Breaking Cover — the quieter beat of the same hunt.

Riders easing out of the trees, hounds already away to the left, water and reeds in the foreground. Same Churchill Herring’s Hunt series, same scalloped grey border, a slightly more landscape-led scene than Full Cry.

Full Cry — the moment the field is really running.

This 1980s Churchill plate is taken from Herring’s famous hunt scenes: riders in pinks taking the fence, a fallen huntsman in the grass, the pack stretching away under an English sky. The border is all horns, top hats and little sprays of flowers.

A storied sporting plate for a dresser, a wall, or a table.

Playtime, Barratts of Staffordshire.

A mid-century English teapot in blue transferware — children at a fence, a fiddle, a cottage beyond the trees. The handle carries a small wheat sprig in the same cobalt.

Interior tea staining and a short line at the handle join. The scene is still strong, the mark is clear, and it sits beautifully as a single piece among other blue-and-white.

A little 1970s hostess gift, still in its box.

Eetrite Fleur — 24ct gold plate, floral handle, and that bilingual presentation card. The serving spoon from the pastry sets: soft cake, trifle, Sunday pudding.

Just the sort of piece that makes a tea table feel considered.

A little Portuguese villa, in porcelain.

Vista Alegre’s Villa pattern — cobalt ropes, tassels and corner scrolls on a clean white well. Made in Portugal between 1994 and 2003, and now discontinued. Small enough for olives, soap or jewellery; handsome enough to leave out.

A mid-century Sheffield cake server, still in its gold presentation box.

Lewis Rose & Co, Larko stainless, made for cutting and lifting in one movement. The handle has that quiet English shell-and-scroll work; the blade still carries the original marks.

Not silver. Honest Sheffield steel, boxed as a gift and ready for cake, tart or pavlova.

Ripe Reine Claude plums, winding branches and those soft green leaves — Portmeirion’s Pomona at its prettiest.

This vintage vase carries the Reine Claude Plum design — rich purple fruit, naturalistic foliage and those winding orchard branches Susan Williams-Ellis first gathered from antique fruit illustrations when the collection launched in 1982. Named after Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit trees and gardens, it has all the softness of a country still life.

Lovely filled with fresh flowers, dried stems or a handful of garden foliage. Equally lovely left empty, as a small decorative accent on a sideboard or kitchen counter.

A little piece of century-old German domestic history for your kitchen 🕊️

Crafted between 1883 and 1923 by Steingutfabrik Adolf Heckmann in Annaburg, Germany, this original wall-hanging stoneware box (Wand-Salzbox style) features the word “Mehl” (Flour) in classic Gothic Fraktur script.

Decorated in a deep cobalt blue transferware pattern with its rare, original hinged wooden lid intact—it brings that warm, authentic European farmhouse character to open shelving.

Mid-century hosting done beautifully.

This complete 13-piece British dessert service by Angora features an elegant Art Deco-inspired shell motif and premium silver plating that still holds a brilliant, mirror-like depth.

The cleverest detail? The forks and spoons nest directly together inside their original blue damask presentation box. It’s a gorgeous piece of history ready for its next chapter.

A masterclass in mid-century English ceramic design. ✨

This exceptional Royal Albert coffee pot is crafted in the stately, footed Gainsborough shape and features the highly collectible ‘Chelsea Bird’ pattern—a vibrant design first registered in 1941 (Reg. No. 839184). The exotic fantasy bird vignette is beautifully framed by intricate turquoise scrollwork and brilliant gold gilding.

Finding a premium serving piece from this era in such immaculate condition is an absolute rarity. The porcelain is pristine, the interior is spotless, and the extensive gold trim remains remarkably bright and entirely intact.
