I would cover my costs. A pottery frog, Japanese glass paper weight, minature Bambis and a cat. I quite like the frog its the first one that I have seen. Cheers Billy

I also got a Clarice Cliff vase from the dump shop for 50c to bad it has got a couple of old chips in it but no hairlines. Indian tree is the pattern not very popular, its 20cm high so a good size I will probably list it for a $1 and see where it goes. The PPP vase is before the pottery changed their name to Remued.

The cat at the left back is worth ten bucks, I reckon. What a good buy.
Mon, PPP in this case is Premier Potteries Preston. Pre-Remued, in other words. Very Nice.

I think the vase is lovely, Billy. Well done on all of them!
My "roll" continues, it seems - although this is missing its music box and has 2 shortish hairlines, but no chips - it wasn't quite as cheap as the canisters but not a lot more. I think the seller in the antique centre wasn't aware of what it was. Now, of course, I don't want to sell it, either lol!
cheers

Rae, great jug I like it when you go somewhere like that and get something that the seller doesn't know what it is. I got these today but I don't know if they are Darbyshire I have been trying to look for a photo to say otherwise. Funny scracthed in face on the lady and her head has been off at some stage. Cheers Billy

Hi Guys,
Yes they are Darbyshire and even with a broken neck they are a very good buy.
Nice one Rae you are becoming a Diana collector like myself :-x.
I am still sitting on the fence about the canisters and who made them. I got another email from my friend who originally bought Jenny's set for another collector and he is going to go in and look at them and tell us if one is marked or not !!
Then we will at least be clear on that point and also put Jenny's mind at ease. I honestly hope that there is proof there,
Cheers,
Pip
