British Art Pottery – Linthorpe Vase by Christopher Dresser

This small Linthorpe vase in the collection of Eileen and Anthony Sargeant has a wonderful quality of glaze and shape. It joins a large number of other British Art Pottery pieces in the collection. It is 6 inches tall.

My best friend underneath the arches at David Austin Roses

We are back in midsummer ! The gardens at David Austin Roses on the Staffordshire – Shropshire border . Tony Sargeant took this photograph of his best friend (don’t you love the retro 1950s dress?) .  So good to be reminded of the warmth of summer in the depths of winter.
