Wessex House Antiques has been trading for over 30 years and has developed an enviable reputation for selling high quality genuine antiques at honest prices to buyers across the UK and internationally.
In 2005 I was invited to write the Shire Guide to Staffordshire Figures, recently reprinted, a signed copy of which will be included with the purchase of any Staffordshire or Prattware figure. Also available by special request from the author at £5.99, including postage.

Description
This port glass must have been made when the glass blower was keen to knock off early! The round bucket bowl has been set on a long slender stem when the glass had obviously not cooled enough so that it leans askew above the mould-blown foot which has cooled unevenly with lots of flaws and a bubble on the edge. Far from discounting the glass, the maker sold it anyway (well it does hold port well and he was probably calculating that the drinker wouldn't be in a fit state to notice!).
