Vintage ironstone pure butter slab - dairy grocers slab
A vintage ironstone grocers display slab, modelled in an unusual rectangular form with a flaring top edge and decorated with a variety of black over-glaze transfer typography. The flared top lip shows a lovely classical scrolling transfer along with bold lettering:
Family Grocer, Tea Dealer & Cheesemonger.
Superior British Wines. Reading Fancy Biscuits
The front edge is decorated with bold dimensional 'Pure Butter' typography.
Not so much a reproduction (as this pattern/model is not one produced by any of the known makers) than a piece that takes inspiration from its forebears, this slab would have been produced mid-late 20thC and although not antique is still very rare to find, maybe more so than an original Pure Butter slab!
Dimensions:
29.7cm x 22.5cm
5.5cm tall back edge
Condition:
In perfect original condition with no damage.
International customers and combined shipping
International buyers (outside of the UK) - When you add an item to your cart you can select a shipping destination and the postage will be calculated. Usually this is correct, but for multiple purchases and larger items it is advisable to enquire before purchasing, as shipping is based on rough estimates to different regions and may vary to that stated. You may 'buy it now' with the shipping cost calculated, but if this is incorrect we may contact you after purchase. We will either issue a refund for the difference, or request for a remaining postage balance to be paid, either way we will always contact you before any changes are made. Our standard postage costs include tracking where possible and usually require a signature upon receipt, please also include a contact phone number when ordering. Postage to P.O. boxes must be enquired about before purchase as many shippers do not deliver to them.
*Multiple purchases - If you would like to purchase multiple items we can usually combine shipping. It is best to message us first for a shipping quote, but to avoid missing out you can purchase items through the website immediately without paying a shipping fee. Add the desired pieces to your cart, then view your cart and in order summary there is a drop down menu with postage options. Select *Multiple purchases & combined shipping* and the shipping price will be removed. You can now pay for your selected items and we will contact you with a shipping quote to then be paid separately.
