CHEESY CRACKER TIN – HOW IRONIC!

Check out this brilliantly kitsch and colourful tin from the 1960s, made by Jacob's, famous for their crackers.


Has a fantastic cheesy image of a gondola from Venice on the top, plus a Chianti wine bottle, with roses and grapes around the edges of the tin.




 

I'm flogging this on Facebook Marketplace, check it out @MattArtPix

ONLY A FIVER!!!!

LANGPORT VINTAGE MARKET

On Saturday 14th May I'll be at the LANGPORT VINTAGE MARKET in Somerset!


I'll have a bigger outside pitch this time, so I'll loads more space to display my vintage goodies!


As it's FA Cup final day, I'll be bringing along loads of vintage Cup Final programmes, a great selection of Chelsea and Liverpool programmes, plus a small replica of the FA Cup!!


See you there!

ART DECO DELIGHT!

Sometimes you buy stock to sell knowing it will be a winner, then get it home, and think... Hmm, actually I really like this!!!


One example is this stunning fire screen made of copper.
 

 
A really unusual item, as it has elements of an Art Deco design, maybe even hints of styles a bit earlier, including Arts & Crafts, and also a Chinese looking bit!!
I hedging my bets that its 1920s though.
 

And it will be on sale when I can bear to part with it!!
