When they cleared Pete's mum's house we didn't keep much but these luscious items came home with us. Conch teapot and jug anyone?? A quick perusal on Ebay (search term: 'conch teapot' of course) shows 7 separate listings... one seller thinks they might even get £25 for just the teapot. The more realistic are listing at 99p. One reckons it's 'majorlica' - is that like majolica but from Majorca? I dunno if it is or not. I think it's just an earthenware seaside souvenir probably churned out in their millions in the 50s
I think if I saw this in a junk shop I would recoil in terror but because these came from Grannie's and because Pete bought them for her when he was about 12 I love them. Now if I can just find someone selling the matching sugar bowl...
