Great Keith, that is good to see. So the 'bowl with two spouts' is actually a wine glass cooler, I had wondered what it was for. Neither being 18thC or gentry I was clueless. :D

Got the rolling pin it's good for decoration in the kitchen and for wacking potential burglers, got all the decanters, selling the Bristol blue candlestick on ebay at the minute something i have never seen before.

There all lovely quality and the candlestick is the first signed one in this set i have come across, some are unmarked and some have a sandblasted S on them for seconds.

Keith your going to end up with another 30 odd more things if your not carefull

You've got nothing in Bristol Amber?  ;D

Seriously, I also have a few of these, including the two decanters in amethyst. The mallet-styled one* doesn't have a stopper, so if you're interested...?

* Also good for clonking burglars  :-X
