Summary
Obtaining a damaged ceramic at auction is one of the easiest ways to test any latent restorer's skill, especially if the item has a clean break and a modest guide. Serious consideration should be given to a typical majolica specimen under the hammer at Shobrooks, Plymouth on Wednesday - at 20ins (51cm) it would look good on any table or dresser.
Sitting astride a winged beast, in blue/grey with green wingtips, is a cherub that forms the bows of this boat-shaped dish, in bright enamels. With a sky blue interior, the oblong ceramic is unmarked and calls for bids from pounds50. Similar interest is anticipated for an old cash till in a silver-coloured case that was part of farmhouse and public house clearance in Cornwall.See the full content of this document
