Moving right along the mantlepiece, (I have mentioned it is very long), we have a small green ashtray from the 1924 Wembley Exhibition in London, with the exhibition logo of a Lion in each corner. Next a very tall jug, decorated with dogs all around, dates from 1880s and the artist was Miss Hanah Barlow. Next is a very funny chap, a drowning sailor, with his wet head thru a life ring, with the words SAVED on it. Made in about the 1920s.
Finally a stoneware London River Thames advertising barge boat, from about 1900/1910.
All are made by Doulton at Lambeth in London and form part of Vic's Doulton Stoneware collection.
I'm joining up with
Estelle at Fortune Favours... where she shows some of her collectables on the Mantlepiece every Monday (I'm just a slow starter).
I also managed to cook a wonderfully yummy Bread and Butter Marmalade Pudding this week.
almost overcooked it, but Vic thought it was wonderful♥
The dog jug looks very interesting, thanks for sharing! and Yum! Your bread and butter pudding looks delish. My mum makes that best in the world served hot with vanilla icecream, but I bet yours would give it a run for the money.
ReplyDeleteLovely mantle and pudding too...I loooove Bread and Butter pudding Lyndel (especially with marmalade) unfortunately no-one else in this house does so I rarely make it otherwise I would scoff the whole lot!

We love bread and butter pudding too, but it is on the 'no no' list now...got to steer away from anything with butter. It clogs up the arteries, so they tell us. Ken's the one with the heart problem, not me, but it wouldn't be fair on him for me to continue cooking and eating all the goodies, while serving up boring wholesome food to him - ha!
