VINTAGE PORTMEIRION MINI POTTY WITH COUNTRY LIFE TRANSFER
Very Rare And Unusual 1960's Miniature Item!
|
I am pleased to offer a vintage Portmeirion miniature 3.5 by 3 inch potty with a Country
Life (or, maybe it is Sporting Scenes) transfer inside.
During the 1960's, a series of tiny white items were made using black transfers.
It is in very nice condition with only common fine and clean crazing and a few
minor factory flaws. Please be sure to see the full description below...
The design is taken from an antique Beswick wood carving.
