Gunner Bailey Posted 27 April , 2020 Author Share Posted 27 April , 2020 (edited) That Hartleys jar is nice and very rare. Great find. They were from Castleford. Edited 27 April , 2020 by Gunner Bailey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trajan Posted 2 May , 2020 Share Posted 2 May , 2020 Just for the record really, but also a question. This Doulton one has appeared here for the princely sum of TL500 - about £60 these days, and so way above what I have paid before. It measures 31 CM x 17,5 CM , and I was thinking of buying it out of lock-down syndrome, and then saw the hole near the base... Were some made like this for a tap?

Gunner Bailey Posted 2 May , 2020 Author Share Posted 2 May , 2020 Never seen that before so I'd say a local civilian modification. Price too high at any rate. Doulton jars are not rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trajan Posted 2 May , 2020 Share Posted 2 May , 2020 (edited) Agree on the price - but if that hole was done pre-firing for a spigot (the glaze seems to cover the edges) then a one-off? I'll see if I can get better photographs! Edited 2 May , 2020 by trajan internet slow and duplicating message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my thinking too - once a common modification. Usually to vases that at the time would have had little other than decorative value, but now would have been rather more valuable had they lacked a hole drilled in the base...

That was my original thinking. But my experience (from antique shops, etc., over many moons) is that in such cases where pots are drilled to become a lamp, the hole is drilled in on the opposite side from the most prominent part of the design, so in this case, if it had been adapted for such use, I would have expected the hole at the rear, not the side. The other point is that it looks like there is a recess around the hole to allow a spigot to fit there. And last but not least, the glaze seems to run into that recess. BUT, if no other example has been noted of an SRD jar with such a modification made at the pottery, then I'll bend to your better opinion on the matter.

Gunner Bailey Posted 3 May , 2020 Author Share Posted 3 May , 2020 And... I'd say a hole for a tap would be 3/4" 18-20 mm. Otherwise flow would be incredibly slow. I'd support the conversation to lamp theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can picture you now; a comfy chair, a glass of red, reading a German bayonet tome, by the light of your SRD lamp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trajan Posted 3 May , 2020 Share Posted 3 May , 2020 (edited) Yes, this is what I was uncertain about - is that a chip or what? I'll take the communis opinio, and that on balance probably a light fitting hole - although still at odds with the usual placement for these. Would be nice as a comfy-chair light indeed - but with a 13 and an 11 yr old also stuck in the 'house' because of lockdown, I don't think I'll get around to a comy chair and book thing for a while, although a few glasses of red will certainly sustain me in our first floor 2 bedroomed flat which - after eight weeks - seems to get smaller by the day ...

Guest Posted 20 August , 2020 Share Posted 20 August , 2020 Hi folks, Here's a ½ gallon Skey '9' Tamworth I've just bought (seller picked this up in Albert years ago apparently). Note the interesting metal handle, I've not seen one like that before - anyone know anything about it? It appears to be specifically designed for this size/style of jar, as a drinking handle. Also, funny how the manufacturer stamp is on both the side and the bottom edge, I've spotted another like that which is almost identical: https://www.ebay.it/itm/Antico-vaso-inglese-in-pietra-Skey-9-Tamworth-S-R-D-/133282881430 Cheers, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner Bailey Posted 22 August , 2020 Author Share Posted 22 August , 2020 That is an interesting handle. Never seen that before. The half gallon jars were normally not for Rum. The most frequently held lime juice or disinfectant. The double stamping I have seen with Skey. An enthusiastic inspector (No.9) I suspect. Skey were a quality firm. Their main product was those beautiful floor tiles you find inside and outside late Victorian and Edwardian houses. Thanks for showing us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trajan Posted 2 January , 2021 Share Posted 2 January , 2021 Three have just popped up over here at prices ranging from 500-650 TL. I bought my first ones here a couple years back at 100-200 TL! Any comments welcome, especially re date - this first one by Port Dundas is said to be WW2.
