SILVER PLATED CASTLE TURRET TABLE CIGAR LIGHTER W&H A very unusual vintage table cigar/cigarette lighter by Walker & Hall of Sheffield in the form of a castle turret. We are not quite sure how it works but it is filled with lint and the top section which has a narrow aperture unscrews, so presumably in a similar way to an Aladdin’s lamp lighter. Absolutely gleaming silver, one minor knock to the castellated rim. The original screw in plug to the base is missing and has been replaced with a piece of cork.
RICHARD GUYATT WEDGWOOD 1980 JOSIAH ANNIVERS LARGE MUG A super piece designed by Richard Guyatt for Wedgwood for the 250th anniversary of the birth of Josiah Wedgwood. Ltd edition #272 of 1000 and comes with certificate. Excellent, no damage
RICHARD GUYATT WEDGWOOD LONDON SOUVENIR LARGE MUG A super late 60’s piece designed by Richard & Elizabeth Guyatt for Wedgwood as the ‘Wedgwood London Mug’. Excellent, no damage other than a tiny dig to base that is probably from manufacture

RICHARD GUYATT WEDGWOOD CHARLES INVEST RARE BLACK MUG A super piece designed by Richard Guyatt for Wedgwood for the Investiture of Prince Charles in 1969. Black basalt with gilt finish. Ltd edition #183 of 200 and comes in original box. Excellent, no damage, box has some tears and scuffs.
COALPORT PRINCESS ANNE WEDDING POT BRINDLEY 1973 A nice looking piece made to commemorate the Wedding of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Philips in 1973. Designed by D. Brindley for Coalport and #103 of a limited edition of 1000. No damage

ROYAL WORCESTER CATHEDRAL GOBLET 1989 A nice looking piece made to commemorate the Worcester Cathedral Restoration Appeal in 1989 by Royal Worcester. Ltd edition #436 of 500. No damage. There is a very slight rattle to interior of base pedestal – its just a little piece of excess slip from the firing process and nothing to worry about.

STERLING SILVER WW1 ARRAS 1917 PRESENTATION EGG CUP A lovely and unique piece of silver, this is a stand obviously made to display something that was picked up on the WW1 battlefields of Arras in 1917 but actually makes for a perfect sized egg cup. It is fully hallmarked for London 1920 and made by the Goldsmith & Silversmiths Co. Slightly out of perfect shape but stands very nicely.
