Based in stunning Speyside, Moray, Scotland, we (Mr & Mrs W) are passionate about quality antique items with great design and evident craft, predominantly from the 18th, 19th and early 20th century.
In particular, we enjoy period items reflecting the beautiful design and aesthetic changes from the decorative arts, from circa 1850 - 1960. Including the Aesthetic Movement, Art Nouveau, Arts & Crafts Movement (In particular of Scottish origin), Modernism, Art Deco and Streamlining. We also enjoy the great craft and quality construction in folk art and vernacular items from across Europe. In particular, Scandinavian decorative items from the 18th and 19th Century. We enjoy being analytical in our approach and supporting our stock with background research, provenance and history through researching the items, the period, designers and retailers.
We often hunt the country from our Scottish location, but routinely search from Lancashire and Yorkshire as well as buying trips further afield to supply items online. We also like to take on items that particularly interest us from earlier periods, dependent on our fascination for an object.
We are always learning, and happy to share knowledge gained, so please do get in touch. Thanks for viewing our selection of stock, we are always pleased to see items pass through our hands to new owners and homes as antiques remain a great green recyclable purchase!

Description
Second half of the 19th Century Scottish vernacular earthenware glazed pottery crock / milk storage vessel circa 1860-1900.
- Earthenware milk vessel with cream-coloured glazed interior and two handles to the exterior with very simple line marks. Before pasteurisation became standard, milk would have been drawn and strained before storage and use.
- Dark brown glazed upper surfaces and unglazed earthenware base to sit on or against cold damp earth or stone for keeping the contents cool. The neck of the storage vessel has a pronounced lip over which to stretch and secure a covering. Unmarked.
- In good solid antique condition given age at circa 150 years of age, nibbles to the earthenware foot as shown and one chip to the outer rim with a small corresponding internal crack close to the lip shown in the images.
A beautiful piece of Scottish vernacular earthenware pottery.
