A large, 1930s, ceramic sugar shaker or caster by Bretby Art Pottery. Second-hand.
What's for sale?
This is a large, 1930s, ceramic sugar shaker or caster by Bretby Art Pottery.
It's from their well known, collectable range of blue and white kitchenware marketed as "Bretby Kitchen Kupboard Ware".
It's a simple design, in a nice, azure blue with white pinstripes which doesn't seem to age. The range had quite a large number of items aimed at the kitchen and breakfast table. Some items were also available in sage green. It was probably their response to T G Green's Cornishware and Streamline ranges, but it has its own look.
Who made it and when?
It was made by Derbyshire manufacturer Bretby Art Pottery during the 1930s.
