Rare Art Deco Beswick “Sundial” – Queen Mary – Relief Moulded Teapot and Stand – 0000444

Price: £59.99

A right Royal cuppa! This stunning Art Deco Beswick teapot in the “Sundial” pattern dates circa the 1930′s and is a beautifully made piece. With a skilful relief moulded floral rose bush backing on to a detailed stone wall on both sides and hand-painted in foxgloves in vibrant colours on one face. Most gorgeous, is the sundial lid which is in perfect condition and finishes off this striking Art Deco piece brilliantly. The base reads “SUNDIAL” “as purchased by H.M.Queen Mary” “Reg’d 828924” and the impressed numbers “579” and “Made in England”. Please note that there is no Beswick marks and that this is common with this series.

The teapot measures approximately 15cm high (to the top of the sundial finial) and 20.5cm from spout to the elegant geometric handle. The condition of the teapot is very good overall, with one unfortunate but old and repairable chip to one corner of the hexagonal rim. However, a rare inclusion in this set is the original lawn-like teapot stand. A real bonus as this is the complete set and this part is often broken or lost altogether.

A beautiful display piece that would look fab in any vintage teapot or Beswick collection! A real rare talking piece.

This cool diecast comes with its original box, which is in good condition with some wear to the corners and a couple of creases.

Overall, a fantastic collectable boxed original Matchbox diecast model.

Vintage Art Deco 1950’s “Beswick” Hand-Painted Red and Gold Pinstriped Butter Dish – 0000501

For the butter lovers and retro pickers out there. This lovely retro butter dish is decorated and a typical timeless deco design with thin hand-painted delicate pinstripes red and gold as accenting.

This does not affect the overall appearance of the butter dish. Still very lovely indeed.
