Chinaware

We offer an interesting selection of vintage white chinaware in perfect condition, including highly collectable English jelly moulds (Shelley, Copeland and others) of differing shapes and sizes, French and English banded dairy jugs, French "soupieres", sauce boats and slop pails.  Occasionally, we are most fortunate to find white china "Cream" jars, "Pure Butter" and "Margarine" slabs which, historically, were found in grocers' stores for countertop display.  We also offer antique creamware plates (ribbon and plain) and Corinthian column candlesticks. 

As all our china is in mint condition, enjoy using the jelly moulds for creating wonderful milk and fruit jellies.  Likewise, serve your milk, cream and homemade lemonade in our classic dairy jugs, and fill soupieres with wholesome soups or with homegrown fruit, vegetables or salad leaves.   Butter and margarine slabs are ideal for displaying and serving cheese or fresh fruit.  Let the timeless elegance of white china enhance your kitchen or dining room, creating an impressive but simple collection when grouped together on an antique dresser.

To complement our vintage collection of chinaware, we are pleased to offer new cream tableware from Hartley Greens & Co.'s "Hunslet" range.  Originally intended as purely utilitarian objects, the simple lines of these jugs and bowls, nonetheless, have an elegance of their own, revealing without the distraction of any decoration, the full beauty of the cream glazed clay used in this collection.
