February’s Pot of the Month is this 4 ⅜”/11cm conical vase, bearing a commemorative decoration relating to the Boer War.

As it’s now January 2023 we decided to see in the New Year with a bang, so are offering three pots of the month rather than the usual one. Of course what other theme could we possibly choose except Hogmanay (Scots for “New Year”)? Our first offering is obviously not Goss. This pretty little puzzle…

October’s Pot of the Month is this vase with everted rim. Standing 3”/7.5cm high it is decorated with an image of King Arthur, and an inscription on the base which says: “From King Arthur’s Round Table at Winchester Castle”.

Manufactured during the factory’s Third period (1929-1939), this model also comes in both a white and coloured 6”/150mm version. “A fat, vain, and boastful knight, he spends most of his time…
