Spode's Willow Pattern

Early Spode Willow Pattern Soup Ladle c1810

Early blue and white ladles are a rarity; because of their purpose and the construction of the handle, few have survived. Soup ladles can reach up to 14 inches and their long elegant handles are particularly vulnerable. This superb Spode ladle in an early willow pattern has survived in remarkable condition considering it's about 200 years old. For more details see Premier Antiques

Clarice Cliff 'Picasso Fruit' or 'Melon'

Clarice Cliff Fantasque Bizarre Orange 'Melon' Havre Bowl c1932

Originally called 'Picasso Fruit' by early collectors, this superb design was subsequently given the name 'Melon'. Introduced in 1930 and produced up to about 1932, the stylised fruit and purple contour lines show great drawing skills. From smaller items such as preserve pots to larger items such as this lovely Havre bowl, the pattern always 'sits' well on these diverse shapes. Difficult to find in good condition, the blue in particular was prone to oxidisation in the kiln. For more details of this stunning bowl visit my website Premier Antiques
