5 Vtg Porcelain Souvenirs England Wales-Ashbourne Bushel-Staffordshire-1890-1940

Description

Offered is this lot of five vintage or antique small porcelain china souvenirs from England and Wales, each described below.
1) A white bowl with a gold rim, decorated with the full-color coat of arms of Chester, England. The bottom is marked "JR & Co", "Victoria China" and "Made in England", made by James Reeves & Co. in Fenton, Staffordshire, England. The company was in business from around 1870 through the late-1940s. The "Made in" probably dates this piece to the 1920s-1940s.
The bowl is approx. 3 3/8" in diameter across the top and about 1 7/8" high. It is in very good condition, with no chips, cracks or scratches. There is some wear to the gold, a few small spots of minor discoloration and an odd "drip" of extra white glazing to the right of the coat of arms.
2) A white pot with a gold rim and a raised design around the top, decorated with a full-color coat of arms above the words "City of Hereford Modern". The bottom is marked "Jakeman & Carver Hereford", "Grafton China" and the mark of A. B. Jones & Sons of Staffordshire, England, the makers of Grafton China. The company was in business from around 1900 through the early 1970s. I believe this particular mark was one of the ones in use in the early part of the company's existence, maybe 1900-1920s? Jakeman & Carver was a Hereford company in business during the period and I assume the seller or distributor of the piece.
The pot is approx. 2 1/4" in diameter at its widest and is about 2 1/8" high. It is in very good condition, with no chips, cracks or scratches. There are some tiny black dots on the surface and a lot of wear to the gold on the rim.
3) A small cone-shaped vase with a scalloped-edge top, decorated with a full-color image of what looks to me like a wolf, dressed in medieval clothing and holding fireplace tools. The bottom is marked "A piece of antiquity painted on the wall adjoining to the kitchen of Winchester College. Pub. by A. L. Henty Winchester".
The piece was made by W. H. Goss in Stoke, Staffordshire, England,
in business from the late 1850s through the mid-1940s.
The vase is approx. 2 5/8" high. It is in very good to excellent condition. I see no chips, cracks or scratches. There are a few spots of discoloration, etc.
4) An unusually-shaped piece, a miniature model of the "Ashbourne Bushel", made by W. H. Goss in Stoke, Staffordshire, England. (I was unable to find out exactly what the "Ashbourne Bushel" is; I assume some sort of early standard measure of the bushel that began in Ashbourne, a town in Derbyshire, England-see next-to-last photo.) The short and wide piece has three small feet, raised lines that encircle the outside, with a small raised coat-of-arms-like device on the outside front. It is white with a gold rim, the inside decorated with the full-color coat of arms of Ashbourne, England.
W. H. Goss was in business from the late 1850s through the mid-1940s. The bottom of the piece has the registration no. 450628, dating to the late 1880s; the piece itself probably dates from that time through the 1890s. The bottom also is marked "Pub by L. B. Twells Ashbourne". I have found that someone by that name was working as a photographer in Ashbourne around that time; could he have been the designer?
The piece is approx. 2" in diameter across the top and about 1 1/4" high. Most of the piece is in very good condition but one of the tiny side handles has been broken off (see last photo) and there is a short hairline mark on one side.
5) A white pot with an unusual rough scalloped top opening and a gold rim, decorated with a full-color coat of arms of Llandudno, Wales. The bottom is marked "Grafton China", "England" and the mark of A. B. Jones & Sons of Staffordshire, England, the makers of Grafton China. The company was in business from around 1900 through the early 1970s. I believe this particular mark was one of the ones in use in the early part of the company's existence, maybe 1900-1920s?
The pot is approx. 1 3/4" in diameter at its widest and is about 1 3/4" high as well. It is in very good to excellent condition, with no chips, cracks or scratches. There is wear to some of the gold on the rim.
