a wonderfull transfer in sort of two colours.I cant decide if its a 2 colour print or just the effects of ageing.

   Jeroboam "The Royal Blend"Scotch whiskey crock.One of the more common whisky crocks,
Fairly sought after nontheless.

 Another whisky this time Scottish,again another more common variety but what a transfer!.  

   Stone flagon (honeyglaze) from yhe firm of W.Coates
who were located at 24-25 Whitechapel London.

   Singletons eye ointment.This vessel is stood on a small foot which the user held,whilst the small depression on the top held the ointment,which in turn was covered by a small circle of greaseproof paper.
The idea being that the user gathered a small amount of ointment on the paper and applied it to the eyes.

   Pie funnels,the transfered one reads "The Grimwade perfection pie funnel pat no
12833/08-reg no 543211 with verge on top to prevent slipping".

from our house,unmarked in the barn,the Fullham from an excavation when building new steps in the garden.The largest is approx 24" high.No idea as to contents of either,largest possibly ale or cider(on account of bunghole).(He said bunghole huh huh huh-beavis and butthead anyone?).

   VIROL 6" These are quite common and as you can see contained bone marrow.c1910 available in 3 sizes,this being the middle size.

 

 Bass in bottle match striker dates to around 1925-30,made by the Minton works.

   I dug this recently and believe it to be a Ginger jar(but dont quote me)c1900.

 Rock Blue was a laundry compound,made from around 1860 through to the first quarter of the 20th centuary(when it came in a cardboard box)This one predates 1904 as there is no mention of king Edward(as on the later examples.
