A Wrotham brown and yellow slip ware tyg/ puzzle jug, dated 1689 between the spire topped handles, and with 'I.I' for John Ifield, GG, possibly for George Gypson (Gibson), one of the handle tops pierced to act as drinking straw connecting with a hole in the base of the bowl interior, 11.5cm (4.57 in) high Provenance: Ex Colln. R Sainsbury see letters to and from AJB Kiddell 24/1 and 28/1/55 In the 17th century, the Weald area of Kent, centred on the village of Wrotham, gave rise to a simple form of pottery using the local red clay. The vessels were decorated with watered-down clays (slip) which were applied to the surface before the pot was fired, and this was known as slip-ware. The potters of Wrotham are regarded as having created some of the most technically challenging and well drawn and designed slipware of its age. The communal drinking vessel, or tyg, derived its name from the Saxon, Tiegel, and was used on festive occasions to brew and serve posset (hot milk curdled with ale or wine and spices). The numerous handles meant it could be grasped from the centre of the table by any of the guests.

English Provincial School (circa 1750) A family seated around a table, eating fruit with their pets and a maidservant oil on canvas 42 x 64cm (16 x 25in) Oil on a coarse weave canvas, unlined. Unframed. The paint layer extends over all four tacking margins suggesting the composition was originally larger and has been cut down. Small hole in the canvas at the lower right corner. Losses to the paint layer around the turnover edges. The paint layer has a slightly raised craquelure pattern but is stable and secure. Layer of dust and dirt across the surface.
A boxed set of eight Elizabethan wooden roundels painted in red, green and white with flowers and knotted scrolls about Biblical verses in black, each roundel 12.5cm (5 in) diameter Other Notes: These thin, circular wooden trenchers would provide the post-banquet entertainment during the reigns of Elizabeth I, James II and Charles I. Once the main course was cleared away, the roundels would be placed face down and sweets would be served on them - marchpane, sugar plums and other confectionary. Once eaten, Grace would be said and the roundels reversed, revealing their ornamental faces painted with one or more verses. These verses, varying from the amusing to the improving, would be sung or recited in turn around the table. Subjects varied from satirical verses, proverbs, signs of the Zodiac, moralising stories, Aesops Fables and Bible quotations as in this case.
A mid-18th century mahogany and ebony games table, with fold-over action and inlaid with ivory squares and with end drawers, on shaped cabriole legs and carved feet, believed to be for the Turkish market and the Armenian game of 'Guni-Chah' 74 x 116 x 68cm (29 x 45 x 27in) Other Notes: This unusual mid-18th century ebony games table with foldover top was made in England; its provenance stating "for the Turkish market." The top veneered in small squares of yellowish ivory, with a pattern picked out in green squares, suggests it was used for Duni-Chah, an Armenian board game. Duni-Chah is Hindi for "a world of six" which may indicate a game of dice, now long forgotten. Finely crafted by an English joiner and of excellent quality, it has retained its interest despite the mystery surrounding its purpose.
