Description
This is a vintage ceramic novelty decanter, modelled in the form of an early 20th-century British double-decker omnibus. The piece features a mottled brown salt-glaze style finish with hand-painted details, depicting a driver at the front and several passengers on both the lower and upper decks. The item is adorned with several relief advertisements typical of the era it represents, including Nestlé’s, OXO, and Pears Soap, along with a destination sign for The Palace Music Hall. The registration plates bear the number RL 8957. While the style reflects British transport from the late 19th to early 20th century, the piece itself likely dates from the mid-20th century as a commemorative novelty item. Dimensions: Approximately 7.75 inches in height.
