This paper holder was made for holding the boxes of Izal toilet paper sheets. It is plain white and has an ashtray moulded on the top with dents for ones cigarette at each end.

Ref: 304298

This is a very neat and attractive manicure set, I think it dates from the mid 1930’s to mid 1940’s.

COILED PAPER BOWLS WITH LIDS. Ref: 304260

Adapted from a traditional basket-making technique, these bowls are made with recycled posters from a printing company. Artisans form the paper into flat strips, dip them in a glue mixture and hang them to dry. After this they re-wet the strips and coil them into a bowl form. The strips are held together with the glue, forming a sturdy bowl.
I believe they were made in Vietnam.
They are very sturdy and strong, but must be used for dry storage only. The smaller one stacks neatly inside the larger one.

The largest measures 6 1/2 “ / 16.5 cm tall
6 3/4 “ / 17 cm diameter
The smaller measures 4 1/2 “ / 11.5 cm tall

1960’s PLASTIC EGG CUP
REF: 304275

This single egg cup from the 1960’s is quite an iconic shape when an egg is placed in the cup.
It then looks like a space ship ready for take off, the design with the three legs makes it very stable to use too.
It has had a lot of use and the condition reflects this as it’s a bit scuffed and scruffy but in a good way !!

THE CITY OF LONDON COAT OF ARMS BADGE.
REF: 304270

This chrome ewer bears the City of London coat of arms on a badge on the centre front of the vessel. It reads DOMINE DIRGE NOS and then LONDON underneath, it translates as “LORD DIRECT US” which is the motto for the city of London.
At each side of the handle there is a ballerina posing, plus some other patterning on the top half of the jug. The bottom half has a hammered/ dimpled appearance to it.
There are no makers markings on the ewer, it looks as though the inside has a copper coating.
There is some pitting to the chrome which is mainly under the handle area.
I have no idea about it’s age at all, and did wonder if it could have been given as a prize at a girls school or dancing school. If anybody has any information about this item I would really like to hear from you, please contact me.

It doesn’t have a makers mark on, but does say made in England on the spoon.

A SET OF 3 FLYING SWALLOWS 1930’s Ref: 304297

This is a set of three flying swallows, they are made from metal and are unusually decorated with the base colour painted first then striped with two additional colours. I have only seen sets that are of one base colour only and mainly plain green or pale blue.
This set does have some very minor chips on the paint in a few places, but considering their age they have survived very well. A great collectors set from the 1930’s.
