£105.00
Antique early 20th Century Rare surviving example of a table Menu board by 'Pointons' of Stoke On Trent, manufactured in Porcelain and finished with a blush glaze the face to the menu is gold decorated with a closed gallery of Sparrow Birds in flight to the top and to the left side a closed gallery pictorial of a Japanese Blossom branch in bloom, the mainstay of the menu featuring the legend "menu" just below the bird gallery.
Single footed to the reverse so as to be a free standing affair this lovely piece would have been made for Hoteliers and the like, the menu being hand written in pencil and easily wiped off when a change was needed (very much after reusable aide memoires and the like during the period).
The Menu measures 12.7 cm x 9 cm x 4.5 cm in dimension and is stamped to the base of the foot for 'Pointons - Stoke On Trent - England".
Light wear is present but the item is in undamaged condition and still perfectly useable.
