19th century English pewter potty.

Used in displays for over 30 years.

Loved doing the ad with Russell Winnell in our home.

Russell was packing up his lighting when the boys arrived home from park.

They jumped onto the chair for a quick photo, I used this ad in many magazines over the years.

Also sat framed on their grandparents living room wall.

BTW, Charlie now 21, Luke 20.

They sit so well on 18th-19th century English pewter chargers and compliment my beautiful 18th century English country oak chest of drawers.
As well as the Mid 17th century hand coloured copper engraving ’pseudo struthium’ by Basil Besler 1640 (above).

Loving my time spent creating displays in my showroom.
