during the 1960's

Both showcasing varying signs of age and patina to the surface

whilst a few chess pieces are ever so slightly wonky (in a charming way) The light Queen also bears a couple of spots of ebony stain from the finishing process

and once wound up it occasionally just requires a kick-start by placing it face down for a minute

This is a phenomenal table clock

Bonsai planter, England. 1980s. SAD Designs during the 1960'sA modest moulded bonsai planter with hand thrown tray, executed by an English pottery studio in the 1980's. Crafted from terracotta and partially glazed throughout, the organic asymmetrical forms really make this example stand out from typical bonsai planters, especially in terms of its heavily textured and mottled surface. A must have for green fingered decorators looking for the perfect accompaniment to their plant collection. Specifications:
