Collectables

We have a constant stream of unusual paraphernalia, antique bottles, old pots and early 20th Century packaging. Ceramic pots with rare labels, especially with pictorial motifs, demand a premium. Our selection contains some wonderful pieces that will sit beautifully on your mantelpiece or hold your toothbrushes and achieve an authentic ‘period’ look. They were found by a local Cornish ‘tipper’ who spends many hours scouring forgotten century old waste disposal sites countrywide. These relics have sat buried beneath rubbish dumps for over 100 years and are in remarkable condition! Its quite incredible that so many remain in such good condition bar a little crazing and the old chip here and there. In our shop we keep a small selection on display, for sale, on our little shelves seen below. Click here to see a small selection online.

Here are a few of the small tins which I've recently acquired. I don't know alot about tins yet. Suffice to say they are very pretty, very small and have some nostalgic brands on them.
