lucie Attwell

In 1926 Shelley commissioned the children's book illustrator Mabel Lucie Attwell to design a range of nursery ware. She had recently published a number of books featuring small elves in green suits which she called 'Boo Boos'. These, together with her classic chubby faced children, became the themes portrayed on plates, mugs, dishes and even children's potties. Accompanied by a few lines of verse and each piece with a facsimile signature, they have now become very collectable. For a good selection visit Premier Antiques
