Antique Rockingham - treacle glaze stoneware spirit flask - bottle in the shape of a MERMAID. Fairly common years back, but I have not seen many lately. Must all be in collections.
Has an appearance of Queen Victoria and her veil. There is a small chip on the front of the cork mouth. Last collector has put wire around the top to hang it from a hook on a wall.
c1840-70 era.
Has no other issues apart from the front chip off the lip. It of course has small scuffs and rubs on the back surface from being laid down and picked up over the years.
It is 7 and a 1/4 inch long overall x 4 inch wide at the shoulders x just over 2 and a 1/2 inch at the deepest part. It weighs approx. 300 grams.
I would prefer folks to COLLECT such items really. Buy it now and the cash on collection when you pick it up by appointment at my store. I can have my courier deliver for you as well which is approx. £70.
I am also happy for you to arrange a courier to come here and collect from me. They will have to be able to WRAP / BOX the item for the safe journey to you whilst in their hands as this is part of any their courier service.
