Antique and vintage items make nicer than new gifts


Item 

Myott and Son (est 1898), in the heart of England's Potteries District, is one of the great names in Art Deco innovation in the 1930s through its use of vibrant freehand colour and extravagant shapes.

For those who love Myott's gorgeous geometric vases, especially the fan shape, we are listing a much less common 12 pc breakfast set. In the best traditions of Myott's Art Deco pedigree, it features a flamboyant abstract design in yellow, green and a pinky-brown with the artist's carefree brushstrokes clearly visible.

The set comprises a round plate with places for five egg cups; four square side plates, a long serving plate; and a round pedestal serving plate.

We considered splitting up the items into three listings, but decided that it was so rare to find a complete set in such good condition that we decided to keep them together.

However, please note that we also have two small matching vases in the same pattern, which we are listing separately.

Condition

All our items are pre-owned and usually range between 10 and 210 years old, so they inevitably (and reassuringly) show some signs of age and use, which we always do our best to reflect in our pictures. 

This set will be around 90 years old and thus approaching formal antique status so it has survived remarkably well. We cannot see any chips or cracks. All we can find is a tiny graze on the inside rim of one of the eggs cups and there is the usual light crazing in the glaze, mostly noticeable on the white underside of the pieces.

We also thought there might be some wear to the decoration towards the centre of two of the small plates because there are a few small white areas, but they are under the glaze so we assume they're simply parts of the plates the brush missed?

Pricing


Whenever possible our asking prices are based on either our knowledge of the genre and rareness or on what similar pieces have been sold for on the international market, rather than what some sellers are asking, which are usually two very different things! 

 

You will normally find that our prices sit somewhere in the middle between auction and professional dealer prices and the current market. We are always willing to consider realistic offers, but please bear in mind that this set comprises 12 pieces.
