Fibreglass Tray
This fibreglass tray with a Japanese scene is very pretty indeed, although it does have a few scuff marks and the fibres are starting to show through in some places. It would be lovely to serve tea from (are any of us still civilised enough to use a tray?) or alternativelyy it could form part of an eclectic wall display.
Dimensions: 45cm across
Original Price: R95
RESERVE: R25

Set of four brass ashtrays with holder
I’m not normally a huge fan of brass, but these little ashtrays are quite special. They look to me to be designed for single person use, and I think are probably from a time (not that long ago) when smoking was considered more fashionable than it is today! Imagine a dinner party where each of your guests gets their own ashtray to relax with after dinner – aaahhh those were the days (you can tell I’m one of the last remaining nicotine fiends can’t you?).
Dimensions: Each ashtray measures 7cm across. Stacked in their holder they measure 4cm high
Original price: R180
RESERVE: R40

Art Deco Decanter
The shape of this decanter looks to me to be art deco. It has a lovely pink hue, and I really enjoy the fact that the stopper is hollow – it seems to add to its delicateness. The glass has some dull marks on the inside of the decanter which unfortunately don’t show up at all in the photos, but you won’t be able to see these signs of age when it’s filled with a nice cognac! This is an unusually petite decanter, so please pay attention to the dimensions.
Dimensions: 19cm high x 13cm at its widest
Original Price: R95
RESERVE: R25

Sylvao Snack Dish
This diamond-shaped Sylvao (England) snack dish has a hairline crack, and a few specks of black glaze have gone astray during the glazing process, but it also has a lovely soft pink texture that more than makes up for its faults.
Dimensions: 32cm at its longest x 16cm at its widest
Original Price: R95
RESERVE: R25
