19cms wide finished in powder blue glaze (f). This has the square date code of 1930/1?
Ashtead Potters sales cards
The travelling salesmen had a pack of small cards listing the various items for sale. These listed the sizes, colours, decorated finishes and prices available for each item produced. There was also a larger more comprehensive catalogue which had photographs of a selection of the current wares. The examples above are near original size, however, due to being copies of copies of copies, they have lost some of the original detail.
Ashtead Potters Coffee Pot X32 and Mug C10
A one serving pot, there should also be a hot water jug with handle/spout on the opposite side (i.e. left handed). The water jug does not have the filter holes in the lid. These pots often appear for sale as left or right handed jugs minus their lids. It is not thought that two pieces formed part of a set. Both finished in buff glaze (t), the pot stands 11cms tall.
