COLLECTORLINKS...ALWAYS ON THE LOOKOUT
FOR WHAT OTHERS ARE LOOKING FOR
Antique and vintage items make nicer than new gifts THE ITEM SylvaC (Shaw and Copestake) is one of the UK's best known, much loved and enthusiastically collected ceramic brands with a massive range of products...many of them animal related with huge appeal and often very cute. We are listing an excellent example of one of its most appealing and iconic vintage ranges...'A Dog with Toothache'. It was produced in three sizes and this one is the largest (2451); it stands some 12inches (30.5cm) tall to the top of the bow. It has the correct impressed markings on the base and still retains its original, metallic SylvaC lable on its left ear. Please see images which try to capture the piece from every angle. CONDITION Although a product from the Swinging Sixties, and therefore well over half a century old, this dog comes has enjoyed a caring home because it is in remarkably good condition; no cracks, chips or evidence of restoration. We notice a micro mark on its right paw (see images) which is under the glaze and we must assume it's a very minor production flaw. PRICING Whenever possible our asking prices are based on either our knowledge of the genre or on what similar pieces have actually been sold for on the international market, rather than what some sellers are asking, which are usually two very different things! You will normally find that our prices sit somewhere in the middle between auction and professional dealer prices and we are always willing to consider realistic offers. SHIPPING We have a 100pc success rate for over a decade of successfully shipping fragile glassware and ceramics across the UK and the wider World. We only charge what the Post Office and couriers charge us. International shipping? Since Covid, we have started to use eBay's Global Shipping Programme for packages over 2kg because it has proved to be competitive and reliable. However, we also have access to an on-line international broker and if you would like us to check-out other rates and it may be possible to ship using Royal Mail Airmail. Please ask us before buying.
