A Manuel Corbato Majolica brick, a Rockingham style plate, copper lustre jug and Worcester pin tray. Plate diameter 24 cm. CONDITION REPORT: Looking at the brick the bottom right hand corner has a large chip as does the bottom left corner. The top right and top left corners have small glaze chips. There is a further chip just beneath the leaping stag on the rim. Looking at the front side, the top right hand corner has a chip, the top left hand corner has a chip but this is a continuation of the chip directly above. The left hand side has a small glaze chip to the top left corner. These should all be visible on our website image. The pin tray that accompanies these items has been fully restored with numerous rivet repairs. The dessert plate rings out when tapped. It has numerous surface scratches which are slightly stained. The underside also has surface scratches. The earthenware jug glaze is extremely finely crazed throughout the interior and also on the handle spout and exterior foot rim. The lustre is worn on the foot rim and spout. The spout has a 1 cm hairline crack on the lip and a further 6 cm crack running down its left hand side.
Five pieces of Royal Worcester blush ground porcelain, comprising Tyg, 1906, Loving cup, 1908, a leaf moulded vase, 1911, a basket, 1911 and a lidded rouge pot, 1912. All with floral hand painted decoration and with printed marks to the underside: and a Helena Wolfsohn attributed porcelain chocolate cup cover and trembleuse stand, decorated with panels of pastoral scenes, tallest 11.5 cm. CONDITION REPORT: There is a tiny fracture on the inside of the rouge pot lid, this can be felt with a fingernail and viewed using a jeweller's loupe. The loving cup has a large rim to rim hairline crack across the bottom. All other items of Worcester are in good order. The Helena Wolfsohn chocolate pot has a broken cover which has been glued. There are small chips to the floral knop of the lid. The actual cup & saucer appear to be in good order with no obvious faults.
A Royal Worcester vase, in the form of an urn on stand, registered number 301166, puce mark to base, height 21 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The vase has a puce printed mark. The shape number is 1948. The date code is 1898. There is an additional impressed number 82. There are inscribed initials TS. An inscribed number 61. Unfortunately the vase has been broken off the pedestal at some point in its life and has been restored. There is very light gilt rubbing throughout on the high points of the vase and pedestal. The interior centre of the vase has numerous light surface scratches, these do not appear to be cracks because when viewing the vase using a high powered torch the body appears to be intact.
A Royal Worcester part dessert service, date code 1908/09, each with hand painted rose leaves against a blush pink, yellow and blue ground, printed and impressed marks, inscribed No. W6934. CONDITION REPORT: The square dish is in good order and rings out nicely when tapped. There are six plates. Two of the plates with red rose decoration appear to have a lot of the enamel missing. This should be visible from our online image. There is a further plate with a rosebud and this has slight enamel losses and also there are some white patch marks to the left of the bud. The two rose plates with the large amount of enamel losses also have large patches of faded/rubbed areas just to the left of the flowers and before the rim. The yellow rose plate has a large thumb print size patch erased to the right of the flower just before the rim. Each plate has small surface marks and light scratches. Having said that all plates are free from visible chips, cracks and further flaws and all ring out nicely when lightly tapped.

Great Britain - Covers - QV : 1820s-1950s Just how often does an original archive turn up these days? Looking back, I remember being on the periphery of the discovery of the ‘Corsini’ correspondence – even today when such letters turn up they seem to be avidly snapped up. But, all those tales of Solicitor’s cellars and crate-fulls of penny blacks on cover seem to be flights of fancy don’t they. Well, not any longer; I’d say this is the first original archive we’ve seen in thirty years. That’s remarkable, utterly remarkable. Understandably the vendor wished to keep the entire archive intact, preserving it for posterity. Unfortunately (but fortunate for the owner) the discovery of a 4 margin 1d black rare Plate XI on cover within the archive significantly ‘skewed’ the value of the archive increasing the estimate value by 5 figures upward so that the archive ‘intact’ - valued at £20,000+ was sufficient to deter most buyers. The plate XI cover has now been sold - thereby presenting postal historians and historic wine researchers/ wine aficioandos an unique unparalled opportunity to acquire the entire archive (excluding one cover only for which a scan is available) at a much more affordable collector/researcher’s price. This being the archive of Pulling & Co., Wine merchants of Hereford. The archive includes price lists, advertising cards, invoices dating from the 1820s, many 100s – at first we thought probably high hundreds of items housed in three large tubs, but when the team actually waded through we counted an extraordinary approximately 3,400 items of which in the region of half appear to be philatelic with a substantial balance in documents, receipts, invoices, uncancelled letters, and including hundreds of ‘Pulling’s’ own brand bottle labels, cards/marketing material etc. Highlights include 1d black Plate 10 on entire letter (4 margin but aged) from Worcester MY 11 1841 tied black Maltese Cross, close at top right otherwise four margins. There are a few other 1d black covers and a three margin 1840 2d blue on 1843 cover from Dublin, very late usage. Noted are many imperf and perf 1d red covers including much postmark interest, Irish, Spoons, etc. Invoices to Pulling & Co. postmarked from Cognac, France include four 1851-52 covers bearing Ceres imperf 40c orange pairs and three with Ceres imperf 40c orange horiz strips of four, including one 4 margins and unfolded – SG catalogue £600 - £700 each stamp depending upon shade and excluding premium for strips. An original lot, offered completely intact as received and condition variable throughout, but obviously including ‘plum’ items, excellent lot for a wine enthusiast with huge scope for research. Although perhaps not of pecuniary value what I particularly like about this archive is the social history and the fabulous engraved ‘letterheads’ and designs of invoices and receipts redolent of the period. This archive is the only lot offered in this auction which may be personally viewed at our offices, strictly by appointment only.
