This very rare cup was produced by Doulton Burslem. It features John Robert Godley, founder of the Canterbury Settlement, on one side, and William Reece, Mayor of Christchurch 1900-1901. During Reece's term Canterbury celebrated its 50th jubilee and this piece may have been produced at the time to mark the occasion. There is wear to the gold trim, but otherwise this piece is in very good condition with no chips, cracks or crazing.

A very nice advertising cribbage board for The "All Black" Tobacco, compliments of T. C. Williams the tobacco producer from Richmond, Virginia, USA. The board measures 13" x 4 1/4" and has a moulded edge. Probably not a performance enhancing product though! Please see the advertisement for this product in the Southland Times 1906 shown in our second photograph.

Fabulous green glaze large jug by Luke Adams. There is some evidence of a raised pattern near the handle but it is not well defined. The jug is unmarked but is Luke Adams from the style, colour, and clay used. This piece is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or crazing, and measures 7" high.

Interesting antique writing box presented to Reverend A Peters in March 1897, paua and carved trim all the way around the top edge, ivory escutcheon, has just had a replacement key cut so that is new, missing the little clasp to hold the back part of the writing slope, original leather inlay, measures 36cm x 25.5cm x 15cm.

This chunky glass perfume bottle was hand blown in New Zealand by artist Tony Keupfer. Clear glass encases a pale blue opaque interior. The perfume measures 5 3/4" high. The stopper is missing.
