Rare Dewhurst Sylko Three Shells Ceramic Cotton Reel Display Pot A striking large ceramic Dewhurst’s Sylko “Three Shells” Machine Twist display pot, modelled in the form of an oversized cotton reel. Finished in cream and deep green/black glaze, the pot has a printed Dewhurst’s Sylko Three Shells label to the lid and opens to reveal a removable white ceramic inner liner. It is a wonderfully decorative piece, combining haberdashery interest with strong mid-century design appeal. A particularly appealing feature is the “Selected for the Design Centre London” label to the base. This helps place the piece within the mid-century Design Centre / Design Council period, most likely circa 1960s–1970s, and makes it a more desirable version for collectors of British design as well as Sylko, Dewhurst’s, sewing and advertising wares. This is a very displayable piece, ideal for collectors of vintage haberdashery, shop display, sewing advertising, textile history and mid-century ceramics. ConditionIn good vintage condition with age-related crazing to the cream glazed areas, some surface wear, light marks and minor glaze irregularities consistent with age and use. The printed lid design remains bright and decorative, and the piece retains its Design Centre London label to the base. DimensionsH: 15cm x D: 15 cm EraMid 20th century, circa 1960s–1970s
